The Case of the Empty Tomb
Pupils are invited to come as 'detectives' to solve The Case of the Empty Tomb through interactive sessions as a whole group and further investigations in small groups. Drawing on material from Luke's Gospel, pupils have the opportunity to investigate the claims of the Christian faith in a fun, open and accessible way. This is an Understanding Christianity accredited resource.
321 Blastoff... God, the World and Us

The teaching is presented in an interactive way and encourages children to grow in their knowledge of what Christians believe and reflect on how this relates to their understanding of the world and themselves.
