Knowledge organiser – R&W Y5/6 (A): What happens when we die? (Part 1)

A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the mixed-age unit Religion and worldviews, Year 5/6 (A), What happens when we die? (Part 1).

 

This resource is designed to support pupils in understanding diverse perspectives on death and the afterlife across different religious and non-religious worldviews. It introduces key concepts such as the soul, atonement, reconciliation, and beliefs about the afterlife in Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Humanism. Terms like Jannah, Olam Ha-Ba, Gehinnom, and purgatory are explained, alongside traditions such as Yom Kippur and Dia de los Muertos. The organiser explores how people honour the dead, seek forgiveness, and find comfort through rituals and beliefs, highlighting how views on death are shaped by culture, faith, and personal interpretation. It is ideal for promoting reflection and respectful dialogue about life, death, and legacy.
