I am still awaiting a number of parental consent forms to be completed. I have lots of lovely photos to share of our first weeks in Year 4 and cannot do so until all consent forms are in. Please complete ASAP.
It has been a very busy week in Year 4. I tested the children’s drama skills this week when we did the story of ‘Joseph and his brothers,’ using freeze frames. we have some super little actors!
Also, this week we have completed our second Kidsafe lesson in RHE. Children discussed bullying and also identified their own trusted adults in their life. THey learned about the power of their voice and how it is important to be able to say, ‘no.’ Please read the letter below explaining further
We have been knuckling down in maths this week - learning the column method for addition and understanding why we need to regroup/exchange if we have more than 9 ones or tens. In English, we had a special visit from an author this week, Dan Worsley. He was fantastic with the children and helped them imagine their own pirate. Children produced some super writing on this theme.
We have loved finding out more about seeds this week, when we discoved how different seeds disperse (spread) We examined seeds with different structures and identified their method of dispersal. Many children came running in on Thursday with handfuls of acorns from our tree in the garden! It is lovely to see how motivated they are on this subject.
Swimming lessons are going really well - children were kept very busy by Gail and Graham this week. They were very hungry when they got back to school!
