Welcome to Term 1, Week 2!

The class has had a fantastic start to the year and are settling into the school’s rules and routines beautifully especially as it is a big step coming from Foundation to Year 1. They have shown exceptional kindness to each other and willingness to learn, and I hope they feel super proud of themselves.

The class will be introduced to the Class Text for this term ‘The Town Mouse & The Country Mouse’ and write a character description based on the story over the next 2 weeks.

RE

This ‘Caring for Others’ unit will teach our class how they can be kind to each other and look after one another. Children will learn about kindness and the importance of caring for others, by exploring the values of different religions. This includes reading stories from different faiths and learning about religious festivals and practices. In the final lesson of the unit, children will begin to explore a story from different perspectives

I hope you have a brilliant week!
