RE and WorshipSt James, High WychREAt High Wych CE Primary School, where we are an inclusive community, Religious Education (R.E.) is a highly valued academic subject that allows understanding of how religion and beliefs affect our lives and those around the world. At the heart of R.E in church schools is the teaching of Christianity and pupils also learn about other faiths and world views. Our R.E. curriculum follows a combination of the ‘Emmanuel Project’ scheme of work and the Hertfordshire Agreed Syllabus for R.E. Children are taught to develop religious literacy by studying the theological (believing), philosophical (thinking) and social (living) aspects of R.E. They are encouraged to develop resilience in their thinking; to listen, to question and to form balanced and informed conversations as they progress through their learning. It is a time to stop and reflect on the big questions that we face in our world and for the children to develop their sense of awe, curiosity and wonder. Children are given hands on experience of theological and social aspects of R.E. in different world faiths through various trips to places of worship. Incarnation DayEach year, the children study the Christian concept of ‘Incarnation’. The children have produced a superb collection of work. Activities have included studying South African nativity artwork by the artist Azaria Mbatha and learning about the Holy Trinity. Children have studied how Jesus is both Godly and human. They have also reflected on how Christians celebrate Christmas. In Year 6, children have had the opportunity to explore the life of Owen Thomas and how he followed the example of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Take a look at some examples of our work! Salvation Day
