R.E – Year 5 – Islam Unit (12 lesson unit)

This is a whole-term unit containing 12 lessons, with the first six lessons focusing on the beliefs that many Muslims hold, and the following six lessons looking at ‘belonging’ in the Islamic faith. As part of this unit of work, it will be necessary to visit a mosque and invite in a visitor from the Muslim community. If it is impossible to visit a mosque in your locality, use an online virtual tour.

Learning within this unit will be enhanced if examples of artefacts are available for pupils to experience.
