It has been a busy week in Year 4 and finally the sun has come out! The children have enjoyed playing on the field at long last and making daisy chains. In RE this week, children have learned about the 7 corporal works of mercy and how we can apply them in our everyday life. They have decided they want to do a charitable event for ‘Street life,’ our local homeless charity. We will be gathering ideas for this in the next few weeks. We had a beautiful worship led by Xander, Eliza and Logan on Tuesday. They helped us reflect upon the Last Supper where Jesus washed the disciples’ feet. They understood Jesus was showing that to love is to serve.

We have been writing lots of story openings in our English lessons, combining character and setting. There has been some amazing writing! Children are becoming such good spellers! On Thursday, we performed on the Grand theatre stage for our Speaking Shakespeare event. WOW! the children were incredible and so confident! They have worked so hard and have loved every minute! Here is a video taken from off stage:
