In our worship sessions this week we have been listening to God’s voice, Jesus’ voice and the Holy Spirit’s voice in various ways; such as through bible readings, meditation and silence.

We have had a very hard-working week in Year 4. This week, we have been planning and writing our own story based on our learned story: ‘The King of the Wild Horses.’ These have been really stunning and children are applying all skills they have learned in year 4 to really fantastic effect.

We have also been enjoying using Viking myths to practise our reading skills. Children have been reading about Thor, Loki and the other beings in the Norse Cosmos and their many sagas.

We have had a little go at our official times tables test this week, to see how fast it will be. We will be practising this for a few more weeks, until the actual test in June.

In maths, we have been dividing much larger numbers this week using a method called chunking. Children have learned to chunk numbers in the most efficient way to solve the calculation.

RHE

This week, in RHE we have been learning about behaviours: risky, unacceptable, unhealthy and ok. We have looked at situations where our emotions could over-run and lead us to behave in the wrong way. We have been learning ways to be resilient to negative emotions and one way is through thankfulness. We have role-played situations where we stop ourselves doing the wrong thing and remind ourselves of something nice that person has done for us. This helps build emotional resilience so we are not always at the mercy of our emotions.

Let’s Celebrate!

This week, our certificate winners are:

Anncia who received a Lizzie Ladybird certificate for being such an excellent listener and a reflective learner who thrives on feedback.

Jay who received a Cooper Crab certificate for absolute focus and drive to write a super story . Your concentration and effort is growing stronger and stronger by the day.

A Picnic for the queen!

Just a little reminder that on June 8th we are celebrating in style with a Red White and Blue Day. At lunch time we will enjoy a whole school picnic outside on the field (let’s pray for a sunny day!). Jacqui, our school cook, has ordered special lunchboxes which will be filled with a picnic feast. If your child already has school lunches, you need to do nothing. However, if your child normally brings their own packed lunch, you can order a special picnic box by pressing here and completing a form. This must be paid for in advance on ParentPay at a cost of £2.35. Forms need to be completed by 8pm on Friday 13th May.

Have a lovely weekend everyone. It is hard to believe there is only one week until the final half term!

Mrs Lyons, Mrs Mather and Miss Woodrow.
