Content of the Barnabas RE Day
We look at the Jewish and Christian story of creation in Genesis and think about what this account says about why God made the world. We think about the fun we have in making things and how we are made in the image of God. We wonder at the variety of all created things. We explore the idea of saying 'thank you' for the wonderful world we have been given and we look at ways of caring for it.
At Key Stage 1 a key focus is on God as Father and Creator.
At Key Stage 2 a key focus is on how we are made in the image of God and ways of caring for our world.
