Spring 2

This half term, we will be learning ...

Collective Worship

Our values are Respect, Love, Forgiveness, Service, Friendship and Peace. These values underpin our curriculum.

Throughout this half term, we are learning about what each value means and how we can promote each one through our daily actions to make a positive contribution to our school and the wider community. We are reading, listening to and responding to bible stories, which teach Christians about the importance of our values in daily life.

In English, we will be looking at a text called ‘The Lost Happy Endings’ to help us write our own twisted narrative. Within this unit, we will be focussing on how to effectively include new descriptive vocabulary.
