St Andrew’s Day

This week we have been learning about St Andrew who is the patron saint of Scotland.  St Andrew was a friend of Jesus.  He died on an X-shaped cross because he thought that Jesus was special and he didn’t want to die in the same way.  St Andrews was named after him because the monk Regulus brought his bones there and built a church over them after an angel told him to in a dream.  Regulus didn’t mean to go to Scotland, but the weather was really stormy on the sea and he washed up on the coast.

In maths we have been learning how to tell the time and we have been practising our times tables using the Times Fables story book.  We have stories to help us to remember – why not ask us about the robin who lands on Tyler’s chair?!
