#TheCompleteSeries5lessons

This complete series of five Sikhism lessons for upper KS2 is ideal to build on your pupils' existing understanding of this major world religion. Focusing on worship and beliefs, your class will find out how Sikhs remind themselves of the guiding principles of Sikhism, their commitment to their faith, and the role of Sikhs within their own, and wider, communities.

This scheme of work includes detailed lesson planning, Sikhism worksheets, slides with images and information about Sikhism and its places of worship and a range of differentiated learning activities.

#Lesson1WhatdoSikhsbelieve

Remind children of the origins of Sikhism and give them an overview of Sikh beliefs, including the origins of the religion and its founders, Guru Nanak and the other ten Gurus.

This is the first lesson of five in 'Sikh Worship and Community' – and it's ideal for reminding children of the basics about Sikhism and its principles. With the included slides, worksheets and activities, children will learn all about Guru Nanak and the nine other gurus who founded and shaped the Sikh religion. They'll also be reminded of some of the core principles of Sikhism and the ways in which Sikhs worship.

  • Lesson plan
  • Slides
  • Activity ideas
  • Differentiated worksheets
  • Information sheet
  • Fact cards

#Lesson2PrayersandSymbols

Learn about the variety of ways in which Sikhs pray (including morning and evening prayer), and introduce them to important Sikh symbols.

In this lesson, children will think about what prayer is before looking at some of the ways in which Sikhs pray. You'll introduce them to the Mool Mantar (or Mool Mantra) and the importance of the Ik Onkar symbol for 'one God'. They'll go on to find out about a Sikh's daily prayer schedule, including morning and evening prayer, and describe the meaning of the Mool Mantra in their own words.

This is the fourth of five lessons in the 'Sikh Worship and Community' RE scheme of work for Year 5 and Year 6.
