Each class at St. Patrick’s has a class saint that we learn about throughout the year. We talk about our Saint regularly and encourage the children to learn, talk and ask questions about their Saint. Each Saint has a Feast Day, where we celebrate their lives and what they did in order to become a Saint.
In Squirrels, our class saint is Saint Francis of Assisi. St. Francis of Assisi was a Italian friar deacon and preacher. He is most well known as the patron saint of animals. St. Francis of Assisi's feast day is the 4th of October.
Religious Education
At St. Patrick's our day begins and ends with prayer and our mission to be like Jesus is at the forefront of everything we do. We celebrate R.E. in many different ways throughout the year.
Godly Play is an amazing tool to help enhance the spiritual growth of our children at St Patricks. We are very lucky to have a wide range of resources, so that we can deliver Godly Play sessions in class. This year we have heard the Godly Play of our Class saint St Francis of Assisi.

It was lovely to show our parents what we had learnt during our topic afternoon.
In the Summer Term we looked at our local history of Firth Park. We looked at how it has changed over time! We were amazed to notice that the carpet shop used to be a cinema! We also looked at who Mark Firth was and his importance to Firth Park!
