From Christmas performances to mummifying a class member, it has been a different and exciting week in Year 4! We have learned all about how Ancient Egyptians buried their esteemed members of society - and why they did so. Also, children have reflected upon all the amazing achievements of this Ancient civilisation. They have learned that there were other civilisations around this time nd that there were some commonalities between them. But whose civilisation was the most significant?
In our worships this week, we have learned about St Joseph and all his special titles which tell us what a kind, supportive and special individual he must have been. We have been trying to be like him each day.
In maths, we have been learning about the structure of numbers to 10,00 making sure we know what the value of each place in the number is.
We also got to watch the very magical Key Stage 1 nativity “Do not Be Afraid,” which taught us important lessons about not giving in to fear, panic and doubt - instead spreading joy, hope and peace - just like our Holy Family.
Let’s Celebrate!
This week, we have two Lizzie Ladybird certificates. One goes to Hudson who is improving so much in focus and in all his work The other goes to Ciaran who tried so hard in all tasks and listened to every bit of advice. We also have a Cooper Crab for Teddy who has been so focused on his history writing! Well done boys
