What I like about RE is that you can see other peoples religions and how much it matters to them and learn about their storys that first started their religion and learn about different gods and how they celabrate the life and death on earth.
RE is good because you can find out about other peoples believes

Thankyou for your comments so far - we are pleased that you like RE and are learning about new beliefs. We are always very impressed with students work in RE at Dixons City Academy. Mr Davies
Re is good because we learn about differnt religions and see how they live and work.And how much it matters to them and learn about their storys.
what i like about r.e is that it is different and you get to see how close people are to their religion and also the pilgrimage destination

i think R.E is very intereasting and we learn a lot of things.
one of the best things in R.E is learning about diffrent cultures.
I think we should do power learning in R.E.
i think it is kinda fun and interesting but I like to do more activities

RE has to be one of the most interesting and enjoyable subjects to learn and understand.
The aspect of the course from Years 7 to Year 9 helps students to learn about the different religions that exist in the world today. The fact that this is covered in the course helps with the multicultural and equal ethos Dixons advocates for.
The aspect of the course for GCSE helps students to learn more in depth on two major world religions (Islam and Christianity). The high level of teaching quality within the department is absolutely magnificant. The GCSE specification is most delightful as it covers a range of topics such as key beliefs and life after death. In terms of the format of the GCSE RE examination, it is really straightforward and easy to follow. I really enjoyed GCSE RE and pre GCSE RE.
Taking RE at A LEVEL has to be the best decision I have ever made. The specification covers such a broad range of topics which are all very interesting to learn and engage in. The AS specification is really straightforward and simple. the A2 specification is harder in some areas, however the philosophy section just builds upon what we learnt in AS.
With the high level of teaching and quality within the department, I am not suprised students every year achieve top grades in RE (GCSE and A Level) as it is a very well tought subject. The resources available in the department are amazing - the new HP laptops/Playdo/Lego/Video Recorders...
Regarding the video, it has made me think about the world we live in. I am asking my self questions like
1)'How can we be sure there is a God?'
2)We cant see God?
3)Where can God be if He is not in our Universe?
I am very intrigued into cosmology and makes me think if religion is the right way to go...
To reiterate, RE at DCA is a well tought subject, thoroughly enjoyable to learn and the knowledge gained is extemely beneficial in the long term.

The thing I like about r.e is the cultural things you can learn about in each religion also how the religions celebrate their religions . Humairaa Haider 7C
I think R.E is amazing because you learn about different cultures and see what differences other cultures have to our cultures. R.E is inspiring and R.E teaches us all what other people do and why they do it

I think R.E is very interesting and i like learning about diffrent cultures. My faveorite thing about R.E is getting to know different beliefs and religions.
One thing the humanities department could improve on is doing some more practical work rather than just sitting and writing.
Can't quite spot any other way to contact on here, however I'm the creator of this video and thanks so much for including it in this post.
The reason I'm posting, however, is to say how fantastic this blog is and I very much admire how you're getting student's involved with RE.
Sincerely,
Clare

I think RE is fun because you get to learn about other peoples religions.
RE is good because it let's you look at things from different points of views. It also let's you think about what other people think.
I like RE because you get to see how other religions celebrate different times of the year. You also get to find out how they celebrate and why.But also fantastic teachers that teach you RE (thats you miss moore!!!!)give you the opportunity to learn in different ways such as tasting the food that they eat, group work,making presentations about certain religions and lots more!!Thanks for giving me all those opportunity's miss!!!

Thanks for these you as always really impress me. A very thoughtful post from the Post 16 student and very much welcomed by the department.
Mr Davies
I enjoy RE because it broadens your mind to other religious and cultural beliefs. The philosophy unit is also very interesting, and I like the fact there is a lot of opportunity for debate and discussion. I think the new AS unit of Islamic ethics will be extremely interesting, particularly learning ethics from the point of view of a specific religion.
