What a beautiful first week in year 4 and what a a lovely group of children! WE are going to have a brilliant journey together.
The theme of our worships and our RE lesson this week has been trusting in God and loyalty. Children learned about the call of Abram and how he showed unwavering trust in God’s plan for him. In the Gospel, we learned about the disciples’ loyalty to Jesus and thought about how we can be loyal to Him.
This week we have also examined our school mission statement - “You are precious in my eyes.” Children learned that God wants them to know how much He values them. On reflection, children realised that if everyone is God’s precious handiwork, we should treat each other like precious jewels! We have thought together about our rights and our responsibilities at school to help our class mates learn well, keep safe and be loved.
In Science, children have been learning about the 7 life processes that all living things do and in English we have started our new novel - Charlotte’s Web.
In our Kidsafe lesson this week, children learned about general ways to keep themselves safe - on the road, on a bike, when out and about and when online. We learned about ‘Yukky feelings,’ and discussed what they should do if they have them. Please read the letter below which explains more.
Children have all been given new reading targets and have a school reading book. There is a little informal homework set - most importantly, parents homework! Please be filling in the important online forms below.
