It has been such a special week in Year 4 - preparing to welcome a new monarch. We are lucky to have been learning so much about our country in the past in our History topics of Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. We have really examined what leadership is and what it means to be ‘great.’ This week, we have found out more about our new king - why he is on the throne now and also some of his passions and interests. Children have completed some portraits of our new king in the style of Kehinde Wiley - with a background which reflects his passions - from fighting climate change to growing plum trees - even his love of Italian food!
In RE this week, children have been learning about Pentecost. This has helped children in their understanding of being Christ’s body in this world and spreading His good news. This leads them to a deeper meaning of receiving Holy Communion for the first time, very shortly.
Today, was our celebration of our new King in our Coronation picnic - what a lovely event it was. Here are some pictures of the smiles and laughter. We also learned a patriotic song which the school sang together and made flags showing all things British.
Let’s Celebrate!
