During this first half term key stage 1 have begun to consider this question.
We began looking at the world and spent sometime outside looking at the awesome things that we have. We used the iPads to take pictures of things that we found beautiful or amazing. The song by Louis Armstrong "What a wonderful world" made us think of lots of different things, we then added our own ideas in to the song.
Christians and Jewish people believe that God made the world in 6 days, we learnt a song about what He made on each day. He definitely deserved a rest on day 7! You can listen to the songs by following the links below:

There was a man called Charles Darwin who believed that everything evolves and people have evolved from apes! We found his life very interesting. His dad wanted him to be a doctor like he was, Charles became a doctor and a vicar before he went on to the HMS Beagle to become a naturalist. After we talked about Charles Darwin's life we compared his views to the Christian and Jewish story of creation.
We found out lots of things during this half term, we talked about how Christians thank God and what harvest festivals are for. Christians like to give to God as He gives to them, they do this by helping others. Our federation likes helping others, just as Jesus taught us to, we have helped lots of different charities and enjoy doing this each year.
Jewish people thank God too, we found out about Sukkot by watching this https://www.chabad.org/kids/article_cdo/aid/2385615/jewish/Tap-into-Sukkot.htm
During Sukkot Jewish people make a Sukkah and live in it for 7 days! It reminds them that God protected them for the 40 years that they lived in the desert. They have a lulav which is maede up of different plants and wave this around the Sukkah when they are saying a blessing.
Phew this has been a busy half term in R.E.
