September 2023:

Signs and Symbols

Our first topic is Baptism/Confirmation and our focus will be on different signs and symbols.

We see many different signs and symbols in our lives some help us and some are important to us. They can help us when we are lost and guide us in life.

What signs have you seen that you recognise?

Are all signs and symbols important?

What can they help us with?

Other Faiths-Judaism

During our Advent term, we will also be exploring and finding out about Judaism. We will be focusing on the Jewish Sabbath and Shabbat.

We will be looking at how Jewish families celebrate Shabbat and what they do during the celebration. This will include what they eat, what they say and what actions, prayers or hymns they might use. We will also talk about how is this similar or different to Christian celebrations.
