RE - Sunshine

Welcome to our Religious Education page.

The Catholic faith is very much part of our day to day routine in Sunshine Class. We pray together first thing in the morning, before lunch and at the end of the day. There is a very special prayer table in our classroom, we use it to help us focus when we are learning about God, worshipping or praying.

     

Spring 1

This term we will be following the story of Jesus from his birth in Bethlehem to his adult life in  Jerusalem. We learn about the visit of the three wise men, about how Jesus came to show his love to each one of us and then we learn about how Jesus loves the little children and the feeding of the 5000. We will also be learning about Catholic Social Teaching and how we are called to help the poor and hungry.

 2025 - A Jubilee Year

In the Catholic Church, a Jubilee or Holy Year is a special year of forgiveness and reconciliation, in which people are invited to come back into right relationship with God, with one another, and with all of creation. A Jubilee Year is celebrated by the Church every 25 years. This has been the case since 1470, when Pope Paul II changed it from every 50 years. A Pope can also proclaim an Extraordinary Jubilee, like the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy which Pope Francis inaugurated in 2015.

Our Welcome Service

On Thursday 26th Assembly we had a special welcome service. Our buddies helped us to lead the service and our parents and carers were invited to come along. We were given a special St Philip Howard badge.

We are learning about creation. God made the world and he was pleased with what he had made. We will learn about how the world was made and how God made each one of us unique and loves each one of us very much. We will go on to learn about the family of the church and how we become part of this family through baptism.

 The children have been learning that we are all part of the family of the church and we are welcomed into that family when we are baptised.
