Our RE (Religious Education) lessons at Nyewood are learning about Christianity and the life and teachings of Jesus through stories from the Bible and learning about other faiths and celebrations, such as Judaism.

The first story we learn from the Bible is about Creation. This clip is useful to demonstrate the idea of God as the creator of everything. Which of these things made them feel happy, amazed, sad or worried. Why? If they had the power to create something, what would that be? Why?
