During RE lessons this term, Year 5 have been exploring the question; ‘Why do some people believe God exists?’

During this unit we have been learning about atheist, agnostic and theist viewpoints, particularly focusing on their beliefs about how the world was formed. To support their learning, the children had the opportunity to explore how science and faith can work together through the God and The Big Bang team from the University of Durham and the Diocese of Manchester.

Some of the fantastic questions the children asked were:

• Is God a natural or mental being?
• How was God created?
• Why is the world so complicated?
• Is there life on other planets?
• What started life and evolution?
• What were we made for?
