Getting the gift bags done for y11! Our ambassadors have just finished laminating quote bookmarks and here are the novelty badges! #TeamRE

This is so exciting! We have a team of Oldham teachers working on resources next week too! PowerPoints, planning and supporting events! @oldhamcouncil.bsky.social

I have so many more that I didn’t photograph… can I also recommend @karlduke8.bsky.social to #TeamRE

Following discussions today, it is clear that one of the biggest potential (and current) impacts on RE is trust leads. There are more & more trusts creating this role. Having an individual that knows schools,colleagues & students well AND having subject expertise is key. #TeamRE

What an amazing day at Leeds Trinity ThinkFest! Over 150 GCSE kids spending the afternoon doing philosophy with brilliant lecturers and LTU students! This will have opened up PER as a reality for so many of our kids! Privileged to be a part! @leedstrinity.bsky.social #TeamRE

Biblical literacy matters #TeamRE

@rehubs.bsky.social next free network is July 7th at Leeds Trinity! If the Leeds/Calderdale/Kirklees one today was anything to go by…get that date saved! Brilliant content, superb sessions and a bang up lunch! Star guest Zammeer Hussain delivered a belter on Shia! Love these days!

This programme is AMAZING! It was great to share all about it at our network today! LOVE Zoe!

It’s such a privilege being on the Culham st Gabriel Leadership course with these guys! Brilliant to spend some in person time together! #TeamRE #StrictlyRE

Interesting to see Byzantine wedding crowns and the Chora icon framed as ‘fascinating’ in contrast to Western traditions by Dr Richard Kueh. So familiar from my Orthodox perspective, but great to see them used here. I’ll dig out my resources to share with colleagues. #StrictlyRE #Byzantine #Orthodox

An AMAZING day at #StrictlyRE Finishing it off by marking with my NATRE pen! So much still to digest! Argh!

Love this! We have a display covering religion and food outside catering, and our rooms are opposite…but we have not yet crossed over! INSPIRED!

En route to London to shadow my mentor as part of Culham St Gabriel’s Leadership Course! Just re-read the article for the reading group! Strictly RE this weekend! Seriously- in heaven! #TeamRE

A tad ridiculous maybe…but I am a HUGE LOTR fan. Took a punt on these…and they actually arrived! Tomorrow I shall be in the Rohan shirt! Banging!

I absolutely LOVE that our LAS resources are produced by local teachers, for local teachers. It’s a great way to empower RE professionals while getting some great stuff produced! Working on pathway slides with my assistant today! #TeamRE

Great set of 10 minute videos about religion. Pretty sure that most of #TeamRE will find something new to learn here, let alone their students.

A brill day out in Liverpool with @penninelearning.bsky.social ! Cathedral tour, stickers for our pilgrim passports and some ace nosh! Plus, today’s font of the day…Liverpool Cathedral! It’s a corker! Lift selfie on way up cathedral tower! Ace! #TeamRE

So I’m part of a group called Birds with Threatening Auras on FB. A post claimed that one of the Galapagos Island finches drinks blood. Turns out it’s true. Whole new take on red tooth and claw (Darwin). #TeamRE

Every year we send our y11s a motivational Christmas card. This year it will have a QR code…to the EPR dept. Christmas music video! The bar will be low, but looking forward to giving it a bash!

The issue is that no matter what thinking, teachers/subject leads do for their subject, whole sch systems generally scupper them being as good as they could be Whenever I talk about assessment in RE with people, they don’t want effective assessment. They want RE assessment that fits whole school.

I've already added some of the rich resources from the Woolf Institute into my lessons. This Friday, listen to what is possible when people from the field of research provide informed resources for the classroom FOR FREE. #Interfaith #Culture #Feminism #TeamRE #research

I am shamelessly resharing my blog on why I think it is time for a National Curriculum for RE. #TeamRe rewithmrsmcgee.wordpress.com/2024/11/04/i...

Font of the day! Malton…food capital of Yorkshire! #TeamRE

Bookings for #StrictlyRE 2025 are now open. Seminar details and how to book are on our website. Discounts for NATRE members and early birds. Places will be limited so don’t leave it till the last minute www.natre.org.uk/courses-even... #TeamRE

My son to remember Bible quotes for RE GCSE has cheekily decided to pin them around my kitchen which has made making a morning cup of tea like being in a convent.

Self grab stain glass window stickers!!!!! Getting them for all of my classroom window panels! EPIC! #TeamRE

#TeamRE student a said he was definitely not sawing the desk…the murder weapon suggests otherwise…

Are you #new2RE - as an ECT or teacher with another specialism? Our free webinars begin next Monday with a session on where to find support for teaching RE, suitable for both primary and secondary teachers. More details and how to register can be found here www.natre.org.uk/membership/e... #TeamRE

Well,well,well! Who’d have thought you could get your own Ark on Temu. One heck of a marketing strategy! #TeamRE

Today the font is from St Michael and All Angels attached to Brodsworth Hall in Doncaster. Lovely church. There was a tea party raising money for repairs. #TeamRE

A beautiful font of the day from St Mary’s Stoodley Royal (next to Fountains Abbey). Tennessee marble with the 4 ages of man (from birth to old age- one pic missing) on the side. A truly beautiful church! #Team_Re

ARGHHHHHHH #TeamRe

My church has a youth mentoring approach- every meet we have chosen to include a bookshop. This is the Old Pier bookshop in Morecambe!you can literally get lost in here! @philos-backpack.bsky.social you been here!? #TeamRE

The most recent OFSTED report claimed that #teamRE is struggling with personal knowledge. I would include myself in that. Here is an old blog with my personal reflections on personal knowledge. rewithmrsmcgee.wordpress.com/2021/05/23/s...

I posted recently congratulating teachers of RE about the narrow disadvantage gap for A level RS. Here’s another fun fact: Disadvantaged pupils are twice as likely as their peers to choose to study RS at this level! Here’s the evidence #TeamRE @natre-update.bsky.social

Great to be back working on the @penninelearning.bsky.social Believing and Belonging resources for the new syllabus. It's the first time we have created PowerPoints for every lesson. Follow the link to find the info page! #TeamRE www.penninelearning.com/resources/

Here is a short guide to @bsky.app - written specially for #TeamRE I hope it is useful: tinyurl.com/TeamREonBSS #UKEd #EduSky (Will prob do a v2 at some point, so feedback welcome!)

Apparently this is a thing! #TeamRE font of the day…Binham Priory.

Too often, leaders expect teachers to develop a quality curriculum without really understanding the time that is needed to do it well. There are no quick-fixes and this work cannot be done in a void: clarity of vision and a commitment to professional learning must come from the top. Culture is key.

Figure I'd share this here (although originally on Twitter as well!). My last blog was consolidating some of my ideas around how often, how much, and when we ask pupils to write-- jasmineteaches.wordpress.com/2024/02/10/w... #EduSky

Hey #TeamRE amigos!

The cat of Julian of Norwich! A gift for Mrs W. As the patron saint of cats, an interest has now been sparked. Now to try and get an RE holiday out of it and stay at the Julian shrine…having to get strategic…

I like the Religious Studies Project. I don’t listen to every episode but there are some real gems in there. #TeamRe podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
