A lovely first week back in Year 4. In our worship this week, we thought about the kingdom of God and what it is. We decided that the kingdom of God is led by Jesus and if we listen to His words and follow His ways, we can find God’s kingdom on earth. In RE we learned about the conversion of Saul to Paul - later St. Paul. Children have reflected upon St Paul’s importance as he spread the news about Jesus far and wide, facing many adversities on the way. They have looked at famous artwork depicting this event too.
This week, children have started a new topic - rivers in Geography. They gave such intelligent answers when reflecting on the progress of a river with Miss Edwards. They have done their multiplication check this week too - they have worked so hard all year to be secure in their times tables knowledge - this will really put them in an excellent position for year 5 maths.
In English, children have delved deep into the Viking cosmos and have found out about the nine realms. THey have created these in groups and their English topic reeolves around it.
We have got into the World Cup spirit in class. Every child has a team and has coloured a flag! They have got an extra team one between two as well! Exciting!
Conversation starters
RE
What happened to Saul on the road to Damascus?
Geography
How does a river start? Then what happens to it? What is a waterfall? What is a meander?
