RE

Easter

In this unit the children study the story of Easter from the perspective of Thomas. The work contained in this unit will require them to think about reasons why Thomas did not believe in the Resurrection of Christ at first and why people today believe that Jesus is risen from the dead. Children will also learn about Easter and the promise of eternal life.

They will be introduced to some associations with Baptism and the celebration of a Christian funeral.

Pentecost

In this unit the children will learn about two stories from the New Testament about the coming of the Holy Spirit. Through their study of the Sacrament of Confirmation they will learn about the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit and how they are important in the lives of Christians.

 

Class Texts

      

 

PE

As we prepare for the summer, the children will be engaging with skills-based sessions in order for them to form collaborative and efficient teams within the summer term for Rounders and Cricket as well as athletic track-based activities in preparation for sports day. P.E. will be delivered on a Monday.

Please make sure that P.E. kits are in school from Monday to Friday so that the children have opportunity to engage in further P.E. sessions, where appropriate.

 

Homework/Expectations

Daily Maths and Literacy set each day

Two pieces of homework (Maths or English as well as one foundation subject) will be handed out on a Thursday and should be completed and handed in on the following Monday. *This may be completed on Teams or within weekly homework books.

Spellings and Times tables will be tested throughout the week. Times table tests will be integral this half term as we prepare for SATS.
