Week commencing 4th November 2024
Welcome back! The children have settled in really well this week, coming back with bounds of enthusiasm ready for the term ahead. They have been demonstrating excellent resilience as we have been starting new topics in our subjects.
Some activities we have completed this week are: planning to go on an expedition to Ancient Egypt, we looked at what it was like back then and how it is different from today; in Music we looked at the song Mamma Mia and began to think about rhythm and pulse in the music, we also started to learn and sing the song; we began gardening, where the children thoroughly enjoyed getting their hands dirty and getting stuck in demonstrating listening and working hard to do their best; in Art we completed a task where we had to draw a self-portrait and choose suitable colours to complete it; basketball in PE, the children are learning lots of new skills including the chest and bounce pass.
Keep up the excellent work Year 4 showing confidence and empathy in everything you do, we have lots of exciting things coming up!
Week commencing 11th November 2024
It has been a great week in Year 4, we have been up to lots of lovely activities. This week has been anti-bullying week and we have been focusing on ‘choosing respect’ and how we can show this. All the children have been demonstrating the virtue of love and the value of empathy. On Monday, we had a lovely remembrance assembly led by Year 6 and Reception, where all the children listened beautifully and did some wonderful singing.
Some activities we have completed this week are: creating a song/rap about anti-bullying, where the children got into groups, wrote and rehearsed their song/rap; in History, we looked at the River Nile and the importance it held for the Ancient Egyptians; in RE we looked at the story of Elijah and the widow and thought about what message it told us; in PE we are continuing our unit of basketball, we have looked at the bounce pass and the chest pass.
Keep up the great work Year 4, showing super confidence in everything you do!
