Free Distance Learning Resource

RE Project Learning Resource – Multi-Faith and Belief Room is a KS2 project children can undertake from home.  After pupils receive an email stating that architects want them to design a multi-faith and belief room for an airport being built in your locality, they will endeavour to plan, research and collate the information.  The resource is flexible and pupil led and contains enough activities and information to keep pupils occupied for the summer term.

The Distance Learning Resource was inspired by this in-school resource.  The learning pack consists of detailed lesson/session plans, suggestions for extending the learning with a clear aim to include the learners in directing, researching and designing their own Multi-Faith and Belief Room.  Click the image for more details.

  • I usually pay the supply cost for two members of staff to take one day off timetable to plan our collective worship for the year. This resource is well planned and clear, saving us time and money. Thank you.

  • Excellent, easy to use resources that has helped build our foundations for collective worship in our school. Excellent links with British values and SMSC.

    Holbrook Primary School, Gosport

  • I think you have written a brilliant resource here, not just because we have a whole week on a theme but also as I believe all the adults in the school can take life thoughts from them too - it has made our collective worship or thought for the day sessions a real time for reflection for all - thank you.

    Catherine Howarth (Head Teacher, Ysgol Lixwm, Flintshire, North Wales)

  • One of the only resources on the market that provides a plan for everyday of the week. This makes planning and sharing plans amongst different teachers so much easier and results in themes being unpacked systematically across a week or half term.

    St Mary's Church of England Primary School, Putney

  • We have used the Talents section this week. The children left the assembly and told their teachers about it – a first for one of my assemblies!!!! Thank you so much.
