During this term we have looked at Christianity and belonging. We have focused on Baptism. We observed a baptism; looking at features of a baptism, words spoken and actions carried out. The children re-enacted a baptism in various roles to ensure they had a secure understanding of what a baptism was, the role of each person and the significance of items e.g. the candle, bible, holy water etc.

_{English - Toys in Space}

_{In English we have been reading the book "Toys in Space" The children have thoroughly loved this book and have been eager to read on. Today we have looked at the importance of a good character description. We conducted an exercise, whereby the teacher gave the children a verbal description of the character "Hoctopize" (The children had not seen an image of this character). From this description the children then created a piece of artwork to represent what they envisaged Hoctopize to look like. As you can see the results were amazing!}
