RE - Rainbow

Welcome to our RE page. Please see below what we have been learning about each term. 

 The Catholic faith is very important throughout our daily routine in Rainbow class. We pray together at the start of the day, at lunch time and at the end of the day. We have a special prayer table in our classroom. We use it to help us focus when we are learning about God, worshipping or praying. 

Autumn 1

Our Welcome Service

On Friday 27th September, we had our welcome service. Our Year 5 buddies helped us lead the service and our parents/carers were invited to come too. We were given a special St Philip Howard badge, to welcome us to the school.

We are learning about Creation. God made the world and he was pleased with what He had created. We will learn about how the world was made and how God made each one of us unique and loves each one of us. We will go onto 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. 

 Autumn 2

This term we will be looking towards Christmas. We will learn more about Mary, the angels, the shepherds and the Nativity Story. We have started the term by learning about Diwali and Remembrance.

This term we have been 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 learnt how Jesus loves the little children and the feeding the 5000. We have also learnt about Catholic Social Teaching and how we are called to help the poor and hungry.

 Jubilee Year 2025

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.

This term we will be thinking about Jesus' journey from the desert where he fasted for 40 days and nights, to his death on the cross, and resurrection. We will be learning about Lent and the events of Holy Week. The children will be thinking about how to be kind and ways in which they can show care and respect in the community.
