Our wonderful World!

Tue, 8 Sep 2026 13:07:28 GMT

In RE we have been studying 'Our Wonderful World'. We have been discussing the different creation stories from different religions. We drew the Jewish, Muslim and Christian creation story by day in our books, and did some really beautiful work! We found the Hindu creation story particularly interesting and enjoyed re-enacting the story with our friends.

We had some fantastic questions during this lesson, including.... "What is God?", "Is God real?", "What about the Big Bang?".

We have loved teaching RE this term and seeing their curiosity grow!

Make Your Mark!

During our transition days, we made our mark in our new Year 1 classroom! Our inspiration was the wonderful story The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, which follows Vashti, who believes she cannot draw. With a little encouragement, Vashti discovers that sometimes the most important thing is simply to have a go.

We created our own unique, colourful dots, which are now proudly displayed in our classroom. This week, we reread the book in story time and talked about how its message can help us when we face something that feels difficult or unfamiliar.

We thought about resilience, perseverance and having a positive attitude towards challenges. Together, we came up with some special phrases to remind us that we can keep going when things get tricky, including “I can do it,” “We are resilient,” and “I will keep trying.”

We hope these messages will become something we can carry with us throughout Year 1, whether we are learning something new, making a mistake or trying something that feels a little challenging.

We are excited to see all the marks, big and small, that we will make throughout our Year 1 journey!
