Section 1 - Curriculum Planning
be cross-curricular, with strong links to Personal, Social and Health
Education (PSHE) and Citizenship.
Some activities to promote learning experiences in RE within the areas of
learning of the Foundation Stage are suggested below. In the case of each
of the four areas to which religious education has a particularly important
contribution to make, an extended and more detailed example of an activity
is given. This and indeed all the activities suggested are indicative only and
are included to exemplify particular ways in which Religious Education-
related activities contribute to the early learning goals.
A
Personal, social and emotional development
RE related experiences and opportunities:
children use some stories from religious traditions as a stimulus to
reflect on their own feelings and experiences and explore them in various
ways
using a story as a stimulus, children reflect on the words and actions of
characters and decide what they would have done in a similar situation.
They learn about the story and its meanings through activity and play
using role-play as a stimulus, children talk about some of the ways that
people show love and concern for others and why this is important
children think about issues of right and wrong and how humans help one
another
Examples
remember and celebrate events from their own experiences eg.
birthdays, Christmas presents, Easter eggs, and explore the ‘special
times’ of other children
recognise family events eg.baptisms, weddings and funerals
learn about children from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds
eg. Jewish Home, Divali, and develop their interest in and awareness of
different religious beliefs
have times of quietness and stillness to encourage reflection and raise
awareness.
reflect, use their imagination and curiosity to develop a sense of awe,
wonder, mystery, joy, peace etc
use religious artefacts and visual images to raise questions and develop
empathy
