Dear Year 4!

We hope you have had a lovely weekend, even though the weather wasn’t very gracious to us!

This week, we are moving on to a new English unit, which will include looking at Zoos around the world and it will ask you to form an opinion for or against Zoos. You will also have a chance to look at activities supporting your mental well being. The themes are: give, get active, connect,take notice and keep learning. Just like last week, we would like you to choose one activity each afternoon to complete.

Please keep in touch and send us photos of your work or things that you have been up to. It was lovely seeing some of these last week! We will put them on for you in this week’s Celebration blog, so keep an eye out!

Morning Prayer
A Prayer in the Time of the Coronavirus

Almighty and All–loving God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
we pray to you through Christ the Healer
for those who suffer from the Coronavirus Covid–19
in Great Britain and across the world.

We pray too for all who reach out to those who mourn the loss
of each and every person who has died as a result of contracting the disease.

Give wisdom to policymakers,
skill to healthcare professionals and researchers,
comfort to everyone in distress
and a sense of calm to us all in these days of uncertainty and distress.

This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
who showed compassion to the outcast,
acceptance to the rejected
and love to those to whom no love was shown.

Amen.

Religion – Remembering St Paul VI our School patron

The 29thMay has been dedicated to remembering St Paul VI, the patron of our school. He became a Saint on 14th October 2018. To launch our R.E. home learning this week, we will focus St Paul VI and his work  spreading the Gospel of Christ; he was a prophet of our Church facing outwards, looking to those far away and caring for the poor.

Morning Prayer

Find a quiet place to sit ….
This is another day, O Lord.

I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be.

If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus.

Amen.

Good Morning Year 4!

We had another bright and sunny day yesterday.  Following Miss Pringle’s activity, we all achieved gold level in star jumps! What a way to start the day. Reading ‘The day Mum finally snapped’ was great fun as we recollected some memories of our own ‘surprises’ 🙂  We hope you liked the book too!

We added some more ideas to our Jar of Hopes and chose a second activity from the wider curriculum blog to complete.

Miss Pringle has also challenged us to a courgette growing competition, which we are completing in class. If you would like to join us in this endeavour from home, you could grow other vegetables in a pot and send us photo updates.

See whose courgette grows bigger!

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Ms Varga and Mrs McNamara

Morning Prayer

Find a quiet place to sit and reflect…

Almighty and merciful Father, who show your love to all your creation.

We come before you asking for a quick control of the Coronavirus currently ravaging our world.

Hear graciously the prayers we make for those affected by the virus in various parts of the world.

Grant healing to the sick, eternal life to the dead and consolation to the bereaved families.

We pray that an effective medicine to combat the sickness be speedily found.

We pray for the relevant governments and health authorities that they take appropriate steps for the good of the people.

Look upon us in your mercy and forgive us our failings.

Amen.
