What is the purpose of Religious Education?

• For all children Religious Education is a proper
  subject in its own right in the schools
  curriculum. It is a rigorous academic
  discipline, and as such it is to be taught,
  developed and resourced with the same commitment
  as any other subject.
• For those already engaged in the journey of
  faith Religious Education will be catechesis, and
  for some children Religious Education will be
  evangelisation, the first opportunity to hear the
  good news of the gospel.
• (RE Curriculum Directory 1996)

Religious Education in the Catholic School
Bishops Conference - January 2000

• Religious education is about engaging with the
  deepest questions of life and finding reasons for
  the hope which is within them (1 Peter 315)
• It is about the Christian vision of the person
• It is the core subject which is central to the
  life of the Catholic school.
• Religious Education is the systematic study of
  the mystery of God, as discovered through the
  Bible and particularly through the life and
  teachings of Jesus Christ,
• the teachings of the Church
• the lives of the saints
• the relationship between faith and life.

6
Expectations of Religious Education as defined by
Bishops Conference

• Religious Education requires
• 10 of the length of the taught week for each Key
  Stage
• the unequivocal support of the management of
  every Catholic school
• marked progression through the different stages
  of education
• analysis, reflection and critical appreciation of
  sources
• the encouragement of investigation and reflection
• development of appropriate skills and attitudes
  which allows for a free, informed response to
  Gods call in everyday life
• the use of skills in other areas of the curriculum

7
Expectations of Religious Education as defined by
Bishops Conference

• Excellence in Religious Education is
  characterised by
• clarity of succinct religious learning objectives
• key content
• appropriate methodology
• rigour
• richness of resources
• achievement of identified outcomes
• accurate methods of assessment

8
Outcome of Religious Education

• Religiously literate young people who have the
  knowledge, understanding and skills appropriate
  to their age and capacity to think spiritually,
  ethically and theologically, and who are aware of
  the demands of religious commitment in everyday
  life.
• RE Curriculum Directory 1996

9
Developing a new Religious Education SchemeA
review of Here I Am was carried out in 2006.

• Responses included
• sound theology
• insufficient content to meet the 10 requirement
• activities not linked to levels of attainment
  and, in particular, higher levels
• little creativity
• 4 year cycle not ideal

10
Come and See trial

• writing group formed consisting of Diocesan
  Primary RE Advisers
• in September 2009 the first topic of the new
  programme Come and See was distributed to
  diocesan advisers for trialling in their schools
• 8 schools in our diocese took part in the trial
  and returned written feedback
• 614 responses nationally
• the overall response nationally was very positive
  
• feedback was used to inform the writing of the
  rest of Come and See

11
Whats in a name?

• Come and See is an invitation and a promise of
  life for everyone. The invitation is open to all.
• In response to the question Where do you live?,
  Jesus invited the disciples to Come and See.
  They went with Jesus and spent the rest of that
  day with him.
• We recognise that for some children
• already engaged in a journey of faith,
• RE is catechesis and part of their
• formation in the faith.

12

• Those who receive the invitation to Come and
  see may also offer it to others.
• Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well. She
  is so inspired by Jesus that she returns to her
  village as a witness to his love and invites the
  other villagers to Come and see the man who told
  me everything I have ever done. Could he be the
  Messiah? (John 429)
• In the same invitation we remember
• that for some of our children
• RE will be evangelisation, the first
• opportunity to hear the good news.

13
What remains the same as Here I Am?

• based on the documents of Vatican II and
  Catechism of Catholic Church
• the study, across each term, of
• Church
• Christian living
• The Sacraments
• the teaching process 4 week topic
• teachers theological reflection of each topic

14
What is different from Here I Am?

• integrated attainment levels at the start and end
  of topic
• use of driver words in some activities

Teachers notes Yom Kippur is probably the most important holiday of the Jewish year. Many Jews who do not observe any other Jewish custom will refrain from work, fast and/or attend synagogue  services on this day. The name Yom Kippur means Day of Atonement,. It is a day set aside to atone for the sins of the past year. There are 10 Days of Awe, before Yom Kippur to put thing right with others. On Yom Kippur, the judgment is sealed. This day is the last chance to demonstrate repentance and make amends. Teachers notes Yom Kippur is probably the most important holiday of the Jewish year.

  the website

  week 2

Sacramental Preparation

• In the Autumn term in the year 3 or 4 class it is
  suggested that the first two topics are shortened
  to three weeks.

  Explore. The two week Reconciliation module will
  form the next two weeks of teaching. Teachers
  return to Reveal section of the Come and See
  topic and finish that as usual.
• Eucharist
• The four week Eucharist module will replace the
  Eucharist topic in the Spring term.

Mixed age classes

Closing Prayer

• God has created me to do Him some definite
  service. He has committed some work to me which
  He has not committed to another. I have my
  mission. I am a link in a chain, a bond of
  connection between persons. I shall do good and
  be a preacher of truth in my own place.
• Blessed John Henry Newman
