The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.
Luke 1:18-19
As we mark the beginning of the Jubilee Year, we will explore the ways in which this special year can grow our hope and friendship with God. It’s a time to restart, a time for resting with God and a time for worshipping Him!

What Parents & Educators Need to Know about TikTok. This free guide explores the potential online safety risks of TikTok, letting you know how to safeguard children and young people who use the platform.
We hope you find these guides informative and helpful in promoting the positive use of technology to make the online world a better and safer place for us all. Thank you.
Our learning this week…
In RE, we have continued our topic ‘Galilee to Jerusalem.’ This week we have explored the ways in which Jesus told Parables as a meaningful way to explain the Kingdom of God. We have focussed on ‘The Parable of the Sower’, the children enjoyed using some active approaches to understand the story further.
In English, we have been continuing to develop understanding of our new class text ‘Rhythm of the Rain’, We have been researching a range of vocabulary from the text and we have been explaining the effect of description on the reader.
In Maths we have continued to explore multiplication and division. This week we have been dividing 1-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers, including calculations involving remainders.
