In our RE and Liturgy time this week, Year 4 have been trying to deepen their thinking around Advent. Advent is a time to prepare for the birth of Jesus who came to save us and take away all of our wrong choices, giving us a clean slate.
Therefore, Year 4 have been making promises regarding what small actions they can take to better other people’s lives as a sign of acknowledgement of everything Jesus did for us.

Year 4’s learning this week:
English: Year 4 have continued using their vehicle text Leaf to aid their writing. Therefore, they have been using this book as an inspiration to write their own non fiction information reports all about polar bears and their habitats.
