Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Arrange the children into pairs and hand out the Knowledge organiser: R&W – Why is fire used ceremonially? (one each).

Display the Presentation: Knowledge organiser and ask each child to think of some questions from their learning so far and write them on their whiteboard.

Ask them to swap whiteboards and answer each other’s questions, trying not to use the Knowledge organiser if they can.

Once complete, encourage the children to check their answers using their Knowledge organisers.
