R.E Class 2

Topic 5: Gathering

Topic 4: Celebrating

As part of this topic we are learning the special story of, 'The Presentation Story.' Anna and Simeon were old, holy and wise and spoke of Jesus as, 'The light of the world.' This piece of scripture formed our first class assembly in which we thought about how we can help others like Jesus did and how our lights can shine brightly!

Our First Class Assembly: Let Your Light Shine

Thank you to all family and friends who came along to support Class 2 and 3 at their first Class Assembly. Mrs Wilson tells me the children were fantastic ( I knew they would be) and sent out an important message of letting your light shine in anyway you can...

Topic 3: Birthdays

Throughout this topic the children learnt about Advent being a time of preparation for Christmas. They helped prepare our classroom with decorations and learnt about the Advent Wreath.

In addition to their work on Advent the children learnt all about The First Christmas Story. Each morning we opened our special Advent calendar which consisted of a small book each day, each building up The First Christmas Story - we enjoyed this addition to our morning routine.

We also performed a short Nativity Concert for friends and family at school and then we visited our neighbours at 'Edmund House Care Home' and performed for them also.

Topic 2: Welcome

The children have experienced the best start to the Welcome topic as we went to watch, The Tiger who came to Tea at the theatre. The children watched as Sophie and Mummy welcomed the Tiger into their home and invited him to join them for tea!

The children have enjoyed role-playing this welcome as they pretended to be Mummy, Sophie and the Tiger in the role play area...

After half term the children will be learning how new babies are welcomed into the church family through baptism.

Harvest 2019

Today we enjoyed our Academy Harvest Mass where we celebrated the wonderful fruits and vegetables that grow in God's World. We celebrated before Mass as we made fruit and vegetable puppets and danced and sung along to 'The Harvest Samba.'

After Mass we eagerly waited to see who had won the delicious Fruit and Vegetable hampers that had been donated by our friends an family of St. Bernadette's.

Topic 1: Myself

The children have thoroughly enjoyed our first Come and See topic. The children have taken part in lots of name writing activities, they have drawn pictures of the people who are precious to them and who keep them safe and snug and created a new class prayer using their favourite phrases from the psalms we have learnt.

We ended our first Come and See topic with a  Class Liturgy planned by the children to celebrate all they had learnt throughout the Myself topic.
