Key Stage 2 Bibles

Children are presented with a Bible when they move in to the juniors (year 3). This Bible will stay with the children as they move classes and they will take it home when they leave St Alban’s.

How will we use the Bibles?
Children will use their Bibles in collective worship, religious education and engage with it weekly in class. In addition to this, the head teacher works with each class to explore some fantastic Bible stories that are not covered in our curriculum.

 

Here is a photo from our last Bible presentation. Huw Thomas, from the Diocese of Sheffield, presented Bibles to our key stage 2 children.
