K/1

Religious Education - 

This term, K/1 will focus on the topics “Jesus is Our Friend” and “Lent”. Our Religion lessons use a pedagogical approach that is very child-centred, play-based and designed to inspire curiosity, wonder and awe. The teacher introduces the religious topic through the use of concrete materials, dioramas, scripture and tradition. A time of pondering together flows naturally from the presentation. Thought-provoking questions will often be framed in terms of ‘I wonder’. This facilitates an exchange of thoughts and responses, leading to deeper learning. Choice time allows the children to explore the topic in their own way. Often choices are retelling using the play resources, drawing, writing, craft, playdough, and nature appreciation.
