Advent wreath making at St. Bede's
Our Year 4 liturgical leaders spent the afternoon at St. Bede's making an Advent wreath for our school. They had a wonderful afternoon and were fabulous ambassadors for St. Peter's.

Welcome Back Owls! We are now in Spring 2! We have many exciting topics coming up this half-term. We will keep you updated.
Happy Easter from the Owls!
Holy Week - Palm Sunday
As part of our learning about Holy Week, the Owls re-enacted the story of Palm Sunday. They learned about the significance of palm leaves being used to greet Jesus as he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. They thought about how they may have felt if they were in the crowd, and also about those people who were not so happy to see Jesus.
World Book Day
We have had a fabulous day celebrating World Book Day! Throughout the day we have enjoyed a World Book Day assembly with the Masked Reader, had lots of opportunities to "Stop, Drop and Read", designed a book cover, participated in a book swap and viewed everyone's super book character paper plates. What a fantastic day and all while wearing our pyjamas!
Jesus in the Wliderness Artwork
The Owls have been thinking about what it was like for Jesus to be tempted in the desert. They thought about times they'd been tempted to do the wrong thing and how we can all try to make good choices. Look at some of the creative and reflective artwork they have created using chalk pastels.

The Owls have started looking at the amazing artwork by Gary Hodges. They were truly astounded and inspired by the pictures he has created using just pencil. Watch this space to see their own artwork inspired by the animals of the Amazon Rainforest!
This week in RE the Owls have drawn their very own triptych (a painting made up of three sections). They had the risen Christ in the middle section and a character from the Easter story before and after discovering Jesus was alive. Then we discussed the thoughts and feelings of the disciples before and after Jesus’ ascension to heaven.
During our whole school 'Faiths Around the World week', Year 4 focussed on Judaism. The Owls were very busy learning about the main beliefs and the signs and symbols of Judaism. Later in the week, we enjoyed learning a Jewish dance.
We also learnt about the ‘Hanukiah’ which is lit during the Jewish festival of light “Hanukkah” which lasts for eight days. We used oil pastels to create our own Hanukaih. Here are some of the pictures we created.
We have started the term by looking carefully at illustrations from our new storybook to make inferences about the plot and characters. We used role play to create dialogue between the characters. We then correctly punctuated this using inverted commas and other speech punctuation to tell our section of the story.
Get ready for a term full of exciting learning and adventures!

Today we used role play to create dialogue between the characters. We then correctly punctuated this using inverted commas and other speech punctuation to tell our section of the story.
