The resource packs include resource pack including PowerPoint presentations with reflective questions, quizzes and crafts, accompanies the videos to provide memorable learning opportunities that develop knowledge of Christian beliefs and practices.

ASN Resource – Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus? is an RME resource designed specifically for young people with additional support needs (ASN) in secondary education.

It explores where Christians get their beliefs and practices through sensory, tactile experiences where learners develop their opinion, assess, evaluate and have fun.
