Religious Education in EYFS

 

 'Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.' 

Joshua 1:9

Within Religious Education in the Early Years Setting we follow the Derbyshire and Derby City Agreed Syllabus

Children are able to encounter religions through special people through books, times, stories and objects. They also listen to and talk about religious stories. During RE lessons children are very inquisitive about the world and different beliefs.

Here are some documents for your information:
