New Blogs

I have begun using Edublogs to host a new hub of RE blogs. There is a general blog, then specific blogs for each year group. Click on the appropriate links below to visit the new blogs. Obviously all the information and ideas found here will remain!

Our RE "hub" - This is where general information will go. You can also find links to all the other blogs here.

Year 7 RE Blog - For information about the Year 7 course, for good work and a place where you can comment on the work of others.

Year 8 RE Blog - Specifically for Year 8s - there are already a variety of tasks and student comments on this blog.

Year 9 RE Blog - Does what it says on the tin. For Year 9s.

GCSE RS Blog - Year 10s and 11s share a blog, for all things GCSE related, including the mark scheme and links to the specification.

AS RS Blog - For anything to do with the AS course.

A2 RS Blog - For all things A2 related.

Theology and Imagination Blog - This blog is a bit different. I'm sure you all realise that TV, films, books, art etc all gain their inspiration from religious, theological, spiritual, moral and ethical issues! Here's the place to discuss the works of art and media projects to consider what we can learn from them.

I hope that you will find these new blogs easy to use, and that we will get more people taking part in the blogging adventure.
