At Pleasant Street Primary School, RE both supports and strengthens what we aim to do in every aspect of school life. Our caring ethos and the value which we place on the development of the whole child; spiritually, morally, socially, culturally and intellectually is reflected in the RE curriculum.
Pleasant Street Primary school follow the Liverpool Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education.
As part of our planning, we like to visit places of worship and we welcome parents and outside agencies into school to share information about festivals, beliefs and faith. If you would like to arrange a visit into school to talk to our children, please send us an email and the RE co-ordinator will be in touch.
In RE Reception have been discussing special people in their lives outside of school, some of the children brought in pictures of people who are special to them, the children gave some lovely reasons to why some of the people were special to them such as ‘because they look after me’ ‘because they show me love’ ‘because they share their money with me’ ‘because they make me laugh’. Thank you for sharing all your special people with us.
The children ended their topic about how and why people celebrate special and sacred times, by comparing the festivals of Easter, Passover and Eid. They then completed a quiz, which was lots of fun!!
The children began their topic today, thinking about celebrations which are important before looking at the important Christian festival Easter and retelling the story.
This term in RE we are exploring special people, last week Reception discussed what is special about themselves through looking at a mirror and expressing why they are special.
This week in Reception we discussed who is special in our class and why they are special? We then created postcards to give to our special friends in class.
A big thank you to this parent this afternoon who delighted and informed the class about life as a Muslim! The children contributed with such knowledge and showed great respect!
