St Augustine's Catholic Primary School

Class Saint: St Francis of Assisi 

RE and Catholic Life: 

As a Catholic School, RE and Catholic living is part of our daily practise. We pray three times a day, first thing in the morning when the children come in, before lunch and at the end of the day. Children are also encouraged to write their own prayers which are displayed on our RE table. On a Monday we have our Gospel assembly with our Key Stage, this gives us a chance to reflect on the Gospel. During the Assembly, we take time to listen to the Gospel, answer questions and reflect about what we are going to do this week to show we have listened to the Gospel. After our assembly, we then go through the wondering question and discuss what we will do this week. This is then put on our RE board so the children are able to reflect on their actions each day.  

On a Wednesday morning, we have hymn practise and this gives us a chance to practise hymns that we sing in Mass. On a Thursday, Chaplaincy team come to our class and discuss the Wednesday word with us. This again gives us a chance to listen to the Gospel and then think about a specific word and what it means. The Chaplaincy team also give us different activities to complete. RE is taught for 2 and a half hours each week. Each week, our lessons are cross curricular, we tend to have one creative lesson and one lesson which focuses on writing.  We have prayer and liturgy.
