 Christmas (3 weeks). In this unit the children will hear the story of Christmas and will focus upon the birth in the stable and of the shepherd visitors.

 People who help us (4 weeks) father John visit. In this unit the children will be introduced to the role of the priest as a special person in God’s Family who helps people. This unit also has a focus on the church building as an important place within the parish community. The children will also learn about a saint being an important person in God’s Family. In this unit they will also consider the help that Jesus gave to people when they needed it. 

If you would like to, you can bring in photos of you attending church with your families or a photograph of you showing love and care to other people just like Jesus.            The photographs will be displayed on our prayer table.
