If you have not already looked at the Ways of knowing Primary toolkit which comes as part of the @NATREupdate mailing now is the time. Khadija Mahir, who is part of the @culhamstgabriel leadership scholarship programme, has reviewed this book.
📚“Exactly the kind of CPD I’ve been waiting for to help move RE forward in my school”

Thanks to everyone at STARME for this opportunity. I am looking forward to sharing my work on a historical approach to Philosophy. I will discuss the impact that it can have on pupil uptake for both Higher RMPS and Higher Philosophy. #philosophy #RMPS – at Renfrew, Scotland
This session introduces a unit of work designed for Senior Phase pupils on the History of Philosophy. Rather than adopting a thematic approach, this unit presents key figures of Western philosophy in chronological order.

Happy April 1st! Today we have three important days in the RME world.
Why do you think April Fools Day and Atheists Day are on the same day? There's an easy starter task for pupils to find out!

RERC colleagues, the Call for Sessions for @TeachersofRME Festival of Learning in May has been published.
It would be great to have representation from the Catholic education sector for this Professional Learning event.

Differentiation doesn't have to mean three different worksheets.
It can just be letting pupils be more active in their learning which allows you to give more targeted support.

I’m guilty of thinking I should include more current events and festivals in my RME lessons, but limited time makes it tough.
I’ve created these Monthly Sheets (Dates, Birthdays, Anniversaries + Tasks) to make it easier for us all.

I love Shabnam’s explanation of what her and her family do at Ramadan- a great short clip to show in the classroom. @NATREupdate @culhamstgabriel @TeachersofRME
🎥 In this video, published as part of our Stories that shape who we are series, Shabnam Khaliq, who is a Muslim, shares the story of how the Qur’an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad and why Ramadan is known as the month of the Qur’an.

Great work from S6 Caritas pupils @St_Rochs who created a green screen video explaining the meaning of Lent. ✝️ A reminder that Lent is a time for prayer 🙏🏼 , fasting 🐟 and almsgiving 💰, helping us grow closer to God as we prepare our hearts for Easter. @rercag @TeachersofRME

Great work from S6 Caritas pupils who created a video with younger pupils to explain the meaning of Ramadan. 🌙 ☪️
A wonderful example of young people promoting understanding & good relations between faiths @St_Rochs #Caritas @TeachersofRME

A historical moment for the Scottish RE curriculum.
More work to be done, but this is definitely a step forward for recognising that RME is an academic subject, just like others on the curriculum.
