R.E in Early Years

In reception, we aim to teach children some fundamental knowledge surrounding Christianity and other religions through inquiry and curiosity. Through-out the year, children will be given open, key questions that will allow them to inquire and learn about different religions, their faiths, and concepts that can be linked to their own experiences. We will use guided sessions to discuss, question and learn new vocabulary and concepts. They will also have vast opportunities to explore and inquire through role-play, experiences and expressive art and design.

Early Learning Goal- ‘Know some similarities and differences between different religious and cultural communities in this country, drawing on their experiences and what has been read in class.’   

What does it mean to be religious?

This term, we will be learning about the different religious groups.

By the end of the term, I will:

• know that belonging to a religious worldview is very important to some people and that some people believe in God.
• know some key words used to describe people who are religious: Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Sikh, Buddhist.
