Key Stage 2

Religious Education KS2 Unit 6F (Year 6) - How do people express their faith through arts?

This unit focuses on some of the ways in which music, art and drama are used to express aspects of faith. The main focus is on Christianity and Islam, with reference to Hinduism. The unit provides opportunities for children to experience how certain art forms can be used to express feelings, emotions and intentions and to learn how these are used in a religious context to express faith.

In this unit children will have an opportunity to use words and phrases related to:
