St Christopher is one of the most well-known saints in Christian tradition, often recognised as the patron saint of travellers. His story is one of strength, service, and faith.
According to legend, Christopher was a giant who devoted his life to helping others cross a dangerous river. One day, he carried a small child across the water, only to discover that the child was Jesus Christ. The weight he felt was the weight of the world, symbolising the great responsibility and love that comes with serving others.
Here are our Key texts for Term 1:
In English, in Term 1, we will be working on the text Greenling, by Levi Penfold. We will use drama and role-play to find out more about Greenling's character in preparation for writing our own first person narratives.
In Science, we will be looking at mixtures and separation. Students will be carrying out practical activities to visually see separation of liquids and solids.
In History, we will be learning about the Vikings. Their settlements and how their lives differed to ours.
