Religious Education at St Thomas'
'Whoever we are, wherever we live, whether we are a person of faith or not, we all have a view on the world.
Nobody stands nowhere.'

Take a look at our learning in R.E.
Year 2 learn about The Bible its importance for Christians. They look at different versions of the Bible. Joy from our church shared her Bible with the class and talked about her favourite parts. They make links with other World Faiths by comparing similarities and differences between the Bible and other religious books.
Reception children discuss why each one of them is special to God within the Christian faith. The children learn about Hinduism - the Diwali Festival of Light and the Holi festival of Colour.
Year 4 learn about why the Church is a special place for Christians and why holy buildings are important to people of faith. They take part in the 'Experience Church' workshops in St Thomas' Church with members of our local church congregation.
Year 4 visit the local synagogue in St Annes. It is a wonderful opportunity to explore the traditions, language and importance of community in Jewish life.
The children identify key parts of the synagogue such as the Ark where the Torah scrolls are kept and the bimah (reading platform). The children learn about Hebrew, the language of Jewish prayer.
Year 5 learn all about how Easter is celebrated all around the World.
They look at different traditions in Mexico, Germany and Greece and compare them with our own traditions. They enjoy making painted eggs and designing Mexican Alfombras.
