Reading Books:

Please ensure you have signed the reading record located in your child's planner so I am aware your child has read their book. Your child should change their book as often as possible.

Year 4 – The Bible

“The Scriptures are the living Word of God, written under the guidance of the

Holy Spirit received and faithfully handed on within the living Tradition and teaching of the Church.”

Religious Education Curriculum Directory

The children will learn that the Bible is a story of God’s love and concern for us. They will learn that the Bible is a living book through which God speaks to us and tells us about himself. They will learn that the Bible is one story told

through many different books and they will learn about Moses, David and Jonah as well as learning how to find a Bible reference.

The children will have the chance to:

• explore how the Bible helps us to pray and experience how God speaks to us in the Bible

• participate in a liturgy and experience a guided meditation on a text from the Bible
