Year 6: RE- Advent
This week in RE Year 6 have continued to understand Advent from a Christian perspective. We looked at the importance of Mary, and studied historic artwork of her, analysing the iconography which has been used, and thinking about what these symbols represent. L.O: To understand the importance of Mary.
Year 4 R.E. Christingle
Year 4 had Rev Kev visit them to talk about Christingle, as part of our R.E. curriculum. After learning about the symbolism of the Christingle, Year 4 were honoured to be of assistance and help make 70 Christingles for the Church, which were used in service this past Sunday. We were also lucky enough to make one for ourselves!
Year 1 RE Retelling the Nativity Story
The children in Y1 worked together to retell the Nativity story, using picture prompts to help them remember each part. They took turns speaking to the class, explaining what was happening and listening carefully to one another. We’ve been thinking about what Christmas means to Christians, and this activity gave the children time to slow down and reflect on the story behind it. There were some thoughtful comments, growing confidence and lots of pride in sharing their ideas. Moments like this are a reminder of how powerful storytelling can be, especially when children feel safe and supported to have a go. A lovely, calm way to bring the Nativity to life in Year 1
Year 6: R.E. - Advent
This week year 6 have learnt about who John the Baptist was, and his role in the life of Jesus. We worked collaboratively to bring ideas together. L.O: To understand the role of John the Baptist.
Year 4 RE
Year 4 have enjoyed decorating their angels for a whole-school piece of artwork, to be used by Church. We cannot wait to see what the completed piece will look like!
Year 6: R.E. - Advent
This week Year 6 have started our advent unit of work. We looked at the significance of the advent period for the Christian faith, and learnt about what each element of an advent wreath represents.
Year 5 RE - Sorting Details from the Nativity Story into the Correct Gospel
This week, Year 5 started a fascinating RE unit on the Nativity. Our goal is to become Bible detectives, meticulously studying the Gospels of Luke and Matthew to pinpoint the origins of the story's famous scenes. Students were amazed by the fact that certain traditional details, such as the donkey and the stable, are absent from the biblical text! We reinforced this learning with a fun, hands-on activity, sorting pictures of the Nativity story according to whether the scene is described by Matthew or by Luke.
Reception - RE - Special Times
In RE this week, Reception have been learning about special places. We looked at Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 (The Scroll) and talked about what makes certain places special to us. The children then created their own beautiful scrolls — a lovely reminder that every moment has its own meaning and time.
Year 2 - RE - The Torah
In RE, we explored the Torah scrolls, the holiest Jewish religious text. We learned that the Torah is handwritten and contains the Ten Commandments from the word of God. Because the scroll cannot be touched directly, readers use a special pointer called a Yad to follow the text.
Nursery - R.E - Diwali Celebrations
Today, the children were introduced to a new cultural and religious celebration: Diwali, the Festival of Lights. We began by exploring the concept of celebrating good over bad and the spreading of light in the world. To enhance their understanding of this vibrant celebration, we looked at several inspirational images. The children then engaged in two wonderful, hands-on activities: in the water tray, they explored colour and pattern, mirroring the beautiful Rangoli designs by carefully using pipettes and watered-down paint to create circles of colour. Simultaneously, they accessed the craft area to make festive Diwali lights, using a variation of glittery shapes in many bright colours to decorate their creations. This provided a rich, sensory, and visual introduction to a new religious and cultural tradition.

Year 1: Independent Challenges
Year 1 have been working extremely hard this week in independent challenges. We have been building Sukkahs using lego, practicing our number formation, writing silly sentences, working on greater than, less than and equal to and putting our phonics skills to the test in our phonics matching game!
Year 3 - R.E. - Called By God
Year 3 explored the powerful Bible story of Moses. We focused on the moment Moses was called by God at the Burning Bush and what God asked him to do. The children learned that God commanded Moses to return to Egypt and lead the Israelite slaves to freedom.
