I think we can safely say that Summer is here! We have had a hot, but lovely week in Year 4 - in our final half term together. This week, in RHE we have been talking about how our bodies are a gift from God and so we should respect and look after them. We talked about the importance of getting outdoors, how to be adventurous but careful and how to try to nourish and hydrate our bodies with healthy food and drink. This leads us nicely into our Health and Happiness fortnight which begins next week.
Despite the heat, children have again worked their socks off this week. On Tuesday they all took their Multiplication Test - and it was lovely to see their confidence. All the hard work has paid off! We have loved delving deeper into fractions above one whole this week in our maths lessons. Please could you practice telling the time at home with your children, as this will be a focus over the coming weeks.
In English this week, children have been busy using all their Year 4 techniques to describe characters and settings from our novel. They are amazing! They have also written some super limericks about the characters too! Here are some examples of their work below.
On Wednesday night, members of our choir sung at North Pier. They were so entertaining. Well done Ola, Rex, Esther, Arthur, Niamh and Layla. You were wonderful.
Let’s Celebrate!
This week, Liam has received a Cooper Crab certificate for excellent focus leading to excellent work!
Rex has received a Tommy Turtle/Roger Robin certificate for giving everything his best shot and being co-operative.
PE stars this week go to Dominic and Esther for being so supportive to their team members.
Attentive and Discerning butterflies
This week we thank Jacob, Michael and Benjamin for helping out when nobody is looking - for the greater good of your class! What beautiful children.
