This term we will be blocking our teaching of the Foundation subjects so that we will do several lessons in one subject each week before moving onto another subject. This week we will be focussing on RE. We will look at Jewish lifestyle and celebration focussing on Rosh Hashana (New Year), which falls between 6th and 8th September, and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement.)

This children will continue to learn Spanish each Wednesday with Mrs Grundey. They will also do PE the same morning with Miss S Handley. Children should wear PE kit to school each Wednesday. We will let you know as soon as we can when the children will have their second PE lesson.
