Design and Technology Project
Please can all of the Year 4 children bring a cardboard box to school for use in their design and technology lessons. The children will be creating a Nativity Scene and incorporating their science knowledge too by adding lights.
Please can the children bring their cardboard box in by Tuesday 6th December.
Many thanks for your support.
Year 4 Advent Fundraiser
Dear Parents and Carers,
Advent is an important part in the Catholic liturgical calendar. A time for us to prepare ourselves for the coming of our Saviour. One of the ways in which we can prepare ourselves is to focus on helping and supporting others. Each class in school is therefore going to engage in a fundraising activity to raise funds for the homeless charity, Bed for a Night. This is the charity that we supported last Advent too - we raised enough to provide for 27 people to have beds for a night and a Christmas dinner). When we reflect upon Christmas we often think of family and being at home and as part of our social justice teaching in school, often the children then reflect on the fact that being homeless at Christmas must be incredibly difficult - even more so than the rest of the year. This is why we support this incredible charity. Please support your child and join us in opening a door of hope to some of the most vulnerable in our society this Advent by joining in with our fundraising activities.
This year, we invite pupils in Year 4 to join in our Festive Thursday by coming to school dressed in something festive / Christmassy on Thursday 15th December. You do not need to buy something new for your child, it could just be something that your child would wear on Christmas Day e.g. a party dress or Christmas jumper. Please also ensure that your child wears something appropriate for school and the weather on that day.
The ‘cost’ of dressing in your own festive clothes is a donation of 50p - £1.
Many thanks for your continued support.
We wish you all a happy, healthy and holy Advent.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
