Alongside the issues of subject knowledge, and wariness of causing issues with local communities, the balance of contact time and the amount of content that is suggested becomes another consideration to consider - is it easier to skip the difficult conversations as we don't have time? #TeamRE

Definitely intrigued on the impact this will have on curricula at KS2 and 3 - how long will it take to teach the contestation (if that is a word) of the narrative, and do it justice - does it become a standalone topic focusing on this (across worldviews?) or part of a focus on Islam? #TeamRE

Managed to read through the article from @pablopedantic.bsky.social today - interesting insights to the variety of narratives and the challenge of teaching these.

Was glad to see many of the texts referenced sit on my classroom bookshelf and shaping our teaching of content #TeamRE

Really interesting question to consider, especially around the variances between faiths - is it a comfort with material that makes it easier to approach through other lenses?
- is there a wariness of offending communities?

The article is straight to the top of the to-read pile

The offers of support and clarity in developing authentic resources was a really positive develop, and will be really exciting in the updates to our KS3 curriculum #TeamRE

There is an interesting separation of what expectations of RE is from outside the education community, particularly from faith communities, and the limitations within the curriculum, but both reports highlight clear gaps in the RE world #TeamRE

Is it the 14th (Monday), or the Tuesday (15th)

I quite like the appropriateness of the misspelling - can definitely describe many teachers as fiends...

Also about the longer summer holiday that most don't need for the original helping with harvest (although it still happens) and the length/placement of exam seasons

Prompts the interesting question of whether the school calendar needs to be separated from the historic Christian holidays to allow more flexibility

There is also the challenge of moveable feasts (Easter, Eid, etc.) and how we plan around those to avoid this situation

Does it depend on the type of photocopying?
Something centrally resourced could be bulk printed by the HoD (or admin support) and distributed to individual teachers.
Individually created resources would be different

This led to a really interesting discussion with our Historians about 2nd order concepts, and how we balance the disciplinary thinking, especially when building a picture of ability/learning
Can all disciplines be accessed successfully at all stages? How can we ensure this, while being authentic?

It feels odd to talk of an 'age' at the moment of creation where time is also created.
Is the part of the challenges around the idea of fully God and fully human - a baby is not omnipotent, and Jesus is fully human so not omnipotent, but the godly side is?
Feels like deep theological thinking
