QCA
About this unit

In this unit children will have the opportunity to study worship in several religions, looking at the key features of worship and what worship means to a believer. They will explore the ways different faith groups use prayer as part of their worship. Using written and visual resources and by meeting faith adherents, children will learn about the importance of community and the responsibilities that a religious community has about the way they live in the wider world. This unit can be taught with a focus on worship in any one of the major faith communities, or by comparing two of the religions being taught within a key stage. Children will be encouraged to consider where they turn to discuss their worries and fears, and will then interpret the thoughts and prayers of the religion being studied. They will also consider their own membership of communities.
