Our Class Saint

Saint Francis

Feast Day: 4th October

Saint Francis is the patron saint of animals, traders, and the world around us. Francis was born in Assisi, Italy, a very long time ago. His family had a lot of money. One day, Francis got very sick and thought a lot about his life. When he felt better, he went on a special trip to Rome to pray. On the way, he saw many poor people who had no money or food. When Francis came home, he chose to live like a poor man and wore simple clothes. Francis listened to what God told him to do. Francis is remembered because he cared a lot about animals and nature. He called animals his “brothers” and “sisters”. He believed that God made all living things.

R.E

We will begin this half term by focusing on the unit Easter. This unit will develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of the season of Easter as a celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. The children will understand the importance of the Resurrection and its message.

We will then move on to the unit of Pentecost. This will develop the children’s understanding and knowledge of Pentecost as the fulfilment of Jesus’ promise to send the Holy Spirit. The children will learn about the coming of the Holy Spirit as a promised gift that brought about a change in the lives of the disciples and how we celebrate and receive that gift in our lives today.

We will then move onto understanding more about ‘Our Church’. This unit helps the children to understand that the Church is the Family of God and that the church building symbolises the beliefs of the people.
