It has been a super week! Children have as usual thrown themselves into all learning. They have written their own story, based on the Firework Maker’s Daughter. They have tried hard to include humour, description, excitement and all the wonderful Year 4 grammar skills learned this year.

Children have been learning all about angles, polygons and triangles in Maths week - along with keeping our number skills ticking over. They have learned that angles are the measure of a turn.

On Thursday, we learned all about Fossils in Science and children have brought home their own fossil that they have made.

This week we have focused on Relationships and distinguished between friends, family and others. We have learned how to help keep relationships healthy and kind. We have learned that although there are many different types of family, one family type is not better than another.

Let’s Celebrate!

Together, as a class, children have received 15,125 learning points over this half-term! AMAZING!

This is because of how hard all children have tried to develop their resilience, self-belief, concentration, courage, reflection, creativity, co-operation and curiosity. The winning team was Bamber this half-term but, as we said in class you are all winners for developing your brains and hearts so much that you earned all these points!!!!

I had to give out 3 certificates this week too - I have just been so impressed with the focus, independence and effort!

Clara Clownfish/Lizzie Ladybird certificate: To Kiefer for being a pattern spotter - being super with angles this week and always seeking to improve yourself!

Kiki Chameleon/Roger Robin certificate: To Jack for always trying hard to have original ideas and for being such a co-operative learning partner.

Kiki Chameleon/Sadie Spider certificate: To Amber for going for it with her reading target and trying so hard to think up ideas for her story.

Notices

Some people have still not returned their Holy Communion letters. Please could we have these on the first Monday back.

PE change after half term: Inside PE on Monday has now changed to outside PE on Tuesday. Wednesday/Thursday PE is as normal.

I have put some optional home learning on the homework section to practise key skills which you may want to dip into to keep learning ticking over in the holidays.

I hope this weather improves for our half-term break! Whatever you do, we hope you have a lovely break with your families and stay safe.

God bless and take care,

Mrs Lyons, Mrs Mather and Miss Forster.
