RE
Our focus for this half term is The birth of the church
We will learn that when the apostles received the Holy Spirit they spread the Good News. We will reflect on how we can spread the Good News. We will learn about the early Christian community and understand that the Christian community continues today to live by Baptism, the Eucharist and its mission to love God by loving our neighbour.
