RE
At Blueberry Park, we believe that our Religious Education (RE) curriculum will enable pupils to be thoughtful, respectful, and curious about the diverse beliefs and worldviews that shape our local community and wider world. Through engaging lessons and valued discussion times, children develop a secure understanding of major religions and non‑religious worldviews, exploring how people find meaning, belonging and purpose in their lives.
In EYFS, children develop their knowledge through understanding the world and some RE lessons. Through this lessons, children can explore the similarities and differences between different religious and cultural communities.
In Key Stage 1, children will develop their knowledge of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Humanism. In Christianity, they will learn about what Christians believe about the gifts from the Christmas story, Palm Sunday and the Easter story. In Judaism, they will learn about what Jewish people believe, what Shabbat is and what a synagogue is. In Islam, they will learn about what Muslims believe and about the prophet Muhammad. In Humanism, they will learn about, they will learn about what Humanists believe. This will be done through drama, stories, discussions and age-appropriate lessons.
In Key Stage 2, children will look to extend their knowledge of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Humanism and develop their learning on Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). In Christianity, they will extend their learning of Christmas, Easter, church buildings and ways Christians show commitment. In Judaism, they will extend their learning of sacred stories and how they live their lives. In Islam, they will extend their learning of prayer, pilgrimages and holy texts. In Humanism, they will extend their learning of inspirational people impact Humanists' beliefs. In Sanatana Dharma, they will develop learning of what Hindus believe. This will be done through drama, videos, stories, discussions and age-appropriate lessons.
Progression will be assessed through evaluation of children's work and the 3 strands of Religious Education (skills, knowledge and application).
