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.

Autumn Term 2020
Based on our previous REaction workshops delivered in church, we offer Belonging for KS1, Remembering and Justice & Freedom for KS2, delivered in-house, or even online. REaction has a ballpark price of £3 per pupil; large/small numbers of children can be negotiated, to include team travel. Please be in touch if you are interested in discussing dates; the intention will be to deliver REaction in the second half of the term.
We’re working on a very exciting Sanctuary theme with Beverley Minster for the Summer Term, when it’s the 1300th anniversary of St John of Beverley’s death on 7 May 721. It follows our pilot Sanctuary REaction days there in 2018 and will be perfect for upper KS2 and transition…

Hull, as a City of Sanctuary, is an appropriate setting.
