Good morning Y1!

Today your home learning is going to be a little bit different as we are going to have an online RE day! Usually, we have one RE day each half term in which we study a religion and focus question. Although we can’t be together to enjoy RE day in school this half term, I hope that you enjoy completing RE day at home. So, today there will be no Maths, English, Reading etc, only RE lessons! This will enable you to really sink your teeth into your focus religion and hopefully learn lots of interesting facts.

Remember, learning about different religions and their beliefs is really important as it helps you to understand and therefore have tolerance and respect of other people’s cultures and beliefs.

Y1’s focus religion for this half term is Christianity – specifically looking at the Nativity. Today, you will learn: what the Christmas story is; how Christians celebrate Christmas; why the three wise men shared gifts with baby Jesus and what Christians might do at a church during the Christmas period. Just click the links to the Oak Academy videos to begin! 😊

Have a wonderful day!
