This Religion and worldviews video introduces teachers to the unit “How and why are we here?” and supports children in exploring different creation stories and ideas about the origins of the world. The video prepares teachers to help children investigate Jewish, Christian, Hindu and humanist worldviews, including the scientific perspective of the Big Bang theory. Children reflect on stories from religious texts such as the Torah, the Bible, and the Rig Veda, and consider contrasting humanist beliefs that emphasise questioning and evidence.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – the world. It provides essential teacher guidance for exploring creation stories and developing pupils’ understanding of God, science, and how different worldviews shape people’s understanding of existence in age-appropriate, inclusive ways.
