This Religion and Worldviews video introduces teachers to the key ideas and content of the Year 1/2 unit, ‘How do we know some people have a special connection to God?’. It explores how children investigate beliefs from Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh worldviews, using religious stories to identify symbolism, miracles and messages that suggest someone is considered ‘special’ in a religious context. The video guides teachers through the structure of the unit, explaining how stories and questioning help pupils make connections between religious ideas and their own worldviews. It highlights how the concepts of being chosen, having a purpose and communicating with God are explored across religions.
