EYFS – Harvest festival with Pastor Kevin

Class 8: being theologians!
In RE today, we read a new Hindu story together. It was about a lady who wanted to meet God but she told different people to ‘go away’. It turned out that God was in all of those people- God was the kindness inside of them. We took a photo to show ways that we thought you could show kindness to others.
You could give hugs, hold hands, show respect, blow kisses, smile or give a love heart sign.
What a great story!
Class 6 RE
In our RE session this afternoon we focused our recent learning on the 6 main religions in the UK on Christianity. We found out about their Holy book and place of worship and discussed the ceremonies carried out in Church. We finished our lovely peaceful afternoon by colouring bookmarks showing some Christian symbols.
Well done everyone x
Year 3: RE – Why do Jews celebrate Pesach?
In our Religious Education session this week, we continued our learning about Moses and the Exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. We learned about their hurried meal of lamb and a flat bread called matzah, and we found out that the Jewish faith remembers and celebrates this important time in their religion via the holiday of Passover (or, Pesach in Hebrew). To consolidate our learning, we sorted reasons for the Exodus into True and False … luckily, we weren’t caught out by any of the red herrings!
We have really been enjoying learning all about the stories of the Jewish religion, why not ask us about how the Jews were told to protect their first born sons from the tenth plague of Egypt?
Class 8: Religious education
The children enjoyed this week’s Hindu story of the 6 blind men and the elephant. The message of the story was that the truth can be seen in different ways because all of the blind men thought that the elephant looked differently. They had a go at the quiz and even took turns to wear a blindfold and guess what the object was that they were holding. Another fantastic discussion was had about truth and integrity. Well done class 8!
Class 6 RE
Today in our RE lesson we looked at places of worship and compared them with our school. We found out that there are lots of similarities in the two and thought about some of the activities we do in school.
Great job superstars!
Year 3 – RE: The Story of Moses
Last week, Year 3 continued their RE learning around the Jewish religion and its stories about God’s promises. We learned about the story of Moses, from his escape as a baby in a Moses basket on the River Nile to his victory in leading his people out of slavery and through the Red Sea itself. To consolidate their learning, children reenacted scenes from the story and created story maps to retell the tale. Why not ask your child to retell you the story and see how much they can recall? Can they remember the ten plagues that God sent to Egypt to help Moses in persuading the pharaoh to release his slaves?
Crew Knowles – RE
This week in RE, we looked at building background information on the different forms of the Hindu god. We learned about Ganesha, Lakshmi and Vishnu to name just a few. We also managed to get in some active learning by moving around the classroom to collect the information!
Class Spetch – Active learning in RE
This week, we have developed our knowledge of Hindu Gods by taking part in some active research. The children independently researched the Gods using the fact files around the room and collated information about 4 of their chosen Gods.
Class 7 – RE – The Four Friends
Class 7 continued their RE learning with more Hindu stories. This week it was 4 friends where we learned that we can all use our talents to help others and be kind!
