You Will Never Stop Loving Me
The prayers this week take inspiration from last week’s Gospel, the Parable of the Prodigal Son, enabling children to deepen their understanding and experience of God’s unconditional love for them,
Please follow this link below for more information on this week’s Gospel and to share some interesting activities at home.
This week, we welcomed Mrs Holden back after her maternity leave. It was lovely to see her and have her back in class! She will be with Year 4 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
We have been extremely busy with our learning in Year FOUR this week. Here’s what we have been up to…
In English, the children have looked at the features of persuasive letters, next week they will be writing one!
We’ve also continued reading Anglo-Saxon Boy.
In Maths, the children have worked brilliantly all week, using decimals in different ways.
In Music, the children have continued playing their brass instruments.
In RE, the children learned more about Palm Sunday.
In Geography, the children used all their research to evaluate Blackpool.
In PE, the children continued their target game unit, playing some dodgeball.
In Design Technology the children investigated torches before beginning to design their own.

Wellbeing Wednesday
This week, the children sang as a group. Then they learned the next part of the Mental Health Champion Mindset: Connect with Kindness.
We’ve continued to put “I breathe in calm, I breathe out stress” into practice.
At Our Lady's we like to support our parents/carers in Online Safety matters.
Keeping children and young people safe online is one of the biggest challenges facing society today and it is all of our responsibility to ensure that children are educated to make positive, informed choices when they are online.
This month’s online safety guide gives helpful advice about…
What Parents & Educators Need to Know about Instagram. This free guide breaks down the latest risks on Instagram, including AI chatbots, scheduled messaging, and Threads. It offers practical tips for helping children stay safe on the app.
We hope you find these guides informative and helpful in promoting the positive use of technology to make the online world a better and safer place for us all. Thank you.
