RE in the Early Years Foundation Stage lies within the very important areas of Personal, Social and Emotional Development and Understanding the World. Within an enabling curriculum the children will develop a positive sense of themselves and of others and will learn how to develop and form positive and respectful relationships.Within the EYFS the children will begin to understand and respect the differences between individuals and groups within their own immediate community. Children will develop emerging moral and cultural awareness.

The children's participation of The Christmas Posada

The children from the Infant school had the wonderful opportunity to take part in the passing of The Christmas Posada through our Community. The Christmas Posada refers to an 'inn' or 'shelter' in Spanish and it represents the bible story of Mary and Joseph's journey to Bethlehem and their search for a place to stay.

 

The Posada box held knitted dolls of Mary and Joseph and the children got to have a look and talk about the tradition as well as the journey Mary and Joseph made. The Posada came from one of the Bilton Methodist Church's and we passed it onto Woodfield Primary School.
