How can use our gifts to serve our family and community?

This half term in Year 4, our learning is rooted in the Catholic Social Teaching theme of Stewardship of God’s Creation, guided by the question: “How can we use our gifts to serve our family and community?”

As geographers, the children will explore the unit of Rainforests, discovering where rainforests are located around the world, their key features and why they are so important to our planet. They will investigate the incredible biodiversity found within rainforest habitats, the vital role rainforests play in supporting life and the threats they face through deforestation and climate change.

Throughout the unit, children will consider our responsibility as stewards of God's creation and how our choices and actions can help protect the natural world. They will reflect on how they can use their own gifts and talents to care for the environment, support their local community and live out the values of Jesus by showing respect, compassion and responsibility for all of God's creation.
