Dear God...
“The ocean is like God and raindrops are the religion. When they fall into the ocean they become one.”

Barnet and Enfield Sacre: Faith Ambassadors in Schools: Encounters & Understandings Our Progress: Our progress March 2016 Barnet Project We began by identifying the primary & secondary schools that would take part in the project. At the beginning of the Autumn Term we met with Hendon School in Barnet & devised a plan to train their secondary students to go into their primary schools to talk about their religion. At the school the young people from Sunni Islam, Hinduism, Catholicism & Alevism volunteered to join the project. They were all year 8 students with one student from year 9. The Head of the RE Department Amy Murtaugh supported the young people in their research. They made their first presentations to their teacher & peers & they had tried to put into their work everything they knew about their religion. Ms Murtaugh then discussed the need for the presentations to be more child friendly so that there was less text, more visual material & a more interactive approach. I then went into see the next presentation & suggested some more changes. The students then went into their local primary school & made their presentations to a year 6 class. The parallel project in Enfield has linked Winchmore Secondary School with firs Farm & Highfield primary schools. The presentations cover: Islam; Christianity & Hinduism. |
