WOW! I cannot believe we have come to the end of our first term together in Year4! I am absolutely loving every minute with the children their personalities and little characters are really coming out.
We have had a lovely, creative week together. On Tuesday we explored the story of ‘The Santa Trap’. We read about a child named Bradley who was mean, horrible little boy so Santa left him a present of socks. He decided that because of this he would trap Santa and steal all the presents. The children then created their own scene and characters. They then made their own ‘Santa Trap’.
We watched the dress rehearsal of Year 1 and 2’s Nativity. We also had a special Christmas assembly with Dan Worsley where he acted out and told us some of his new stories.
On Wednesday we had the Key Stage 2 Carol Concert. The children’s singing was incredible, and they made me incredibly proud.
Although we have been busy, we have been doing some fantastic learning.
Maths – This week we have been consolidating our learning from this half term by doing Christmas code breakers. We also had our Maths assessment.
English – With the children creating their own scene and Santa Trap the children wrote their own version of the story changing it to include their own Santa trap. These pieces of writing were incredible!
RE – In RE we have been looking at Mary and Joseph and giving reasons why they said YES to God. We then recapped the other Bible stories we have been looking at over the term and made links between them. The children then explained how they can change their actions based on their understanding of the lessons from the stories.
Important notice
School reopens on Monday 6th of January.
