R.E
Subject leader - Mrs D Milnes
The agreed syllabus for R.E. is being taught throughout the school and is now in its second year of a two year rolling programme as the new East Riding syllabus has been implemented. Different approaches to the subject are being introduced to encourage the children to reflect on the different religious practices they see, rather than just learning the facts.
Pupils have enjoyed visits from local church leaders as part of the agreed syllabus. The Y6 pupils helped with the making of Christmas cards, putting together and checking of shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. This helped the children look beyond themselves to those in need who need our help.
Our children are working mainly in line with national expectations and are developing an understanding of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. The resources continue to be added to. Our pupils need to have artefacts to aid their understanding of religions other than Christianity because of the limited access they have to other religious cultures in their daily life. The children are encouraged to view the positive aspects of all religious practices and to be able to reflect on their own reactions towards them.
Collective Acts of Worship
Subject Leader - Mrs J Sutherland
We continue to have termly visits from local church leaders in our Collective Acts of Worship. We also welcome other speakers when they are available. The children also take part in Class Assemblies, when they are encouraged to put forward their own thoughts and skills. Celebration Assemblies at the end of the week are a popular weekly event when any achievements by the children are recognised.
