May already !

Dear Year 4

Wow! Where did April go....?  We know some of you have been saying how much you miss you friends and family while we have all been staying safe at home, but it could have been so much worse. We have had some fantastic weather in April and the days are getting longer with light evenings, spring is here and summer is on it's way. Imagine if we had all been stuck indoors in the cold dark months before Christmas.....

Hopefully we will get a chance to have a quick chat with you all this week when we ring to say hello. Think about what you have been up to so you can tell us.

Religious Education

 

May is the month of  Mary, Our Lady.  Catholics are asked to pray a decade of the rosary each day, and many Catholic families will create a Mary Altar in their home, you may have seen the one the children at school created.  This might be something that you could do for your family at home, see the resources below for ideas. 

 

Your challenge this week is to make your own rosary, or decade of the rosary. You can be as creative as you like, there are lots of ideas online, you could make your own beads or you could even make an edible rosary. Send in your pictures and we will post the best ideas on the blog. 

 

Write and decorate a prayer that we could say throughout the month of May.

This week's lessons are from Summer Term week 1 w/c 20th April  - so don't look at the wrong week for the videos!!
