Religious Education

Religious Education

 

At St James’, we value the Religious Education and Collective Worship above other core subjects.  As a Catholic school, we use at least 10% of our curriculum time on RE from Reception up to Year Six.  This equates to 2 ½ hours per week, per class from Reception upwards and 1 ½ hours in Nursery.   We also conduct Collective Worship in different forms across all classes, including Nursery.  

We are an OUTSTANDING Catholic School

Hinduism day - July 2023

What a lovely day we have had learning all about Hinduism. First, our Pupil Parliament led an assembly. We then worked in our houses and completed different tasks including henna tattoos, making Rakhi bracelets, making Hindu sweets and learning a traditional stick dance. 🕉️

Year 3 Spotlight Assembly on St James

Loving topic - Advent- Expectations

 Year 6 launched their new RE topic by working in groups to discuss the meaning of the word expectations. They thought about expectations others have of them, the expectations they have of others and how we feel when people don’t live up to expectations. They recognised that when others have high expectations of them it helps us them to succeed.

 

Judaism In Year 3

To celebrate the end of our RE topic ‘Vocation and commitment’ Year 6 worked with their buddies to create their own wooden mosaics. The mosaics represent the childrens’ vocations as role models to each other. They used pictures and words to represent their thoughts and feelings. It was lovely to see our oldest and youngest children working as a team.
