This week, Our Lady’s celebrated the feast of St Peter and St Paul, two important men in Jesus’ adult life. Year 4 considered the fact that both Peter and Paul were two of Jesus’ closest friends and yet they both often made the wrong choice during their time as Jesus’ followers. Peter denied knowing Jesus three times before his crucifixion and Paul, previously Saul, had persecuted followers of Christ.
Therefore, this feast day shows us the power of forgiveness and learning from our mistakes. This also shows us the power of Christ’s love for us, that it will withstand all of the hardships we face.
Year 4 behaved beautifully at Mass, representing the school in a reflective and respectful way.
Year 4’s Learning this week:
English: Year 4 have worked hard continuing to immerse themselves in their class vehicle text The Lost Happy Endings this week and analyse the language, grammar and themes within the text.
Maths: Year 4 have been tackling decimals this week including dividing whole numbers by ten.
RE: Year 4 have been preparing for their St Bede’s RE day on Monday by thinking about Laudato Si’ (caring for our common home). We interpreted this message in different ways thinking about our planet and more specifically our own individual communities and families. We then wrote prayers all around the theme of our families.
