- On days that we have PE (Tuesday) please come into school in your PE kit.
- When you arrive at school, please line up on the yellow footsteps outside the classroom and keep a safe distance from other children.

Values and Virtues: Attentive and discerning
RE
The children will be continuing with our Lent unit. Within this we will be developing our knowledge and understanding of the customs and traditions of major liturgical feasts during this period. We will also be looking at ways that we can ‘love thy neighbour’ in our own community; relating these to key Gospel messages and accounts..
What We'll Build
This term we will be focusing on well-being, using the book What We’ll Build by Oliver Jeffers as our focus. We will be exploring our own emotions through this story by considering characters feelings and relating this to our own lives, thinking about what really makes a ‘house a home’ Finally we will be focusing on significant individuals that have overcome divides and strived to bring peace throughout history.
