Today we talked about God loving us and Jesus’ teaching to love one another.  We made a list of all the people we love in our lives.  Each of the children and staff members in nursery contributed by passing a wooden heart to each other so that we could say who we loved. We then thought about how…

Year 1- RED 

We listened to the story about Jesus blessing the little children. We talked about why we are special to our families, friends and community.

As part of our RE topic ‘Prophecy and Promise’, the children listened to the story of The Annunciation and then worked in pairs to role play it.

Christmas preparation is in full swing in Reception.  We are slowly working our way through costumes for our Nativity play.  Watch out for any lines in book bags this week.
