Year 8 pupils have recently began a unit on 'Religion and the Media' and are looking at various newspaper stories to see whether religion is portrayed in a negative or a positive way. To do this they will need to research what the story is about and the religious teachings surrounding it. Pupils need to complete this survey to let me know their initial thoughts.

Some Year 8 pupils have been creating collages based on their learning of the Muslim belief in life after death. They chose either Jannah (Heaven) or Jahannam (Hell). A Special Mention went to this first fantastic piece in chalks and pastels. Let me know what you think.

Year 7 pupils have been working on their presentations on world wealth. They chose which religion they wanted to focus on and looked at the teachings on money, poverty and charity. They then looked at the differences and similarities between their focus religion and another - because they want to achieve a Level 5! They also chose how to present their findings - either by way of powerpoint, drama, film show, interview, poster, leaflet...Year 8 are learning about Death Rites and Beliefs in Life After Death this term. They have performed some fantastic dramas of the customs and traditions remembered after a Jewish person has died. Now they are looking at Gan Eden and Sheol, the places where some Jewish people believe they may go following death. Here is the powerpoint to remind them of the description of these places as they will be preparing collages for display soon. Watch this space...Download The Jewish Funeral

Year 7 pupils had the opportunity to speak to Christian visitors to the Island this week. The visitors are from all over the UK and have spent the week in Newport as part of 'Hope 2008' and Evangelist Week. They heard how some of Jesus' parables are relevant today and had the opportunity to share their wishes and views. Let me know what you thought and, of course, what you learnt!
All 650 pupils this week have been setting their own targets to progress in R.E. this week. They have been guided by 'pupil speak' level descriptors, the 'levels door' and the 'burger levels'! You needed to be there! Click Here to take survey
