The information within this leaflet will help you to help your child.
The Curriculum Map shows the main areas of learning that your child will undertake during the forthcoming term.
The creative curriculum focus for this term will be on our local area. Children will describe a place using information they have researched using geographical language; compare places that they have studied using physical and human features; give some reasons for the similarities and differences between places, describe where a place is and use the 8 points of the compass to describe its position.
This topic will include; geography, ICT and design and technology.
 The geography aspect of the topic will include asking children to describe their local area using geographical language and compare and contrast the area historically from how it was years ago to how it is now.
 The ICT aspect will look at asking the children to use the internet to gain up-to-date and historical information on our local area.
The RE curriculum this term will focus on how we are all part of God’s family.
 Children will think about the groups they a part of and how they play a part in these, be it be their household, their peer group or class.
 Children will also learn about the seven sacraments.
 There will be a focus on understanding the different parts of the mass, which will begin to prepare children for the upcoming First Reconciliation and Holy Communion.
School masses will be celebrated on Wednesday mornings and regular Family masses on a Sunday, to which all are welcome.
