About this resource

The Year 2 Unit 14 lesson plan, ‚”What is the ‚”Good News‚” that Christians say Jesus brings? (Part 2)‚ continues to build on children‚”s understanding of Christian belief, focusing on how Jesus‚” teachings offer hope, friendship, and forgiveness. This unit takes a practical, child-friendly approach to unpack the Gospel message and what it means for Christian living today.

The lessons help pupils explore how Christians believe Jesus brings good news for everyone, particularly through his actions, parables, and miracles. Children reflect on how Christians try to follow Jesus‚” example, including showing kindness, helping others, and forgiving mistakes. Through discussion, stories, and creative tasks, pupils gain a deeper awareness of Christian values such as compassion, humility, and service.

A key focus is on the idea that Jesus is a friend to the friendless and brings comfort to those in need. The lessons allow pupils to think about their own experiences of needing help, making friends, or saying sorry. This encourages ages a personal connection to the learning, supporting spiritual and moral development.

The unit also offers insight into Christian community life, helping pupils understand why church, prayer, and Bible reading are important to believers. Pupils explore how Christians try to live out the Gospel in their everyday lives and communities.

By reinforcing the concept of ‚”Good News‚” in both theological and practical terms, this unit supports children in developing religious literacy, empathy, and an appreciation of the Christian worldview.
