Year 4 - Summer 2 - Week 6
Date: 10th Jul 2024 @ 7:39am
As our penultimate week comes to an end, we look back on some highlights from the week.
In recognition of our Collective Worship value, we outlined the responsibilities we will grow into as we ger older and those responsibilities we will need to take on to stay safe and healthy. In RE, we reflected on all our learning this half term and concluded with a prayer to summarise our wishes and hopes for the summer break.
In English, we were inspired by Neil Gaiman’s instruction writing that navigated a journey around his Fairyland Forest. We decided to design our own enchanted woods and use command sentences to instruct our reader on the path they should take to safely venture around of mysterious lands.
Using maps, compasses and directional language, we discovered the main attractions located around St. James Park in London and used the grid references to outline where they were located. We then moved onto listening to given directions in order to draw a given image on a grid in the right location, correctly identifying whether the image should go above, below, to the left or right on the gird.
After visiting the boardroom to pitch our unique biscuit designs, our recipe was finalised and our new biscuit creations were made. Fantastically named, our Chocmellow Delights were not only tasty but looked delightful too!
We are so grateful to the wonderful Liverpool Cathedral for the incredible singing sessions they have delivered over the year. We have learnt so many joyful and meaningful songs that we had the pleasure of performing to our parents this week. We look forward to working with Mr Gordon again in September and hope our parents enjoyed the show as much as we did!
The children recently enjoyed a visit from Josh from Formby Library who shared all the exciting details about this year's Summer Reading Challenge.

We are looking forward to spending one last week together… even if we will shed a tear or two as we say our goodbyes! See you Monday, Year 4!
