Year 2 RE: Symbols of the Holy Spirit
Year 2 have blown us away with their thoughtful depictions of the Holy Spirit. After applying their knowledge of symbolism in bible stories, they created oil pastel art of the 3 symbols of the Holy Spirit: the dove, fire and wind.

Nursery And Pre-School - R.E - The Story Of Baby Moses
This week, our Nursery and Pre-School children have been exploring the biblical story of Moses, focusing on how his mother floated him to safety down the river Nile to be rescued by the Egyptian princess. The lesson began with the children watching an animated retelling of the story to build their foundational understanding of the narrative and its key characters. This visual introduction captured their imagination and prepared them for the hands-on learning that followed. Afterward, the children visited the dedicated R.E. table, which was set up with themed props. They used these storytelling pieces to collaboratively retell the journey of baby Moses, practice sequencing the events, and discuss the story with their peers. Alongside this interactive play, the children accessed the creative craft area to design their own scenes of Moses floating safely down the river. This blended approach successfully encouraged both spiritual reflection and creative expression across the early years classes.

Reception - R.E - Special Places with Lego
Over the last few weeks, the children have been developing their understanding of what makes a place truly special. To bring this learning to life in our recent R.E. lesson, we got out the Lego! The classroom was buzzing with creativity as the children designed and built the places we had been discussing. As they proudly showcased their creations, each child explained in detail exactly why their chosen place held meaning to them. It was incredibly moving to hear them articulate their thoughts, proving just how much their empathy and reflective skills have grown throughout this unit.
Nursery - Re - The Story of Moses
In R.E this week we have listened to the story of baby Moses. To help us gain a stronger understanding of the story, we created our very own paper plate craft activity were the children can see Baby Moses floating down the river in a little basket. The children then were able to use their craft as a prop and their thinking skills to retell the story of baby Moses to their friends.
Year 2 RE: Pentecost
Our Year 2 class brought the story of Pentecost to life today! After learning about the arrival of the Holy Spirit, the children used their creativity to build incredible Lego models representing the wind, the flames, and the disciples sharing their message with the world. Such a fun, hands-on way to explore our RE theme. Fantastic teamwork and imagination, Year 2!

Year 3 - R.E - What Does Prayer Look Like To You?
Our Year 3 class had an incredibly moving RE session this week using LEGO Serious Play kits. We asked the children a big question: "What does prayer look like to you?" The creativity in the room was absolutely inspiring. From quiet spaces of reflection to bridges connecting people together, the children built some truly wonderful pieces. What blew us away even more were the deep, thoughtful conversations that happened around the tables as they explained their models. It is amazing what children can express when they have the right tools to build their ideas.
Nursery/Preschool-R.E-David And Goliath-Role Play
This week in Nursery/Pre-school the children have had an exciting time exploring and acting the story of David and Goliath. The children loved playing different parts of role play such as Goliath the giant, David the young boy, King Saul and Soldiers. The children got straight into character and played their role amazingly.
Year 3 - R.E. - Learning About Mother Teresa
Year 3 have been diving deep into Religious Studies this week, exploring how personal faith has the power to change history. The children have been focusing on the life of Mother Teresa, looking closely at how her deep beliefs transformed her from a young teacher into a globally recognised symbol of compassion. Through their lessons, the pupils investigated how her faith gave her the courage to leave her comfortable life behind to serve the poorest communities in Calcutta. The class had some fantastic discussions about how inner convictions can drive people to make a lasting difference in the world, prompting the children to reflect on their own values and how they can show kindness in their daily lives.
Year 2 - RE - Jesus Heals the Blind Man
This week in RE, Year 2 have been learning the story of Jesus healing the blind man. We explored the miracle of how Jesus restored the man's sight and discussed why this caused a stir with the Pharisees. We talked about how the Pharisees were cross because Jesus had performed the healing on the Sabbath, which was meant to be a strict day of rest. To help us understand the story better, we used blindfolds to experience what it might be like to lose our sense of sight. This helped the children reflect on how the man might have felt before he met Jesus and why the miracle was so life-changing. The children showed wonderful empathy and had some very thoughtful discussions about kindness and following rules.
Nursery / Pre-School - R.E - Palm Sunday, Walking In Jesus' Steps
This week, the children in Nursery and Preschool continued their exploration of the Easter story by focusing on the events of Palm Sunday. To help the children understand the journey Jesus made into Jerusalem, we participated in a sensory barefoot nature walk. The children were encouraged to take off their shoes and socks to experience the different textures of the ground, just as Jesus would have done on his biblical journey. They showed great bravery and curiosity as they stepped over crunchy leaves, prickly sticks, soft grass, and bumpy pebbles. This hands-on sensory experience allowed the children to connect physically with the story, prompting discussions about how the ground felt and how tired Jesus’ feet might have been. As the children navigated the path, we retold the story of Palm Sunday together. We spoke about the crowds cheering and the people laying down palm leaves to make a path. This active retelling while walking helped to solidify the children's knowledge of the sequence of events, making the story feel "real" to them through their own physical actions. It was a wonderful way to combine physical development with a deeper understanding of kindness, journeys, and the significance of the Easter season.
Year 5 RE - How Does Art Show God's Victory at Easter?
Year 5’s RE took an expressive, arty turn this week! We have been deeply engaged in studying a collection of powerful religious paintings, focusing on how artists convey the profound theme of God’s victory at Easter. The children expertly analysed the artwork, discussing how elements like colour, line, light, and shape are intentionally used to depict the emotion and impact of the resurrection. Inspired by our studies, the class then channelled their learning into creating their own stunning abstract art paintings, capturing their interpretation of the Easter victory. The results are truly remarkable and show fantastic depth of thought.

Year 2 RE: The Bread and Wine as Easter Symbols
Year 2 had an amazing RE lesson as we explored the story of The Last Supper. We were delighted to welcome Rev Kev, who listened to us retell the events of Holy Thursday. Together, we shared bread and water, reflecting on the significance of the meal and looking at the story through the eyes of the different disciples. It was an incredible way to showcase our RE knowledge and delve deeper into some big questions!
