Jesus the teacher

In Religious Education children will be exploring the topic 'Jesus the teacher’. This topic will develop children’s understanding of how Jesus was born a Jew, the story of the presentation of Jesus in the Temple and how Jesus came to show us the way to live. Children will learn how Jesus travelled about teaching people parables and to think about why he did this.

Last Week: We thought the Beatitudes which are eight blessings recounted by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew.

This week: We will be continuing with our work on the Beatitudes to create a class display. We will upload a photo of our work soon!

Sermon on the Mount: The Beatitudes

Collective Worship

Each week a pair of children will work together to plan and lead collective worship for the class.

Literacy

We are exploring the story of 'Escape from Pompeii'

We will be exploring the use of the author's vocabulary and how tension and mood has been created. This will help up to use imaginative, exciting vocabulary in our own work.

We will be looking at diary entries and the key features of these text types. Over the next couple of weeks we will be writing our own recount of that memorable day in Pompeii.

We will be creating different sentence structures using coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.
