RE EYFS

At Buglawton, children begin to explore the world of religion in terms of special people, books, times, places and objects and by visiting places of worship. They listen to and talk about stories. Our children are introduced to religious words where appropriate and use their senses in exploring religions and beliefs, practices and forms of expression. They reflect on their own feelings and experiences and use their imagination and curiosity to develop their appreciation and wonder of the world in which they live.
