*Our Christian Value for the term*

Our Christian Value this term is ‘Respect.’

Our value for this term is Respect. Being respectful is one of the key ingredients to being the best person you can be. “Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves.”

Respect is also one of our school rules (Ready, Respectful and Safe) and is a value we hold dear in school. The children learn to recognise respect in others, while also showing respect themselves.

“Respect other people's feelings. It might mean nothing to you, but it could mean everything to them.”  Roy T. Bennett.

They also learn the importance of showing respect to our belongings and to our environment. The children are developing their understanding of how we can respect our beautiful world and what we can further do as a school.

When it comes to climate change, “be the change you wish to be in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi.

*Our Learning for this term*

Autumn Term 1 - 2026

This term is all about settling the children in, learning the routines, making friends and building relationships with the adults.

The theme is all around the children and getting to know their similarities and differences, their families, pets and friendships. We have lots of lovely stories to explore, like The Family Book, There's Only One You and Monkey Puzzle.

Later this term we will be learning about Harvest Festival and exploring the story The Enormous Turnip. 

We've got so much to look forward to and we can't wait to meet all of the children.
