About this Topic

Our new Philosophy and Religion Ray is called Fabulous Philosophy. The word ‘fabulous’ comes from the Latin word ‘fabula’, which means ‘story’. We shall be using picture books to inspire our philosophy sessions. Each book poses questions that seem at first straightforward but are actually quite tricky to answer.

Program

How to use this resource

There are 5 Rays, which provide a programme for one year’s sessions for a children’s group running during term-time. For each Ray, there is a set of topics, each of which comprises a theme for a term or half-term.

The sessions are presented in a pick-and-mix way - some information, some games, crafts, videos, etc. You are encouraged to adapt the material to your own setting , the time you have available and the resources you have. Don’t think that you have to do everything on offer.
