*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 schoo.

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 2 2026

 We are very excited about the topics we have planned for this term! As we edge into autumn, we are learning all about Diwali, Firework Night, seasonal change and the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy.  Our traditional tales this term are Goldilocks and the Three Bears and the Gingerbread Man, both of which provide wonderful learning opportunities for the children. Towards the end of the term we will be learning about the Nativity, using the Brian Wildsmith version of the story; a beautiful retelling from the viewpoint of the donkey. Reception children will be retelling the Nativity in a Christmas performance where they will sing some Christmas songs, and act out the key events of the Nativity story. 

We continue our daily phonics and maths lessons, building on the fantastic work the children achieved during our Autumn 1 Term.
