Welcome to Year 2!
Mrs Slack is our Teacher and Mrs Michaels is our Teaching Assistant.
On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons Mrs McVeigh teaches us.
In RE we will be learning about
The Good News
We will learn that Jesus brought the good news of God’s love and that this changed people’s lives. We will learn that Jesus used his power to help others and reflect on the importance of these events.
We will reflect on how they can bring good news to their family and friends.
At home
You could help your children by:
- highlighting opportunities when they can give thanks to God
- read stories about Jesus helping people, e.g. The feeding of the 5000
- visit www.tere.org/interactive_site/KS1link.htm and complete activities.
Year 2 really enjoyed using drama as part of their RE lesson acting out the story of Moses.
