The Year 4’s did an amazing job this term of learning about the scripture passage from Matthew 4:1-11, The Temptation of Jesus in Religious Education. They were able to identify the sacrifices that Jesus made by fasting in the desert for 40 days, and came to realise that Jesus was also tempted in his life. It was great to see the students making this connection with Jesus and their own lives and how they also face many temptations and challenges. The students also discussed how the scripture inspired them to be better people because of the sacrifices that Jesus made.

As part of Inquiry, the Year 4’s have also begun learning about the three levels of government, namely Federal, State and Local. In particular, they are learning about the City of Casey and its role in the community, including many of the services it provides.
