What do people say?

My best learning experience in RE was when my teacher put out some Jewish objects on a table. There was a Torah scroll, a kippah and a Hanukkiah. He also put out some photo, posters and books. We got a sheet and had to draw an object, so I liked this activity as we had choice and then predict what this object was for in Judaism. After we had predicted we went to find out what the object was and how it was used in Judaism. I also like this topic as we had a visitors come and talk to us about their Jewish faith.

Primary pupil

I like the open questions we think about and get asked. When I listen to others they help me change my views on things. I like acting it’s much easier to learn.

RE helps you to grow in maturity. Seeing the bigger picture helps you to understand things.

Secondary student

RE is about thinking hard as you have to really think about other peoples’ thoughts, and then help them to think even more about it – and that’s not easy!

Year 6 pupil

In RE, there’s always another question to ask!

We had a Skype call to a school in Thailand and they told us all about Buddhism and showed us their Buddha statue.
