INTRUDUCTION
Curriculum design is the process of creating the whole blueprint of the course which is
basically cover the activities, lesson, assessment etc. This is prepared by the teacher for their
student with the aim of enhancing the understanding of students on specific theme. The present
assessment will cover the one-week curriculum design on theme “Religion” for students of 3 to 5
years including five-day lesson plan.
Theme of the week:
The selected theme for this week learning is Religion. It is because developing the
understanding of different religion and their respect among the children is most important part of
Early Year Childhood learning (Tannebaum, 2018).
Context of the class:
The context of the class is that build the religion understanding among 3 to 5 year children
through five lesson plans such as art or drawing, songs or music, visual arts such as toys, drama
and video program.
Timeframe of Theme Delivering:
The timeframe required to deliver the Religion learning theme is 1 month. It means different
religions learning should be provided to students of 3 to 5 years within a month in weeks’
session in order to build the understanding on students of religions and its importance (Yusra and
Lestari, 2018). The religion themes are delivered within one month to the students and after
every week the assessment has been plan for the student to check their understanding level on the
theme.
RATIONALE OF CURRICULUM
Explanation of inquiry-based approaches implemented in the curriculum design
In the one-week curriculum design, the inquiry-based learning approach has been
implemented by me in order to engage students of 3 to 5-year age in the real world connections
and environment. The inquiry based learning is one of the best approach which a tutor can used
in order to design and develop best curriculum. This helps the student to engage in the problem
solving and experimental learning. Further, I have also incorporated the play-based learning in
the one-week curriculum design in order to provide best learning on Religion theme to students.
The play-based learning is one of the type of early childhood learning based on open play and
