A Knowledge organiser that captures the essential knowledge and skills learnt throughout the Year 6 unit Religion and worldviews, Y6, Why does religion look different around the world? (Part 2)
This resource helps children explore the diversity of religious beliefs, practices, and interpretations across the world. Pupils will learn how historical migration, geography, and cultural exchanges have shaped variations within worldviews. They will study key concepts such as diversity, liberation, enlightenment, and initiation, enhancing their understanding of how beliefs adapt and evolve in different contexts. Key facts include how light is used in many traditions as a symbol of hope, knowledge, and triumph over evil. Pupils will also explore Buddhist schools such as Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, and Zen, as well as the Sikh practice of Amrit Sanchar and the significance of the five articles of faith in Sikhism. It supports the pupils in engaging critically with how religion is practised differently based on culture, tradition, and personal beliefs. It fosters a deeper appreciation of global diversity and encourages respectful dialogue about faith and identity.
