Our Class Saint

St. Micheal the Archangel

The Archangel Saint Michael is one of the best known Angels. He is an Archangel, which is a Chief Angel. He is honoured in the Christian faith for his bravery and devotion to God. The name ‘Michael’ means ‘who is like God’.

After the creation of the heavens and earth, there was a battle in Heaven. Lucifer, the "light-bearer", the "morning star", who was the chief amongst angels, rebelled against God. Because of Lucifer's envy, pride, and desire to sit upon God's throne, he did not want to be subject to God or to serve Him. He took a third of the angels into revolt with him. Michael however, was loyal to God, and declared he would serve God. With the other two-thirds of the angels, he defeated Lucifer and cast him and his supporters out of heaven. Lucifer now became called Satan and those angels who supported him became devils. As a reward for his loyalty, Michael was made the chief angel. Due to this leadership role, the Church named the Archangel a Saint.

St Michael the Archangel’s feast day is celebrated on 29^th September.

Feast Day - We will celebrate this in school on Monday 30th September.

Summer 2

We will have lots of writing opportunities such as a setting description for Mr Wonka’s factory and a non-chronological report all about Florence Nightingale.

R.E.

We will begin this half term by finishing the unit Pentecost. We will look carefully at the fulfilment of Jesus’ prime to send the Holy Spirit.

We will be beginning this half term looking at the units ‘Sharing the life of Jesus’ and ‘Following Jesus today’. Children will understand that they belong to the Church through baptism and know what it truly means to be a part of God’s family and a true follower of Jesus.
