KS1Teacher recommended this site during a discussion in the Primary Resources Forums recently. REonline features an extensive database of Internet resources that you can browse by theme or search by keyword. There’s also mini-sites on People of Faith and Places of Worship. Other content includes TV listings, a directory of essential RE contacts & information (such as details of your LEA’s RE advisor) and an RE self-evaluation kit.

This is a really nice collection of pages on Hinduism. The primary school section is very easy to read and contains clear information about all aspects of the religion. There’s also sections containing festival dates (for the next 4 years), Hindu prayers and a comprehensive glossary (with audio pronounciations). It’s brilliant for using in class and would also provide a quick introduction for teachers.
BritKid September 7, 2007

The Britkid website is about race, racism and life as seen through the eyes of nine fictional children. Students can either choose to explore the site by following one of the children or by exploring the town of Britchester. The site covers PSHE, citizenship and religious education objectives. Some of the issues explored include understanding of different religions, racism in sport, prejudice, immigration and harassment. It’s an interesting site that may work best as a whole class focus where you can pick and choose the material on the site and carefully discuss some of the issues involved.

The Spinnaker Trust site has lots of free RE resources on Christianity. There’s three terms worth of assembly ideas, pages of information about different aspects of the Bible and a large selection of stories with a Christian message. Definitely one to dip into every now and then.

This site has lots of resources for religious education in the classroom. The best section has got to be the Key Stage 1 area which includes eight online books about Christianity. There’s also plenty of KS2 resources on the site and more material can be found on the parent site, REonline.
