Year 4 blog "Our similarities bring us to a common ground; Our differences allow us to be fascinated by each other." (Tom Robbins)

It has been a fascinating week in Year 4! We have made Scientific discoveries together when learning about how different rocks are formed and how this affects their hardness, permeability and response to acid.

We have been fascinated by the story of the Prodigal Son in RHE and how God is like the Father waiting to welcome us with open arms. Also, in RE we have learned about the first Christian martyr, St. Stephen and how his great faith in Jesus shaped his life.

We have been fascinated in maths when solving problems which require us to calculate and understand - what part of the calculation answers the problem? We have also been fascinated by analysing the wonderful world of words in all we do. Each time there is a new word mentioned, Dictionary Divas look it up, children may cry out, “That is a homonym!” or “Its a homophone!” Children are seeking to understand with more depth what they read by searching the meaning of new words. Add to that some excellent character descriptions and a lovely shared write together of a setting in class and it has been a great few days.

A lovely worship was presented by Saul, Julia and Thomas this week on the theme of love. What a calm and beautiful atmosphere you created.
