Values and Virtues
In Year 4, we are focusing on being Curious and Active. We are being Curious by asking questions and being engaged by the world. We are Active as we are trying to make the world a better place everyday.
Zacchaeus was eager to see Jesus and climbed a tree and to get a glimpse of Jesus because he was curious about Jesus. He changed his ways after he met Jesus and became an active follower of Christ. We too can be active followers of Christ.
Catholic Social Teaching
Our Catholic Social Teaching is Dignity of the Human Person
In Year 4, we know that everyone is made in the image and likeness of God. God made each one of us, so every life is important and should be protected. Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. We are going to try our best to help others live with respect and dignity.
R.E.
This half term our first unit is Creation and the Story of Abraham to Joseph. In this unit we will learn about some of the stories from the Book of Genesis. They will explore some important images of God found in these stories and consider what it means for human beings to be made in the image and likeness of God. Our next unit is the Old Testament: Moses to David. In the unit we will study stories about Moses and God's relationship with the people of Israel. We will also learn about the life of King David.
