Class Saint

St Francis of Assisi. The Patron Saint of Animals and Ecology. Feast day is 4th October. 

St Francis was a man of wealth and business who had a dream that God told him he had it all wrong. St Francis became a man of God who gave up all his possessions and began to preach. Others joined his simple life. St Francis had a deep relationship with nature - he felt all of God's creation was part of his brotherhood. He wrote the beautiful Canticle of the Sun that expresses this brotherhood with creation. 

St Francis of Assisi, pray for us.

PSHE / RSE

Living in the Wider World: learn about the different local and global communities that they are part of, and what rights and responsibilities come with belonging to these communities. Understand more about the purpose of work and the harmful impact of gender stereotypes in the workplace, alongside an introduction to the concept of vocation. Consolidate learning about what money is and explore the choices we have with our money. All of this is underpinned by the religious understanding that our identity, value and worth comes from God.
