RE

Each half-term, we will be focusing on a different topic, each of which are broken down into manageable objectives.  

Each of the objectives are worked through in the following sections: 

Section 1: Hear

This section is the starting point of each lesson and allows learners to form a foundation of learning by reading through the scripture. 

Section 2: Believe

This section details the Catholic belief and teaching related to the scripture.

Section 3: Live

This section has a range of activities that help learners to understand how Catholics should respond to the scripture and belief. Learners are also able to understand how they are invited to live out the scripture in their lives. 

Section 4: Celebrate

This section explores ways in which Catholics respond to the scripture and teaching through their prayer and liturgy. 

What should your child bring to school each day?

• Reading book
• Lunch
• Small pencil case

If your child brings a rucksack, please make sure it is small as our cloakroom space is very limited.

Homework

Reading and Reading Journal

Try to read every day, and regularly with an adult so that you can talk about your reading.

Hand in on Mondays.

Spelling

You will also have a weekly list of High Frequency Words, and National Curriculum words to practise at home.  The list will contain a mixture of words to revise and new words.  Make sure you know the meanings of these words and can use them in sentences.

Learn the spellings in your own chosen style using the spelling strategies and spelling activities suggested on our homework page.  You do not need to hand this work in.  

The best way to learn spellings is little and often.

Spellings will be introduced on Fridays and assessed the following Friday.
