RB learning about Specialness and Special Things

In Reception we have been learning about the concept 'Specialness' and theme 'Special Things'.
We sorted what was special and what was not special e.g. party shoes and normal shoes, a tree and a christmas tree. We then looked at what was special to Jewish people and why e.g. a Synagogue and The Torah. We made our own Torah covers called a 'Mantle' with special symbols important to us.

Shabbat Shalom!

Last term in reception we have been learning about how some people celebrate Shabbat. We talked about how this can be similar or different to celebrations in our own lives. In addition, we talked about what festive days we celebrate and understand that all of us are different and may celebrate different things. We are now excited to focus on 'Specialness' and 'Special Things' in RE this term.

Religious Education in Year 1

Our Religious Education focus this half term is "Change" and looking at how Jesus changed the lives of the people he met. We started by talking about what "change" meant to us and thinking about things that have changed in our own lives. We then explained how this made us feel and decided if they were good changes or bad changes.

Religious Education in Year 4

Our key concept in Religion this term has been 'Rituals' and our theme has been prayers. We learned about the Rosary and its importance. We wrote instructions of how to say the Rosary and then made our very own Rosary beads to represent the different parts of the prayer.
