*Our Christian Value for the term*

Our Christian value for this term is Service in the Community.

Living a life of service is about keeping your eyes open and looking out for ways to make others smile.

Jesus was called the ‘servant king’; his mission was to serve God and to serve all those people he met, through his teaching, his example and the way he led his life.

The Bible teaches us that we should all serve those in need, whoever they are, and ‘go the extra mile’ to put ourselves out for someone else’s benefit.

Who are the unsung heroes who serve us? Who are they at school and at home? How do you serve others?

We look forward to receiving your hand of service, to show how you have demonstrated an understanding of service at home.

“For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people's love and concern for each other.” (Millard Fuller)

*Our Learning for this term*

Spring Term 2 2026

We have so much exciting learning planned for this term, we can't wait! We have our fingers crossed for some sunshine too!

We start off the term learning all about Lunar New Year and the year of the horse. We will be trying some yummy Chinese food and talking about what people who celebrate Lunar New Year do. The children will be able to explore using lines to mark make like in Chinese symbols and create their own dragon dance!

We will continue our pre-writing Squiggle While you Wiggle journey, which the children are loving! squiggle

Lots of our learning this term will be based around stories which feature minibeasts such as 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' (of course a favourite of ours), 'What the Ladybird Heard', 'Bumblebear' and more. We will be learning about the lifecycles of some insects and where they live. We will even get to see the metamorphosis of caterpillars to butterflies!

We finish the term learning all about Easter and joining in with some lovely celebrations.
