Year 4 - Autumn 1 - Week 7

They say time flies when you are having fun and hasn’t it done just that!
To reflect on our RE focus this term, we outlined the main roles and responsibilities we have discovered David held from reading about him in Psalms and Bible Stories. He sure was a busy man! In Collective Worship, we took a look back at all we had achieved during the term and discussed what enabled us to reach those milestones and continue to do our very best. We explained how the things and people who support us in life are the most powerful assets we can have and those we are truly thankful for.
To beautifully display our writing this term, we spent time illustrating our own take on the Gorilla story in our Author Books. Year 4 created wonderful illustrations of the Zoo gates in which Hannah entered in our story ‘Gorilla’ as she visited the Zoo for the very first time. Using our very best handwriting, we then copied our writing around our illustrations. It was a joy to see the happiness on the children’s faces as they admired their writing.
What a great afternoon we had exploring and recreating Andy Warhol’s blotted line technique and his celebrity artwork. We showcased how we can use vibrant colours to create an eye catching design and how our colour choices can make a recurring pattern look different each time.
Our Spanish lesson was a spooky delight, as we entered the Language Angels escape room and tried to free ourselves from the haunted house by learning and recalling Spanish words and phrases. Thrills filled the air as children began to discover keys and learn new Spanish words for the spooky festive period.
A huge thank you to Unite, Formby for our Self Defence session this week. The session enabled us to learn some basic self defence, including how to release from grabs and demonstration to different defence techniques. We were also thrilled to attend the TSP Glow in the Dark Disco this week. It truly was an incredible event enjoyed by all. Thank you Team TSP!
A reminder that spellings for the first Thursday back after half-term are on Google Classroom. Attached to this blog is also the Year 4 Virtual Classroom which has links to various websites that can further support home learning. The pupils' individual passwords can all be found on Google Classroom.
Year 4, you have been a delight to teach this term and it already feels like we have spent a lifetime together. Have a wonderful week and we look forward to hearing all your exciting news when you return!
