Year 4 Catholic Life and Mission
Prayer Card
Montana brought in a beautiful prayer card for our class prayer table from when she visited St Winefride's Well in Wales. We love how the prayer incorporates our school mission statement of working, playing and praying together.
Resurrection Rocks
Today, Year 4 performed a very thought-provoking performance to retell the events of Holy Week leading up to Good Friday. They did an amazing job!
Lenten Fundraising
Year 3 and 4 are selling buns this week to help raise money for our Lenten Fundraising.
Station Five
We visited Station Five and reflected on how Simon of Cyrene helped Jesus and how we can help others.
Stations of the Cross
We visited the first four stations and thought about how Jesus felt and what he might have said. We spent a moment with Jesus and God.
Those who are first will be last...
Mason was thinking of others today and said he was doing his Advent promise by putting other people first. Even though he was near the front of the line he stood and waited for his friends to go into class first.
Getting Ready for Advent
Our class Chaplaincy Team Members prepared the altar in our class for the season of Advent and did a great job.
Caring for our world
Lola spent her break picking up litter in the playground and said that she was doing it to keep God's world tidy. Thank you Lola!
Our class assembly
From our lessons about the Bible we noticed that there were lots of parables in St. Luke's Gospel. As it was his feast day on the 18th October we created an assembly to show how important St. Luke was.
Choir
Congratulations to this week's singing superstars! Our singing teacher from the Diocese of Leeds Music Programme was especially impressed with the efforts of these children today.
Looking after God’s world.
The girls asked if they could do some weeding around our stones so that they were clear for everyone to see.
As a class we were talking about the importance of good attendance and how sometimes we may have to come to school when we are not feeling up to it. A lovely comment was made by a child in class, "God gives his toughest challenges to his strongest warriors."
After our Wednesday Worship at break, Mr. Biedka was kindly offered a crisp with the comment, “Have a crisp because our mission was to share food with others and for people in need.”
Some children spent some time in our reflection corner today thinking about the class virtue and the story of Abraham.
Our class virtue is Faith
We learnt lots about our class virtue and created key rings to remind us of it every day.
Monday 10th July - Mission Day
After assembly this morning with Mr Biedka, Year 4 thought about our mission ‘To work, to pray, to play in the Light of the Lord’ and spent some time playing with the younger ones in our school. They also spent time praying to God and thinking about ways that they could work together.

Wednesday 8th March - Mass
Today year 3 and 4 went to church to celebrate mass with Father Neil. Some of the year 4 children lead the mass through readings and bidding prayers.
Monday 27th February
Today we visited the 5th Station of the Cross. When Jesus felt burdened, his friend Simon of Cyrene helped him carry his cross. We thought about ways that we have shown friendship like Simon of Cyrene and how we have helped others carry their cross.
Monday 6th February - Virtues Day
At Holy Family we had virtues day where the whole school celebrated and learnt about the different virtues. Year 4 have the virtue faith and were asked to write down what faith meant to them.
