Year 4 - Autumn 2 - Week 3
Date: 15th Nov 2022 @ 9:43pm
With so many events to celebrate and recognise this week, it sure has been a busy one!
We arrived to school ready to celebrate Kindness Week on Monday, following a delightful weekend showcasing out Kindness Video to our loved ones at home. With the understanding that this week marked Kindness Week, Anti-Bullying Week and also Children in Need, we knew spreading kindness was our top priority throughout our week.
We love to nurture others in Year 4, so this week we decided to spread kindness in the community by donating our unwanted toys, games and books to Barnardos Children’s Charity. Following our final swimming lesson, we headed into the village to deliver our donations and we overwhelmed by the grateful response we were given by the volunteers in store. We are thrilled to see our unwanted items displayed on the shelves, ready to be purchased and given to a loving home. We truly hope our donations bring joy to other children in our community.
A big thank you to BBC Teach for a fantastic Anti Bullying Live Lesson on Monday. We completed three activities, with the support of some famous faces, to understand who we can reach out to if we see signs of bullying and the importance of nurturing others. On Friday, we arrived at school in our Pudsey ears in aid of Children in Need. After designing our own Pudsey eye patches, we reflected on those less fortunate than us and the gratitude we have for the lives we live.
It was also Road Safety Week, so we popped down to visit our Reception class and teach them the meaning of some of the road signs we have been learning about. We did a fantastic job of policing the pathways, as Reception headed out onto the playground on their bikes and scooters, following the road signs we had put in place.
The children have worked extremely hard this week to complete assessments to showcase their learning so far this term. Our school value of Hope was certainly achieved by all as they tried their best and were determined to complete their assessments to the best of their ability.
Our Spanish knowledge is greatly developing with the understanding of how a phrase changes to suit a male or female person, we have developed different aspects of fitness by completing fitness challenges in PE and even enjoyed a fun lesson in the pool to celebrate the achievements in our swimming lessons in Year 4.
We are excited to welcome the Book Fair back next week. Don’t forget the fair will run from 24.11.22 to 29.11.22 and we encourage all to go and see the delightful books the fair has to offer.
Please also find attached to this blog, a parent information booklet regarding the Year 4 Multiplication Check which will be conducted in June 2023.
