Curriculum Implementation
Religion is taught in accordance with RE Curriculum Directory using the Diocesan approved scheme 'Come and See.' Lessons take many different formats, with children's work being produced as written work, comprehension, acts of worship, presentations, drama, music, dance and art.
Children are taught in 4 week 'blocks' throughout the year. In the first week, we listen to the word of God and introduce our new theme. During the next two weeks we explore and reveal and finally, children respond in the last week, often including their own liturgies or acts of worship.
There are nine themes throughout the year and these are:
1. Domestic Church - Family
2. Baptism/Confirmation - Belonging
3. Advent/Christmas - Loving
4. Local Church - Community
5. Eucharist - Relating
6. Lent/Easter - Giving
7. Pentecost - Serving
8. Reconciliation - Inter-relating
9. Universal Church - World
