In RE we learn about saints and topics. We sometimes do challenge / next step questions in RE. It’s important to learn RE in school because we can learn about or religion and about God and Jesus. This helps me make my future decisions. The Monday Message helps us through the week – follow the message Oliwier Y6
RE is the most special book because it’s all about God and Jesus like their life. Once you learn RE you will show it. You need to show your love and care for everyone like One School, One Family - our motto. Everyone cares for each other and we learn amazing things and have fun times and special occasions like Christmas dinners and when it’s someone’s birthday we sing Happy Birthday To You Albie Y3
We were learning about the Last supper – one of Jesus disciples betrayed him and they went to the Mountain of olives and that’s the next bit of the story. I know what the mountain of olives because I did it in Year 1. Everyone goes to sleep except because he was praying Ojas Y2
RE there’s always a question and some words and ideas around it. We had to think about the talents that God has given us. RE tells us that Jesus sacrificed himself for us Jun Y5
We learn about Jesus and he was dead but he came to life - Jesus is alive so we don’t have to be scared
