    We listened to a Bible story about Jesus healing a blind man. We discussed other stories from the Bible about Jesus and thought about why Jesus is special to Christians. We then thought about people who are special to us and how they make us feel. We drew pictures and talked about times when our family have made us feel happy, but that it is ok to feel sad sometimes.

    We visited St Nicholas church and Father John showed us around. We looked at all the different altars in the church and noticed the stain glass windows. We looked at the font and the pictures and statues.

    We watched the CBeebies poppy animation and learned what Remembrance Day is and why we wear poppies. We discovered that we buy poppies to raise money for soldiers and their families, and we wear poppies to remind us how brave soldiers are to keep us safe.
