Exploring Belonging and Believing resources and EYFS Opportunities for RE

 

The Belonging and Believing series of books is now published!

If you would like to hear more about the work and how these fresh new resources can be used effectively in the classroom, Gill Vaisey, RE Teacher, Author and Adviser, will be ‘in conversation’ at the Religious Resources Centre on 21st October 2021 at 4.15p.m.  Do feel free to join us – simply book a place here.

These sessions are open to anyone and there is no charge.

Belonging and Believing – Resourcing Primary RE. A Conversation@the RRC with Gill Vaisey, Teacher, Author and Adviser – Thursday 21st October, 4.15p.m. – 5.30p.m.

Belonging and Believing series of books and resources is the culmination of a three year project undertaken by Gill Vaisey working with eight families. In this session, Gill will take us through the content and value of these resources and illustrate how they will help enable young children to engage with the lives of a five/six year old child from eight different religions and worldviews. In line with the Commission on RE’s recommendations, the books focus on the ‘lived experience’ of children, their families and communities, bringing real lives into the classroom. The Belonging and Believing resources aim to inform, inspire, engage and excite children, teachers, and everyone interested in understanding and respecting diversity of religion and worldviews.

EYFS, Key Stage 1 & RE: Making Every Opportunity Count!
A Conversation@theRRC with Gill Vaisey, Teacher, Author and Adviser.
Thursday 18th November, 6.30p.m. – 7.45 p.m.

The EYFS Framework 2021 strengthens the place of religious education through its explicit reference to ‘religious communities’.  In this session, Gill will talk us through her latest guidance document which provides extracts from the EYFS Framework which are most relevant to Religion and Worldviews Education (RE). Her document emphasises the extensive opportunities for providing RE within the new 2021 Framework. It provides a wealth of ideas and references to resources for supporting children in understanding religion and worldviews at the various stages of development according to the 2020 Development Matters guidance.  Whilst primarily referencing Early Years documentation, the ideas and resources can also be used with pupils working at KS1.

 Bookings for this event will be open soon!
