REaction

 

 

REaction days bring RE to life!

REaction offers pupils a lively way of engaging actively with RE.  The cost is just £3 per student.

REaction events are run in partnership with local faith communities and the local Christian team, Label of Love, often with a lively mix of drama, dance and music, plus a measure of social action to give some challenge.  There’s also story, creativity and reflection – something for all styles of learning.  REaction gives opportunity for schools to practice cross-curricular learning, whilst supporting teachers with good practice in RE.  REaction is a happy marriage between core religious education and spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

The day starts at 10:00 and finishes at 14:30; it is aimed at different year groups each term.  Pupils are split into workshop groups and tackle 4 or 5 activities over the course of the day.  REaction begins and ends with plenary sessions that encourage teamwork and respect for others, with fun and games!  Using enquiry, teachers then prepare follow-up activities from our local RE syllabus, once back in school.
