Yesterday, Year 4 were incredible wellbeing ambassadors! Every member of the class went to another year group and shared kindness. They planned 5 minute wellbeing breaks for everyone. See the photos below and look for the smiles! Feedback from other teachers has been how much joy it brought to their groups and how respectful Year 4 were.
They really showed an understanding that activities that help with your wellbeing do not have to be difficult, long or involve resources. I am sure they would like to share how to do superhero breathing with you.
We have been extremely busy with our learning in Year FOUR this week. Here’s what we have been up to…
In English, the children have investigated the features of newspapers and written short recounts to use as quotes in the newspaper articles they are writing next week.
In Maths, the children have been using column addition and subtraction. We’ve also continued working on times tables and fluency.
In Music, the children have continued playing their cornets. Keep playing at home! The hard work now will be worth it
In PE, we have played team games.
In Science, the children have created food chains.
In RE, we started to learn about Joseph.
Resilience team!
Wellbeing Wednesday has continued! This week we gave stickers out, listened to music and enjoyed bubbles!
We also did a mental health scorecard check in. This is a chance for them to assess what they know and, later, they will reflect upon their learning.
Times Tables Rock Stars

The following resources are a great way of keeping you all informed of our current liturgy themes and of the weekly Gospel scripture, with some activities that the children can complete at home. We hope you find these resources useful and that they help you to support prayer and worship in your own homes.
