Year 1 have been looking at the Creation story in RE. This week, the children spent some time working in groups to recall the story. Then, they went in to the Garden of Peace where they spent some time reflecting on what they are thankful for in God’s creation. The children blew bubbles, as they…

Reception had a lovely visit to our local church. We learned about Baptism and talked about how baptism welcomes us into God’s family and the Church.

The children then took part in a baptism role play, where they each had a turn at baptising the baby in the font. 
 

This week in RE, we learnt that God made each of us special and unique, and that we have a responsibility to look after ourselves. We discussed how eating healthy foods and practising self care are ways of respecting and caring for God’s creation.

We also learnt how to use a knife safely to cut…

This week in RE, we went outside into the forest to make our very own nature bracelets. We talked about how God created our beautiful world and everything in it. The children enjoyed collecting different pieces of nature for their bracelets and were able to name lots of wonderful things that God…
