This week we have been reminding ourselves about Vowels (long and short)
Sing the song to remember all the vowel sounds.
Can you read the words with long vowel sounds?
This week for working so hard together as a team we earned our class treat. We voted to decide what we wanted to do and chose the KS2 Slides!
Class Mission Statement
We have already thought about what makes us a super class and what we want to achieve this year together. Have a look at our mission statement below:
This week we all worked together to play the song 1,2,3,4,5 on the glockenspiels. I think you'll agree we sound fantastic!
God’s Great Plan
This unit is designed to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of God’s beautiful world. It also helps the children appreciate that God created them because he loves them and that each person should thank God for the gifts of creation and help God look after the world. The children will:
- Be aware of the beauty of God’s world.
- Hear about the story of Creation from Genesis.
- Know that God made us because He loves us but the first people, Adam and Eve, made some wrong choices.
- Be aware that we have a responsibility to look after God’s world.
- Hear the story of Noah and the Flood.
Key Words: creation, God, Bible, love, choices, Noah, flood, ark, rainbow, promise
