Physical Development
Our PE lessons will take place on Thursdays with Mr Stevens. Children can come in wearing their named PE kits, with all earrings removed on this day.
Forest School
Forest School will be on a Tuesday afternoon. Children can come in to school wearing suitable clothing, with additional WARM, WATERPROOF LAYERS and suitable waterproof gloves too. It would be useful if children can put their own kit on so please practice self-dressing skills where possible.
In Understanding the World we will explore the units:
Spring A:
Habitats, including polar regions, rainforests and deserts.
Spring B:
Woodlands, minibeasts, Spring and Easter
Through learning about these themes we will show curiosity about the world around us. making links to make sense of the world.
We use Oak National Academy to support our learning.
In Religious Education, during the first part of the term we will investigate the learning question: 'Why are some books and stories special?' We will develop an understanding that the Bible is a very special book for Christians and we can read stories about God and Jesus in it.
We will then compare this to the stories in the Qur’an to support our learning that stories can teach things to people. We will learn that Christians believe Jesus told stories to teach important truths to people and these are called Parables. We will become aware that there are other faiths that have lots of stories that teach people, for example Islam.
After half term we will explore the question: 'Why do people put a cross in an Easter garden?' This question will enable us to learn the story of Easter. As we become familiar with the way in which some churches mark the death of Jesus we will learn about the cross being a symbol for Christianity.
As a distinctly Christian school we will become familiar with attending church, sharing daily prayers with confidence and knowing how people celebrate different religious festivals including those from other faiths.
We follow the Staffordshire Locally Agreed Syllabus, alongside Understanding Christianity and the Puddles series of books to enjoy our learning in RE.
