Year 4
Hello and welcome to our wonderful Year 4 class at Ss. Mary and John!
We are so excited to share our learning journey with you. In our class, we work hard, show kindness, and live out our school’s Catholic values every day – love, respect, honesty, and care for one another.
Our classroom is a place where everyone is welcome, and we all help each other to grow in faith and knowledge. We pray together, learn together, and support each other like one big family.
We are lucky to have a fantastic team of teachers who are here to help us shine:
- Miss Homer – always ready with a smile and lots of creative ideas
- Miss Yearwood – kind, caring, and full of encouragement
- Mrs Grainger – supportive and great at helping us do our best
- Mrs Harris-Benjamin – full of joy and always happy to help us learn
We can’t wait to show you all the amazing things we do in Year 4!

Our Saints
Saint Therese of Lisieux
John 4’s class saint is St. Thérèse of Lisieux – a French Carmelite nun who lived a simple life centred on prayer and God’s love.
She became known for her “Little Way”, believing that we can become closer to God through small acts of love and kindness in our everyday lives. Thérèse understood that we do not have to do extraordinary things to make a difference; ordinary actions done with great love are also precious to God. She is a wonderful example of humility, trust and childlike faith.

Saint Therese of Lisieux
Saint John Paul II
Mary 4’s class saint is St John Paul II, who was born Karol Wojtyła in Poland and became a priest, bishop and eventually Pope in 1978.
He travelled widely, reaching out to people of different cultures and backgrounds, and placed a particular emphasis on young people and their role in the Church. He encouraged people to live with courage, hope and faith and established World Youth Day. St John Paul II reminds us that young people have an important place in the life of the Church and encourages us to use our gifts to make a positive difference in the world.
