RE Lessons Welcome Trafford Youth for Christ

Wellacre’s Humanities department welcomed Trafford Youth for Christ (TYFC) to Key Stage 3 Religious Education lessons on 15th June.

The Christian Youth and Schools charity returned to Wellacre to visit students in RE lessons again, with specific discussions relevant to each year group’s curriculum focus.

In Year 7, they discussed the existence of God, in Year 8, the life of Jesus and in Year 9, marriage.   Students had the opportunity to get involved in fun and lively activities that encouraged them to question and develop their understanding of what others may believe.

Mrs Irwin, Teacher of RE, said:

"It was great to see students enjoying the session and having fun. I was really impressed by the questions they asked our TYC visitors and how enthusiastic they were.”

Following the lessons, students gave their feedback.

George, Year 7, said:  

“'The lesson was a bit different from normal and made me think.”

Finn, Year 7, added:

''It was good because it was exciting and we did lots of different activities.”

TYFC said on Twitter:

“We had such a great time teaching there, and it was wonderful to be back after such a long time. We hope the students had as much fun as we did, and that they’ve learnt useful things for their studies and life journey too.”
