Experiential approaches to Hinduism
Description
Inspirational AST and RE specialist Georgina Mulhall believes children learn RE best from enriching experiences, and from being taught by concept rather than by religion . Georgina teaches three lessons exploring the concept of devotion. Year 4s first role-play as archaeologists speculating about Hindu artefacts and then go into role as devotees worshipping in a Hindu temple. Finally they apply the concept of devotion to their own lives. It's fun, inclusive, there's no right or wrong and it encourages higher-order thinking. As RE is culturally sensitive and subjective, Georgina believes it's often side-lined. Here she sums up the values of a creative, concept-driven approach and advises on how to use role-play with confidence.
