RE

 

Following on from our Advent focus we will be looking at the wonderful Christmas Story, focusing upon The Holy Family, the visitors to the stable and the best Christmas present of all, Our Lord, Jesus Christ! 

Then we will be thinking about how we can share in the life of Jesus today! 

 

   

  Class Saint - St. Benedict

 

Class Text

We will be exploring our topic ‘Polar Adventures!’and thinking about life in the South, and North Pole. We will be focusing upon the story ‘Lost & Found’ written by Oliver Jeffers along with other popular texts such as ‘The Snow Queen’ and ‘The Snail & The Whale’, a classic written by our class favourite author, Julia Donaldson. 

 

PE

Gymnastics 

We will have our PE lessons on a Wednesday afternoon and we will be learning all sorts of different ways to balance. The children will begin to refine movements into actions showing control, extension and a degree of fluency. 

Please ensure that your correct, labelled PE kit is in school and available at all times.
