A Godly play style story for children helping them engage with parables and wonder about this and what it might mean for them.

 

New Collective Worship resource available on the site

This resource was created after a years research by an RE lead on how Collective Worship could be carried out in school in the classroom and led by the children.

The resources were created after conversations with children, they have been tested out in the classroom and developed after feedback from the children.

The pack offers resources which can be used in the classroom during the course of the school year, providing opportunities to support children’s spiritual development. Allowing them to experience and reflect spiritually on three themes; self, others, the world and with an ultimate order of things (for some this may be God).

The Church Schools of Cambridge ran an exhibition looking at Creation w/c 9th March. This delivered part of the RE curriculum on the Christian understanding of creation. Therefore it looked at the fact that Christians believe that God created the world. Alongside this, the children were told that Christians, Jews and Muslims share the belief that the created world is a gift from God. Children were encouraged to explore their own beliefs, several of which talked about dinosaurs and evolution, as well as the importance of looking after the planet.

Children from Park Street Primary School attended. This is what the school had to say about the visit.
