Likely to be Sunday 4th January 12pm UK time- as that’s 7pm where I am! Would do a weekday but it would have to be too late for me

Been having so much fun making them for my students and so want to share with #TeamRE as I think the potential is enormous

I’ve thought it’s interesting when pupils write that Jesus died for our sins in exam questions etc - do you think that students should keep their answers religion neutral? Or is it fine to write like that? I do agree that it shouldn’t be taught using that language as I’d see that as confessional

Understanding Sikhism by James Holt is really good and very detailed. Also I used the Collins: KS3 book by Neil McKain which I thought was good - and student friendly

Great to see you on this app!

Try to enjoy it! I always liked the 10 - 15 miles on my training runs. Chance to really get into the countryside too

Like anything - skills need to be rehearsed otherwise they slip the memory. I believe that exposure throughout school would be effective such as learning it early and revisiting through other subject matter.

Lastly - I know others have said it but the REpodcast’s decolonising the curriculum series have been amazing at bringing me into the conversation about Dharmic Traditions and how to best present them especially considering potential challenges of using language - so another recommendation for that

Thirdly, I want to recommend James Holts “Understanding Series”- I have only read the Sikhism one but there’s also Buddhism out and Hinduism is due for release next month. Now these are definitely for depth of subject knowledge but there are great insights for how to bring them alive in classrooms

Secondly, I’ve seen lots of people asking about showing lived experience in the UK but I’ve not seen others recommending the Love, Faith and Me series on bbc player www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... 5 episodes that deal with real issues (lgbt/fertility/dating) from 5 of the major religions (no Buddhism)

Firstly, no better resource for helping me teach Buddhism than the Teaching Buddhism Blog which is a project between Edinburgh/Cambridge blogs.ed.ac.uk/teachingbudd... the two video series they have Introduction/who is the Buddha come with full videos as well as, generously shared PPT with notes!

Brilliant! WW2 museum too! We got cheap flights from Bristol airport. If you do go there’s an awesome dumpling place I would recommend. Steam and fried vegan dumplings blew my mind.
