What a lovely week we have had in Year 4. In RE this week, we are learning about the bible. Children learned about how the bible is structured and they learned how to use a bible to find the correct chapter and verse in a book. Our focus is on the New Testament, so we began with the story of Abraham and how his great faith in God enabled him to be father of nations.
Also, this week we have completed our first Kidsafe lesson in RHE. Children discussed how we keep ourselves safe in general. We thought about what trust is and played a trust game. Then we identified ‘yukky feelings’ and how it is important not to ignore them. Please read the letter below which explains furher
The highlight of the week was our wonderful trip to Ashton gardens. Children loved the treasure trail where we found, named and described different flowers and trees. They collected seeds to bring back into class and it was so lovely to see their wonder when watching a bee drink nectar from flowers and pollinate them. Children did observational drawings of roses in the rose garden then had lunch and a play on the park before heading back to school. I have given them some homework this week that means they can get out in nature once more!
It was also a joy to welcome you into our class this week and let your children give you a tour of Year 4. It was so nice to meet you all. If you did not manage to come, don’t worry. Here is the power point shared at the induction evening.
Our first swimming session this week was a great success - no lost clothes and everyone remembered where their locker was! Children tried really hard and supported one another.
