I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2022 and look forward to our time in school, learning and having fun together.
RE in Year 2
For the first four weeks of spring we will focus on the theme of Books.
Key words for the topic are:
Scripture, lectern, Gospel, Bible, New Testament, Old Testament, genre, thurible, missal, Church, parish family
In particular, discuss the meaning of the words thurible and missal. When you visit church together, see if you can find the church thurible or missal to talk about with your child.
We will be considering the big question Why do we need books?
The children will read Matthew’s gospel (Matthew 3; 13-17) to find out about the Baptism of Jesus.
RE home learning
Let’s enjoy reading the bible: Share stories from the bible with your child. Talk about stories that are particularly important to you. What stories are important to your child? Create a poster about this story that can be shared in class. Concentrate on the presentation of your posters as it would be lovely to make them into our own class book!
Please return your posters by 19.01.22.
