The God who speaks through Creation..
Today is the start of our annual Spirituality week and the theme for this year is “The God who speaks.”
To begin our special week we are going to think and remember each other and look forward to when we can all see each other again in school.
We pray for each other today and remind ourselves that God loves us all and we are his unique creation.
God speaking through creation or the natural world means that when we look up at the stars or gaze at the bluebells, we see the fingerprints of God. The more we fix our eyes on the wonder of creation, the more we must conclude that these things could not make themselves.
Read by Liam, one of our Liturgy Leaders
Class Teachers to lead:
Remember your class friends today
“God loves you very much and you are his unique creation. Listen as you hear the names of all your class read out”.

Poem read by Oliwia, one of our Liturgy Leaders
By Sarah Bett Rhodes
God who made the earth,
The air, the sky, the sea
Who gave the light its birth,
Careth for me.
God who made the grass.
The flower, the fruit, the tree,
The day and night to pass.
Careth for me.
God who made the sun,
The moon, the star, is he
Who, when life’s clouds come on,
Careth for me.
Write a prayer entitled ‘God is Glorious’. Here is an example to help you.
God is glorious in the falling of the green oak leaf.
God is Glorious in the rainbow in the evening sky.
God is glorious in the blackbird singing in the spring air.
REFLECTION ON MY DAY

Yesterday, when I was out walking in the woods and could hear the birds tweeting around me, could see the trees reaching high above me and could feel the fresh spring breeze blowing past me, I was reminded of a book I used to love as a child. In today’s lesson, you will hear me reading the story to you as it fits in perfectly with today’s Spirituality Week theme: The God Who Speaks Through Creation.
Listen to the next part of the lesson here. Your task: Choose a person you know and an outdoor place that you associate with that person. Create a representation of that place (eg photo, painting, drawing…). Write a reflection about the person you have chosen and why the place is special to the person. How is the Holy Spirit present to you in this special place? How does this place make you close to your chosen person? |

Good Morning Year 4!
We hope that you have had a wonderful weekend. As always, we love to see what you have been doing.
This week is a very special week. It is our Spirituality week! We have lots of lovely activities for you to do each day, which will make our week a little different and enjoyable. The Year 6 House Captains and Liturgy Leaders have worked hard to assist with this, so we send them a special thank you too.
Our Science experiment progressed very well since Friday. Make sure you see the pictures of our eggs and what happened to them, by looking at the PowerPoint. You can complete your science table in your books when you are ready. Don’t forget to let us know how your experiment went, if you did it yourselves!
It is also Week 5, which means that on Friday it will be half term! So, one more week of hard work, and you can have a whole week of well-deserved rest!
We want you to share your learning with us and tell us what special things you have been doing at home on your own or with your family. Keep posting!
A reminder: you can keep in contact with us by sending an email to: year4@popepaul.herts.sch.uk.
Continue to try your best in doing your learning each day. Remember, read through each activity for today’s learning and keep your handwriting neatly presented as you complete each task.
Let’s see what some of you got up to on Friday:
Space Beeping (1) William G explored the music app – listen to his space composition
Many of you enjoyed listening to Peter and the Wolf. Here is a link to a you tube clip of Peter and the Wolf where you will recognise many of the people on it. Have a LOOK!

Dear Parents and Carers,
This week is Spirituality Week.
Please check the blog daily for the set activities.
Thank you for your continued support and have a great week and half term holiday!
Mrs Theo
__________________________________________________________________
As it is Spirituality Week, it is important that you complete the daily activity on the class blog. In addition to this, I have also planned a few activities around the theme of ‘Space’- an idea suggested by Eloise!
Please watch the following:
Whatever Next! by Jill Murphy
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5wvke7
How to Catch a Star by Oliver Jeffers
Man on the Moon John Lewis Advert
*Remember, you do not need to do everything on this overview- just choose one or two things from each area to do over the week.
Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED)
Communication and Language
Please continue to focus on asking and answering: who? where? why? what? when? questions.
Physical Development
Watch the Apollo 11 takeoff and moon landing on YouTube and try the following:
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
Maths
Moon rock investigation
Collect lots of different sized stones, while you are out and about. Cover them all in tin foil to become ‘moon rocks’.
Parents, as tempting as it is, please try to limit the number of worksheets you give to your child as eventually, it will take the joy out of learning. The children are used to doing maths activities in a very practical way, both in the inside and outside learning environment. Rather than adding up pictures on a piece of paper, they could be adding up two piles of cars, two groups of daisies, goals scored altogether by two people etc. Thank you!
Literacy
Phonics- It is highly important that your child practises their letter sounds and tricky words and applies them through a reading and writing activity daily. Reading will help improve their vocabulary and a child’s academic success depends upon the ability to read and write and so this should be a priority.
Please do the daily Department for Education (DFE) ‘Letters and Sounds’ live phonics lesson.
RE
To show that RE is a special learning time, we always light a candle to mark the beginning of lesson and ask ‘Who is with us when we light the candle?’ and ‘Who do we learn about in our RE lesson?’
We then say the school’s Mission Prayer together.
Please see the daily Spirituality Week blog.
| On Thursday, we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord. Please read the Ascension story from the children’s Bible with your child and talk about what it must have been like for the Apostles to witness this. |
Mass will be live-streamed at 10am at http://olasv.org.uk/
Good morning, Year 5.
