UKS2 RE

In UKS2, we have started to explore the idea of empathy and understanding other people’s perspectives. The children analysed the book Voices in the Park, which follows four characters all having similar experiences but perceiving them very differently. The book is beautifully illustrated to show each scene through a specific character’s personality. The children came […]

UKS2 RE

Having completed our learning about Hinduism, we designed and made our own board games around the theme of Karma, Samsara and Moksha. We had fun playing each other’s games like Exploding Shivas and Game of Life.

UKS2 RE

After studying Hinduism for the past five weeks, Years 5 and 6 were asked to design their own board games in groups. The games were to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts of Karma (consequences to actions), Samsara (rebirth/reincarnation), and Moksha (enlightenment after breaking free of the cycle).

UKS2 Art and RE

Did Jesus have enemies?

Last week, Years 3 and 4 began exploring the question, ‘Is forgiveness always possible?’ We came up with different scenarios which might require forgiving and discussed how we would feel if we were in the victim’s position, whether we could forgive and how hard it would be. This week we explored whether Jesus had enemies […]

RE Silent Debate

Year 5 & 6 took part in a silent debate which got the children thinking about a range of questions linked to commitment, faith and spirituality. They rotated around the class placing post-it responses based on seven questions including: Which pillar of Islam do you think is most important? If you could add a 6th […]
