Autumn 1

Class Saint  

We will introduce our class saint, Saint Valentine  who will help us to better understand the Catholic Social Teaching Principle of Solidarity. He showed courage in standing alongside and supporting others, even when doing so was difficult.

 

RE

The Virtues & Values this half term are ‘Compassionate and Loving’ and the Catholic Social Principle is ‘Stewardship’, both linking beautifully to our Religious Education lessons. This autumn, we will be learning through the overarching branch, ‘Creation and Covenant’, listening to, learning from and reflecting upon the story of Creation.
