In class 2 there will always be someone to help when you are stuck, feeling sad or just need a little pick me up. We try our best to persevere and be the best we can be. This allows us to become children of the light.
Our Christian values for this term are humility, trust and service.

To write a story using own ideas with a change of character and machine compared to The Dragon Machine.
On the lead up to it we will work on creating/writing posters, character descriptions, letters, diaries and instructions.
Maths
As mathematicians, the children will learn through concrete experiences moving onto pictorial and abstract methods as their confidence builds.They will also be expected to use their learning to reason about maths and solve problems.
RE
Our question is ‘What made Jesus Special?’.
Whilst discussing this question, we will be thinking about what it means for us and our friendships. We will think about what makes that person special and why we consider them a good friend. We will then think about how Jesus made friends and people might have been his friend. We will look at different parables from the Bible, for example, The Calling of the Disciples, The Stilling of the Storm, Feeding the Five Thousand and Jesus Turns Water into Wine.
We are using and following Questful RE for our planning and resources.
