Absolutely agree and with similar examples from my Jewish SIL and nephew. Lots of conversations with my boys about what they learn about Judaism and how that works for their cousin and aunt (then my brother is atheist but is part of the family celebrations so a whole other messy gap!).

“The UK is entering its first atheist age” is interesting. Also the impact of parental views about religion and how that impacts. Have got the “Explaining Atheism” website up now to add to my ever-growing reading list!

Had the discussion around ‘baptism’ in Sikhi too. Shows the importance of the links to people from different faiths who will spot these lang uses. Important within Christianity too - acutely aware from being from a Catholic background teaching (and leading worship) in a CofE school.

Don’t have adhd, but think similar with open tabs on my phone and then the rabbit hole that can be a conversation with ai…!

Clear message here (with some great recommended reads)…as soon as possible. We teach all children to safeguard themselves for many reasons, safeguarding against racism, hatred and discrimination is as important and empowering for all children.

One of my earliest memories as a 4 year old (contextualised by my mother’s memory) at a mostly White Nursery, was feeling different.

Morning.

As someone who has also switched, I agree. Although had some interesting comments (will I be paid less) when making the move from sec to pri! Went straight to Y1 and loved it and also love EYFS. Curiosity and learning is definitely my driver!

Words cannot express how much you’ll be missed by the RE community in the North East, @karenza.bsky.social@chrisnatre.bsky.social@saimasaleh.bsky.social@mrsgw-re.bsky.social@re-with-mrsb.bsky.social
