Courageous Advocacy

September – December 2024

Following an excellent year in 2023/2024 of our children putting their thoughts and beliefs of how they can be advocates of change into actions we hope this term to support a cause close to our hearts.

Two years ago, our school amazed a local Charity in Spalding, who care for local Service Veterans, by handmaking poppy gifts to be distributed to members of the charity. Eagles will be leading our school Courageous Advocacy supporting local veterans around Remembrance Sunday, linking with their First World War Topic.

RE In Our School

Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2
September – December 2024

Children in Key Stage 1 and 2 will be exploring the Christian Creation story and how this is important to Christians.

All the children will study the bible story from Genesis with Year 5/6 studying how scientists believe the world began and how many Christians believe more than story.

Collective Worship

September – December 2024

Our School Values from September to Christmas are Friendship and Respect
Mr Bellamy is sharing the story of Moses throughout this academic year and will set the scene of the story this term. From the New Testament, Mr Bellamy will share stories related to our values such as the Friendship between Jesus and Peter. We will consider what the first Christmas was really like and the respect Christians have for Mary and Joseph at that time.

Children in KS2 will be planning and preparing Collective Worship during Black History Month. The children will also think about Remembrance Day, Children in Need and other events/times.

Our newest school members in EYFS will all make a trip to All Saints church before we will all visit our church to celebrate our Harvest Festival and this year we will have a Christmas Service in Church during the last week of the Autumn Term.
We will practice our songs ready for our Church Celebrations and Christmas through the term and will all look forward to the Nativity retold by EYFS and KS1 in December.
