Strand 7: The effectiveness of Religious Education
Fiona Moss is a National RE adviser
RE WOW week showcase:
We have had an incredible RE WOW week which was started by our amazing whole school trip to the open centre, a mosque and a Gurdwara in Derby. Children and staff have worked so hard and learnt lots about some of the world religions we focused on Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism.
Monday we attended church and completed a session on stations of the cross.
Tuesday we focused on Judaism.
Wednesday we focused on Islam
Thursday we focused on Sikhism
Friday we focused on ourselves and sharing our learning with parents and grandparents.
We closed our week by inviting parents and grandparents into school to our RE showcase to share what we had been learning about and what the children had created. We then had a fantastic Collective Worship led by Fr. Julius to mark Palm Sunday the following Sunday.
World Religions:
We have had a set of large signs created for our bottom playground and some smaller signs for our spiritual area to help celebrate diversity and develop children's sticky knowledge of world religions.
RE described by our children:
RE overview 22-23:
Stanley St. Andrew's RE intent:
'Our school aim of RE is to engage pupils to join in conversations, about ‘BIG’ questions around religions and views about the world, so pupils can gain understanding to respect and appreciate different people’s opinions and create their own answers to improve their responses as their knowledge grows through their school life.'
