Smithdown School is made up of children who originate from many nationalities, cultures and faith groups. As a school we aim to celebrate this diversity and offer a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our pupils, including new arrivals and non-native English speakers. We believe that Religious Education (RE) provides an opportunity to celebrate and foster awareness of these differences within our school and the wider world. It is a subject that celebrates diversity.
Our Aims
- To help our children develop respect and sensitivity for all people
- To help our children understand faith and moral codes to guide them and develop informed opinions
- To help our children develop an understanding of modern multi-cultural Britain and how this is reflected in their lives and local community
- To help our children understand more about the importance of religion in today’s world.
We loved tasting naan bread for Diwali and lighting one of our Diwa lamps @SmithdownPr #smithdowneyfs #smithdownre
On Friday we had so much chocolate fun making sparklers to celebrate Diwali @SmithdownPr #smithdowneyfs #smithdownre
We loved dressing up in traditional clothing on Friday for inter-faith week ✨ We enjoyed discussing our culture and clothing with our classmates. #smithdownre #smithdownextra
After a busy morning celebrating @InterfaithWeek we read the story of ‘Rama and Sita’, made Diwali decorations and had our own Diwali party #smithdownre
To celebrate @InterfaithWeek we learnt about Islam, Christianity and Judaism. We then used junk modelling to make religious symbols and artefacts for our communal place of worship #smithdownre
Happy Diwali to all our families celebrating this weekend. #smithdownre
