7.7.25 Teddy Bear's Picnic

This afternoon we had a wonderful afternoon with Mrs Asquith and the Mini Vinnie's.  They had organised a lovely afternoon of games including a rainbow treasure hunt, obstacle courses, making a bear from crafts and a bear themed story.  We then had a biscuit and a drink with our teddy bears!  Thank you to Mrs Asquith and the Mini Vinnies for organising this for us.

30.6.25 Parish Community

In RE today the children learnt that being a Christian means belonging to a commuity of faith.  We looked at some of the roles that people have within church for example an altar service, people who clean the church, people who serve tea and coffee.  We then had a member of our parish community, Mrs Asquith, come and talk to us about her role in the parish.  The children thought of some interesting questions to ask her and listened really carefully.  Thank you to Mrs Asquith for coming to  talk to us today.

19.3.25 

The Good Samaritan

Today we read the story of the Good Samaritan and acted this out as a class. We talked about how Lent is a time when we grow in love for others.  We can do this by sharing what we have and being kind to one another.  The children then thought of ways in which they could be kind and have made a Lenten promise which is now in our RE area.  The children also played with dolls to show care and love towards them.

11.2.25 Lent is a time to grow in love for others. 

Today in RE we read the story of Jesus going to pray in the desert.  We talked about how Lent is a time where we grow clower to Jesus. We can grow closer to Jesus when we pray.  The children helped to make a special quiet place in the classroom where we could go and talk to Jesus.

Today we explored the story Mama Panya's Pancakes.  We learnt about how Mama Panya shared with others and others shared with her too.  We talked about how Lent is a special time in the church's year where we try to think more of others than ourselves.  We then had a lovely afternoon making and eating pancakes.  We also made pretend pancakes in the mud kitchen, wrote lists of pancake ingredients and cut and stuck toppings onto pretend pancakes.

29.01.25 I know that Jesus takes care of everyone. 

The children watched a video of the story of Jesus feeding the 5000. A little shared his 2 loaves and 5 fishes and Jesus performed a miracle! Together, we made some bread and shared it.

The children have listened to the next part of the Christmas Story - when Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethelem to be counted. We had a look at a map to see how far Nazareth was from Bethelem (11 days to walk!) and created Bethlehem from wooden blocks.

New Topic: Prophecy and Promise

I know that Mary was chosen by God to be Jesus’ mother.

We started our new RE topic by sharing the story of Mary and the Angel. The children listened to the story and learned how Angel Gabriel came to tell Mary that she was going to have a baby boy. He was the Son of God and he must be named Jesus.

The children made angels:

24.10.24 I know we are all invited to be part of God’s family.

The children have had a fantastic RE lesson today - all about Baptism. We watched a video to learn about what happens during a Baptism and then we had a go at re-enacting a Baptism to further their understanding. The children then had chance to explore the resources in the continuous provision. 

16.9.24 I know that God made me

This week, the children have enjoyed listening to the story of creation - focusing on God making people and ensuring that they understand that God made the first man and woman, and us! We talked about how God made us all different and special.
