I love the connection between RS and the wider world.

I love the connection between RS and the wider world.
Having an extra lesson of RE each week would make RE better.
I like RE because if I’m stressed at the start of the lesson I lose my stress in RE because it’s calm and we can share beliefs.
We all enjoy class discussions and questions in RE lessons, and it is useful that someone always finds a ‘but…’ in each discussion.
We love RE. We can express our own views and opinions without fear of being wrong.
Going out to visit places of worship – going to the mosque was fun. Going to visit Westminster Abbey tour was great. We had a workshop that taught us more about Christian beliefs. By going to a place of worship you get the experience of seeing and feeling what it is like. You get professionals to talk to you about the religion, even better than a teacher.
