*Our Christian Value for the term*

Our Christian Value this term is ‘Friendship.’

Friendship is such an important value in our society, with children often spending more time with their friends than with family.

Jesus tells stories of the heavenly banquet to which all are invited. The barriers between people are broken down in a loving community around God, and Jesus had stern words to say to those who refused to recognise that all are included in this community of friendship.

True friendship enables each person to grow and ensures that the unique individuality of each person is recognised. All this echoes the value placed by God on the preciousness of each person.

‘A friend loves at all times.’ (Proverbs 17:17)

*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.
