We have had a really enjoyable week in Year 4. This week in RE children have been learning about St Damien Molokai who showed love like Jesus by reaching out to the margins of society and helping the lepers. We had such refection on how Jesus showed us we need to give extra love to those who need us more. IN HRSE we then learned about how to love others. This echoed the RE lesson and children watched videos on two charities - CAFOD and Emmaus - a charity for the homeless. We got into a great conversation about SOLIDARITY our key value we are focusing on in Year 4. We discussed a number of charities the class thought were important - but the resounding vote is that we would like to reach out to the homeless this year and raise money for a homeless charity.
Children also learned about the Sacrament of the Sick and why people might receive it. We had a lovely worship this week from Dexter, Freddie and Henry S about Peter’s profession of faith.
In other news, children had a lovely time on Wednesday - the full story of Hamlet in the morning and finishing our class novel - The Butterfly Lion. Then in the afternoon we visited St Bedes and watched Oliver- which was exceptional. Enrichment took place on Thursday where children learned sign language with Mrs Hartley.

Parents Day:
It was lovely to talk to you all at this mid point of the year and share your child’s progress. It is a privilege to teach each one of them.
Have a lovely weekend.
