Religious Education

Year 3 have been learning all about the Liturgy of the Word during their RE lessons. They explored the different parts that make up this important section of the Mass, developing their understanding of how Scripture is shared and celebrated during our worship. The children also discovered that the Church follows a three-year cycle of readings, meaning that different parts of the Bible are explored each year. They then put their Bible skills to the test, using their own Bibles

Year 3 looked at the significance of Sunday as a Holy Day in their RE lessons today. We created short films to explain why Sunday is an important day for Christians and looked at the significance of the word 'Ecclesia' meaning a gathering of people.

Year 3 took time to reflect on their learning throughout their Creation and Covenant topic in RE. The children thought carefully about the many wonderful blessings they see in God’s creation and how we can recognise and appreciate the beauty of the world around us. Using their digital skills, they created their own fantastic films to celebrate these blessings and share their reflections on God’s wonderful world! A lovely way to bring together their RE learning, creativity and

Today, four children from Year 2 took on the special responsibility of planning their own Celebration of the Word, which they will lead for their classmates next week. Their Scripture focus was Jesus’ commandment, “Love one another.” Using the Let’s Pray Together cards, the children worked thoughtfully and collaboratively to plan a meaningful time of prayer and reflection for their class. It was wonderful to see them growing in confidence as they took ownership of their faith

Year 6 had a wonderful and spiritual start to their day as they shared a special Celebration of the Word with their families. They reflected carefully on our theme of Creation and Stewardship, thinking about how important it is to put our faith into action by caring for and protecting the wonderful gifts that God has given us. During their RE lesson, Year 6 continued their learning about Baptism. Working brilliantly in teams, they put their knowledge to the test by creating

Year 1 worked beautifully together in RE to create their very own Creation Litany. Each child wrote their own special section, thinking carefully about the wonderful things God has created. They then brought all of their ideas together to make one whole-class litany, which they shared together in prayer. A lovely way for the children to reflect on the beauty of God’s creation and recognise that should be thankful for our wonderful world.

Today in RE, Year 2 explored Psalm 23 – The Lord is My Shepherd. The children listened to the hymn The Lord’s My Shepherd and reflected on how God guides, protects and cares for us, just as a shepherd cares for their sheep. They then completed the sentence, “Psalm 23 reminds me that God…”, sharing some thoughtful ideas about how God is always with us, looks after us and helps us when we feel worried or afraid. A lovely opportunity for the children to reflect on God’s constant

In RE, Year 2 learned more about the Bible and discovered that it is a collection of different books, divided into two main parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The children enjoyed using the Bible’s contents page to locate different books and identify whether they belonged to the Old or New Testament. They showed great curiosity as they developed their understanding of this special book at the heart of our Catholic faith.

In their RE lesson today, Year 3 examined the Catholic Social Teaching principle of Human Dignity. We understand that all human beings are created in the image and likeness of God from our reading of Genesis and we are important and valued. We looked at ways that we can demonstrate human dignity in our school community.

As part of their RE topic, ‘Creation and Covenant’, Year 5 have been busy creating timelines of the Old Testament covenants they have studied so far. The children included key information and meaningful symbols to represent each covenant, helping them to deepen their understanding of how God’s promises and relationships with His people unfold throughout the Old Testament.

In RE today, Year 2 explored what helps and what harms our relationships with one another. The children thought carefully about how Jesus teaches us to love, forgive and care for others, and reflected on how their own words and actions can help to build loving, respectful relationships.

Today in RE, Year 2 explored the covenant God made with Noah following the flood. They learned that a covenant is a special promise between God and His people, showing His everlasting love and faithfulness. The children discovered how the rainbow is a sign of God’s promise to Noah, reminding us of God’s love and care for all of creation. A wonderful lesson of thoughtful learning and reflection!

Year 5 had a fantastic RE lesson today, exploring the Creation story in Genesis. They enjoyed discussing how the story links to stewardship and our responsibility to care for the world around us, ensuring it is protected for future generations. It was wonderful to hear their thoughtful ideas, insightful discussions and reflections as they considered how we can all play a part in looking after God’s creation.

Year 1 had a wonderful RE lesson thinking about their global neighbours and how we are all connected under the same sky. Inspired by King David’s psalm, the children reflected on how, no matter who we are or where we come from, we all share one sky and one sun. They then created beautiful artwork to represent this idea, celebrating the ways we are connected to people all around the world. What a thoughtful and creative lesson!

In RE this week, Year 5 have been reflecting on how lives are transformed by the Holy Spirit. Each child chose a saint to research, exploring how their life was changed through faith and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The children then portrayed their saint’s journey pictorially in the style of traditional Traidcraft El Salvador crosses, creating some thoughtful and beautiful pieces of artwork.

Reception have loved learning about Pentecost and the Holy Spirit and created some wonderful spiritual artwork inspired by their learning. The children showed fantastic creativity and thoughtful ideas throughout the activity.

In RE, Year 4 have created some beautiful character sketches inspired by Saint Paul They showed great thought and reflection in exploring his life and mission.

Year 4 have produced some simply stunning Easter cards to share with their families. Each one has been created with such care, creativity and thought, making them truly special keepsakes. A beautiful way to celebrate the joy and meaning of Easter!

Tonight, our talented Year 4 and Year 5 pupils gathered at Sacred Heart Church for their Easter performance. They read, sang and acted beautifully, sharing the Easter story and the importance of the sacrifice made, reminding us all how we carry this message in our own lives. Their performance brought the story to life in such a meaningful and memorable way. We are incredibly proud of their confidence, expression and teamwork—what a fantastic performance!

Year 1 made a lovely start on their Easter cards this afternoon, carefully painting their palm leaf crosses. The children showed great care and attention as they created their designs—what a beautiful way to begin their Easter preparations!
