MISS KILLICK'S WELCOME
Welcome to our third curriculum-focused newsletter of the academic year, and the first in Religious Education.
Our Christian value this half-term is thankfulness. We have been reflecting on how important it is to be grateful for what we have and how to show our appreciation to others.
In Collective Worship, we have discussed Epiphany and the significance of the Magi visiting Jesus. We then followed the story through to Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist.
Throughout this half-term's R.E. lessons, the children are developing their knowledge and understanding of other faiths. We share the Church of England's belief that the Church must remain present in diverse areas, and engage positively with other faiths so we can all live side by side.
Please do contact me on 01483 273286 should you ever have any questions.
Have a lovely weekend.
Miss Killick; R.E. Lead
