The Vine and the Branches
The Teaching of RE at St Alban's School
At St Alban's we follow the The Vine and the Branches (Years 1- 4) and The Way, The Truth and The Life RE Curriculum (Years 5, 6 and EYFS). We ensure that this programme of study is enriched with a variety of activities that include history, geography and art. Giving an historical perspective of the time in which Jesus lived, and the traditions followed, allows us to give the children a greater and deeper understanding of the stories we study in the bible. The children will also examine famous paintings that can give a fresh insight into Jesus's time and teachings. We study maps, for example of Egypt and Israel, to gain a better insight into where these stories took place.
