Religious Education

Beginnings –

God is present in every beginning.

Teaching about creating is important as it

concerns the

foundations of human and Christian life, making explicit the response of the Christian faith to the basic question (that people of all times have asked themselves) Where do I come from? Where are we going? What is our origin? Where does everything that exists come from and where is it going?

signs and symbols – Baptism/confirmation. For Christians, signs and symbols speak of God's mysterious presence in the world and in our lives. Special symbols are called 'sacraments' because they put us in touch in a powerful way with life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus and they point to his continued presence among us today.

Preparations – Advent: preparing to celebrate Christmas. God had prepared His people for the coming of His Son, the messiah over many hundreds of years. Advent is a time of preparation to celebrate Jesus' first coming on earth. It also reminds people that he will come again at the end of time.

BOOKS –

the books used in Church.

The scriptures are the treasured word of God for the Jewish and Christian communities. The books used by the Christian community record and hand on its story. The lectionary which is used at Mass contains the scriptures used by the community throughout the year.

THANKSGIVING – Mass, a special time to thank God. The word Eucharist meaning

'thanksgiving'. The Eucharist is another name for the Mass. The parish family gathers to give thanks to God, most of all for the gift of Jesus, his Son.

OPPORTUNITIES – Lent: an opportunity to start a new.

The forty days of Lent is an opportunity for Christians to turn away from what is bad and to seek ways to do good by prayer and by doing

something extra to prepare for the celebration of Jesus' Resurrection at Easter.

Spread the word – Pentecost: a time to spread the Good News. The gift of the Holy Spirit, which is

celebrate at Pentecost, strengthens Christians to share in the mission of the Church by spreading the Good News of the message of love of the risen Christ.

RULES –

Reasons for rules in the Christian family.

For the Christians Christ's rule of love of God and neighbour offers freedom and happiness. The exercise of the conscience enables the Christian to follow God's law and through love to express sorrow for wrong doing. The Sacrament of Reconciliation grants pardon and peace.

TREASURES – God’s treasure; the world.

Christians believe that life is God's gift.

Appreciating that all is a gift leads us to treasure everything in life.

In this unit, the children review photos online,

practise using a digital camera, take photos to fit a

given theme, edit their photos, and then select

their best images to include in a shared portfolio.

We are researchers

The children research a topic – safely, effectively

and efficiently – using a structured approach (mind

mapping). They share their findings with others

through a short multimedia presentation.

In this unit, the pupils will try to work out how

some simple Scratch games work. They also

look at free online or open source games and

share their favourite games with the class.

We are detectives

In this unit, the children are challenged to solve

a mystery by reading, sending and replying to

emails, and by listening to a witness statement.

They use a fact file sheet to create a table and

identify the culprit

In this unit, the children go on a bug hunt,

recording and identifying the small animals they

find. They then organise the data they have

collected, record it using a graphing package, and

interpret the graph to answer questions about the

animals.

We are astronauts

In this unit, the children will build on work from

Unit 1.1 – We are treasure hunters to program a

sprite (such as a spaceship) to move around the

screen. This unit acts as a springboard for

programming in Year 3.

Music

Singing new songs and learning chants – BBC

schools radio

play tuned and

untuned instruments

musically

listen with

concentration and

understanding to a

range of high-quality

live and recorded

music
