6 R.E. WORKING GROUPS PRIMARY R.E. ASSOCIATE ADVISOR REPORT Pembrokeshire Primary SACRE Working Group In the last Annual SACRE report 2013 it was reported that work had begun to produce a comprehensive scheme of work for Key Stage 2. This work was completed during the Summer term All the materials and resources produced have been posted on the Pembrokeshire E-portal and have been well received by schools. There are 4 blocks of work which could be used as straight Yrs 3 6, or in a rolling programme for Juniors or by slight adaption a whole school theme (Bearing in mind that the Yrs 5 & 6 themes have more complex themes than Year 3 & 4). Year 3/4 Year 3/4 Our World/Creation (approx. 18 lessons) Religious Communities (approx 15 lessons) Worship and Celebration (approx.8 lessons) Dress (approx. 8 lessons) Easter Christmas (approx. 5) Year 5/6 Year 5/6 Food (approx 12 lessons) Leaders and Texts (approx 12 lessons) Religious Communities other faiths Pilgrimage (approx 12 lessons) Fast and Festival (approx 12 lessons) Afterlife (approx 10 lessons) Next steps In line with the current focus on the Literacy and Numeracy Framework (L.N.F.) the small focussed group of R.E. enthusiasts consisting of Helen Brandrick, Haverfordwest JM VC (Tasker Milward), Lisa Cook, Saundersfoot (Tenby) and Yvonne Jones, Neyland (STP) have since been further developing these units of work to include rich pieces of literacy to support teachers with their planning. Examples of this work from the topic Pilgrimage were shared with members of Pembrokeshire SACRE on 28th November. This work is ongoing. 7
7 Foundation Phase Yvonne has also been working closely with Sally Abadioru (Foundation Phase Advisory teacher) to develop planning support materials for the Foundation Phase. The aim of this is to ensure that religious education remains an important focus within the Foundation Phase curriculum. Yvonne has also shared some exciting new resources gathered from the Farmington Institute Conference which she attended in June Resources Mary Parry (R.E. Advisor, Carmarthen) kindly donated packs of her R.E. Big Books to Pembrokeshire Schools. These were distributed during the January 2014 Headteachers meeting. Courses / Training Due to the change in CPD there were no R.E. courses ran again at a County Level this year Secondary INSET Resource pressures experienced by secondary schools resulted in difficulty in achieving viable numbers on several of the courses planned during the year and these have been postponed until a later date. Pembrokeshire SACRE Annual Lecture 2013 This article focuses on Islam, however, there will be future opportunities to highlight other belief systems. "Understanding Islam" A meeting entitled Understanding Islam was organised by SACRE (Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education) and took place in County Hall on 4th July Information about the Islamic faith was delivered by members of our Islamic community including the Imam Mr A Wahid, the Mosque Chairman Mr A Mannan and Mr M Hussein, one of Mr Mannan's sons. The aim was to provide an overview about the Islamic faith with an explanation about the Five Pillars of Worship in Islam and Islam's Five pillars of faith. 8
8 The Five Pillars of Worship in Islam In the Islamic faith, Muslims are expected to fulfill five fundamental acts of worship. The Five Pillars of Worship (arkan al-`ibada) are the basic acts involved in being a believing and practicing Muslim, but each Pillar is also a gateway to deeper understanding and greater spirituality as one grows in the Islamic faith. Shahada Salat Zakat Saum Hajj A person becomes a Muslim by making the basic statement of testimony or witness. "I testify that there is no God but God, and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of God." Variations of the shahada are used in many different situations. Salat is a formal, ritualized prayer performed at five specified times each day facing Mecca. Salat consists of a sequence of recitations and bodily positions, including prostration with one's forehead touching the ground. Zakat is an obligatory charitable contribution, theoretically due annually from every Muslim at the rate of 2.5 percent of liquid assets and income-producing property. Zakat supports charitable works and the promotion of Islam. Fast from dawn to dusk each day during the ninth month (Ramadan), Muslims are not supposed to eat, drink, or engage in sexual intercourse. This is a time of spiritual renewal. At least once in his or her life, if physically and financially able, each Muslim makes the pilgrimage to Mecca during the twelfth Muslim month. During the five main days of the hajj, those on the pilgrimage duplicate the ritual first performed by Abraham, including circling the sacred shrine (Ka`ba), standing on the plain of `Arafat, and offering a sacrifice. The Five Pillars of Faith in Islam In Islam, the Five Pillars of Faith provide a brief summary of basic Muslim beliefs. Within this table you will notice similarities between the Islamic faith and the Christian belief systems. Belief in God (Allah) as the only god. Belief in the angels of God, such as Gabriel. Belief in the book of God and in the messengers and prophets who revealed this book. (These are sometimes listed as two separate Pillars, creating Six Pillars of Faith.) The book is an eternal heavenly book that was partly revealed in the Jewish and Christian Bibles and is fully revealed in the Qur'an. God sent his prophets and messengers to reveal his word and to warn people what would happen if they didn't return to the path of God. Muhammad is the final prophet in a series that began with Adam and includes Abraham, Noah, Moses, and Jesus, among others. 9
9 Belief in the Day of Judgment and Resurrection at the end of time, when all will be raised from the dead, judged according to their faith and deeds, and sent to the gardens of paradise or to the fires of hell. Belief that God is responsible for everything that happens, both good and evil, because everything happens according to the will of God. The individual, however, is still responsible for his or her own moral and immoral actions. Further explanation was provided about the 5 life steps in the Islamic faith: Allah created all the souls of the descendants of Adam and Hava (Adam and Eve) who were predestined to come to this earth, Life in the mother's womb, Life in this world, Death, and Resurrection on the judgement day. Other steps sometimes mentioned relate to Heaven and Hell. The meeting was informed that the period of fasting "Ramadan" will begin on 9th July At the time this is published we will be in the early days of Ramadan and some information is provided below will give context to this important part of the Islamic faith. Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. It is a period of prayer, fasting, charity-giving and self-accountability for Muslims in the United Kingdom. The first verses of the Koran (Qu'ran) were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (also written as Mohammad or Muhammed) during the last third of Ramadan, making this an especially holy period. Muslims have been fasting throughout it for more than 14 centuries. It is a reflective time for the Islamic community and charitable donations from the Islamic community during this time are much greater than at any other time. If you would like to investigate this in more detail the following link may help. The meeting allowed time for people to ask questions within this free and relaxed atmosphere. The question was raised about jihad which in the media presents an image of violence, discord and fighting. However, Mr Mannan explained that the original meaning of jihad means much more. 10
10 Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education Muslims use the word Jihad to describe three different kinds of struggle: A believer's internal struggle to live out the Muslim faith as well as possible The struggle to build a good Muslim society Holy war: the struggle to defend Islam, with force if necessary Many modern writers claim that the main meaning of Jihad is the internal spiritual struggle, and this is accepted by many Muslims. However, there are so many references to Jihad as a military struggle in Islamic writings that it is incorrect to claim that the interpretation of Jihad as holy war is wrong. Jihad and the Prophet The internal Jihad is the one that Prophet Muhammad is said to have called the greater Jihad. A further question was raised about the segregation of women in the mosque. explanation offered was that it is to avoid man becoming distracted. The Discussion also looked at why pork is not eaten within the Islamic community. The initial reply was that pork is unclean, however, Mr Mannan did make the statement that should you be "in the desert and starving and the only food available is pork then it would be acceptable to eat this in order to stay alive". The meeting was a great way to raise awareness about the Islamic faith and Mr Mannan extends his invitation to anyone who would be interested in attending Friday prayers.

11 Estyn inspections in Pembrokeshire secondary schools Since September 2010, Estyn-led inspections in schools have been phased in to ensure that schools are more confident about inspection findings. There are three key questions and ten quality indicators that will be judged. These will focus in particular on learner outcomes but also the quality of provision and leadership and management. The main judgements in the report are: l an overall judgement on current performance of the school; and l an overall judgment on the school s prospects for improvement. But there are also judgements on quality indicators i.e. l outcomes the standards achieved by pupils and their wellbeing; l provision learning experiences, teaching, care, support and guidance, and the learning environment; l leadership leadership, improving quality, partnership working and resource management. All judgements are being based on a four-point scale: l Excellent: many strengths, including significant examples of sector-leading practice; l Good: many strengths and no important areas requiring significant improvement; l Adequate: strengths outweigh areas for improvement; and l Unsatisfactory: important areas for improvement outweigh strengths Two secondary schools have been inspected since the previous Annual Report - Tasker Milward School in March 2013 and Ysgol Dewi Sant in May In both schools there were no specific comments on the quality of RE teaching or standards in the subject. The reports state, learning experiences effectively promote learners spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The school promotes effectively the pupils spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The Chairman of SACRE and the local authority have resolved to take steps to encourage greater involvement and interest in RE by secondary schools in the future.
