I hope this is in the right section. My dd is 5 and in year one. They have been learning about Easter since last week and from what I can gather a teacher who is not their class teacher has been coming in to talk to them.
Last week we were talking about dd's pet hamster who died a while ago and she said 'well Jesus came alive again so maybe George will too.'
This didn't bother me so much, but today she came home and asked if I had been christened, which I have, and then if she had, which she hasn't. She then said 'you'll go to a different place when you're dead then, not with me.'
I understand that at 5 these are big concepts and maybe she has not fully understood what the teacher is saying, but I have to admit that I am not comfortable at all with the way this seems to be being taught. It's not a church school, where I would expect a bit of this.
Would I be overreacting massively to speak to the teacher about this tomorrow? I don't want my dd being told these things as fact, if it's not being made clear that this is what some people believe.
