Our Class Saint

Saint Thomas More

St Thomas More is the patron saint of adopted children. We celebrate our patron saints feast day on 22nd June.

He is usually shown wearing a gold livery chain and a symbol of his service to the King.

Thomas More was born in London in 1478 and studied to become a lawyer. He was recognised for his great intelligence, impartiality, and wisdom.

While Sir Thomas More didn't necessarily have any miracles associated with his sainthood, His work and actions were always guided by steadfast moral principles.

Feast Day - Friday 24th March. We will celebrate this in school on Wednesday 25th June.

Spring 2

This half term, we will continue to use Secrets of A Sun King by Emma Caroll. We will use this novel, as an inspiration for our own writing in Literacy. We will look at the varied features of writing and use our findings to include in our own writing.
