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.

Summer 2

This half term we will be focusing on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Lost and Found and Vlad and the Florence Nightingale adventure.

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.

PE is taught on Thursdays and Fridays, but please ensure your child’s PE kit is in school all week in case this changes for any reason.

For more information on what we will be looking at across the curriculum in Summer 2, please see the information sheet below.
