RE displays around the school

We have taken another look around school and found lots of new displays in classrooms and corridors from the RE curriculum. There are some bright and colourful displays on festivals and celebrations from Early Years and our KS1 base. There are some lovely displays based on Christian beliefs from Key Stage 1. Then in Key Stage 2 we found some intriguing displays on Sikhism, Islam and rituals and religion.
