Our Class Saint

St Joseph

Joseph was chosen by God as a trustworthy guardian and protector of Mary and Jesus. Joseph was a carpenter he spent his life working very hard. He wanted to provide for his family. As a child, Jesus spent a lot of time with Joseph in his workshop Joseph taught Jesus all about carpentry.

There are no words spoken by Joseph recorded in the bible. However, references made about him in the bible prove he showed a deep faith and great commitment to God.

The feast of Saint Joseph is celebrated on the 19th March every year. The feast of Saint Joseph is celebrated in countries all around the world, including Italy, Malta and Spain.

Feast Day - Saturday 19th March. We will celebrate this in school on Monday 21st March

Class Text

This half term, we shall be exploring another reflective text by author Michael Morpurgo. In exploring the narrative of “Warhorse”, we will begin to look at ways that the author has posited characters into situations, the motives behind these and the broader themes of war and conflict that Morpurgo highlights as both brutal and profound.

R.E.

In RE this half-term, we will first be exploring, in more depth, the themes of Easter. The children will be introduced to accounts of the Resurrection appearances of Christ in the four Gospels. We will then move onto Pentecost. This unit identifies the effects that it had upon the disciples. Finally, we will appreciate “Sharing in the Life”. The focus of this unit will be the Universal Church, established upon the Eucharist as the Sacrament, which celebrates the Church’s Unity.
