Wrongdoing and seeking forgiveness

This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers delivering a unit that explores the big questions: How do worldviews affect our daily lives? and How can worldviews be expressed? Children explore beliefs, practices and scripture from Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu and humanist perspectives. The unit focuses on why people choose to live morally and what different worldviews teach about the consequences of wrongdoing. Key concepts include repentance, forgiveness, karma, and the soul, with examples from religious stories, personal accounts and practices such as Yom Kippur, confession, Ramadan, baptism and belief in karma and reincarnation.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – lessons. It supports teachers in guiding respectful and thoughtful discussions about wrongdoing and the role of forgiveness across worldviews. The video encourages personal reflection while addressing misconceptions around eternal punishment, karma, or humanist morality. Teachers are supported in fostering inclusive learning environments that promote empathy and open-mindedness. Practical guidance is offered on adapting lessons to reflect local worldviews and encouraging visits or visitors to enrich pupils’ understanding of belief and morality in real-life contexts.
