We will then move on to exploring analogue clocks and telling time to the hour and half hour.

 

R.E

 

In this unit pupils will encounter the concept of God through the promises and symbols of baptism. Many Christians believe that the decision to be committed to Christ and be baptised brings salvation. The washing away of sins and beginning a new life in Christ is only possible because of Jesus' death and resurrection.
