Values and Virtues

In Year 4, we are focusing on being Attentive and Discerning. 

Attentive and Discerning
Pupils are growing to be attentive to their experience and to their vocation; and discerning about the choices they make and the effects of those choices.

Catholic Social Teaching

Our Catholic Social Teaching is Family and Community

God made us to be part of communities, families and countries, so all people can share and help each other. We are called to work for the good of each and of all.

R.E.

This half term our first unit is Lent, Living as followers of Jesus today. In this unit we will explore some of the customs and practices associated with the celebration of the Season of Lent. Through the life and teaching of Christ we will learn about prayer, fasting and alms giving and the forgiveness that God offers to those who believe in him.

Our next unit will be Holy Week. In this unit  we will develop our knowledge and understanding of the story of Christ's passion and death. We will have opportunities to reflect upon circumstances and reasons for his death.
