Good Afternoon Year 4!

We just wanted to start by saying a massive ‘well done’ to all of you, for your fantastic efforts this term with the remote learning. It has been great to see how well the children have been supported in their learning at home and we want to say thank you to each of you, as we journey through this difficult time together.

To allow everyone a well earned rest (parents included!) , we won’t be setting any home learning tasks next week during the Half term break. We have attached some optional activities which you may want to share in preparation for the beginning of Lent next week.

NEXT HALF TERM…

The home learning packs for next half term will be delivered to you shortly. We have included the ‘Whiterose’ Maths work book and the ‘Talk for Writing’ unit ‘The Truth about Mountain Ogres’. You will also find an activity pack for our RE topic. Please see the weekly time table on Google Drive for 22.2.21, which will outline when activities should be completed.

Ash Wednesday and Lent…

Lent is a special time in the Church’s calendar that takes place each spring in the run up to Easter. It begins Ash Wednesday, (17th February 2021)

Lent lasts for 40 days and ends the day before Easter Sunday, on Holy Saturday.

It is a solemn time when Christians remember how Jesus spent 40 days and nights alone in the desert, being tempted by the Devil. Jesus used this time to prepare for His work by fasting (going without food) and praying to God. You can read about this in Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13.
