Why study religion? We love to explore belief systems, and how people create meaning for themselves. This helps us develop our own views: Know Yourself!

4th Form GCSE RS and Higher RMPS
Getting to know more about Jewish life and worship at Giffnock Shul, Mark's Deli and Glasgow Reform Synagogue - lots of lovely people helped make our day a special one!

Only 3 days to go until our annual synagogue trip and one pupil wants to know if it's okay to cover his head wearing a hat like the ones worn by Jake and Elmo in The Blues Brothers.
Perhaps more yeshivish than he realises.

Oooh!🤗
First look at the LEGO Sagrada Família
It is the largest LEGO set ever made at 12,060 pieces.
Will cost $800.

Studied for a BD at St Andrews in the old days (early 90's), but very proud to see St Mary's College is once again one of the top-ranked divinity departments in the UK.
Adored every minute of my time in St Andrews!
St Andrews is ranked as the top university in Scotland and fourth in the UK in the 2027 Complete University Guide. Our School of Mathematics & Statistics is top in UK, with a further 10 subjects in the top three. 👏

Nothing to do with RS, but can I give a shout-out to ...
The Little Fort Deli in Dunning.
I had a ham salad ciabatta and a strawberry smoothie and they were just delicious. 😋 Please support this small family business if you can!

RS / RMPS Teachers:
With the exceptions of NATRE's Spirited Arts and St Andrews' Ethics Cup - do you know any other national competitions aimed at our subject area?
Thanks!

4th Form are ready for their summer exam.
They're doing a full GCSE paper on Judaism and Ethics, covering 32 possible topics:
(Another 32 topics on Christianity, Peace and Conflict before they are ready to sit the full exam in May 2027!)

Guess which Jewish festival 4th Form are discovering today!

Such sad, sad news.
I remember Scott well from my own school days, when he was captain of the 1st XV, and was thrilled to watch the Hastings brothers help the Scottish team to victory in 1990.
He was inspirational, and so many will miss him.

Do Bibles today remove verses from the word of God?

Last lesson before the first GCSE RS exam and one of my pupils is looking wistfully around the classroom.
She says she can't believe that her GCSE journey is over.
Luckily she'll be back to start Higher RMPS in less than a month!

Yes I will be watching this.
Yes I will be reminded of my days as a philosophy undergrad when not a single woman taught in the philosophy department at Edinburgh University.

Strathallian @Tessadunlop is lobbying Westminster for a GCSE for Romanian speakers.
Romanian is the fastest-growing European language in the UK and yet children who speak this language at home cannot get exam credit for it.
Please help if you can:

12-year olds in 2nd Form are astonished when they realise that the lives of Sir David Attenborough and Mahatma Gandhi overlapped.
And several jaws drop when I tell them that it was David's older brother, Lord Richard Attenborough, who directed the movie 'Gandhi'.
