Yesterday, Year 6 came to talk to Year 4 about Show Racism the Red Card. A key point they made was that children should be upstanders, calling out racism where they see it or seeking help if they don’t feel confident. . This point really sank in with the children.
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 written fabulous newspaper entries
In Maths, the children have been using column addition and subtraction. We have also been considering more efficient strategies to use. 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, a game of three touch ball.
In Science, the children have reflected upon their previous learning
In RE, the children continued learning about Joseph, thinking about how his decisions were informed by faith, hope and love of God.
In computing, the children experimented with Scratch.
Fit2Go
Fit2Go is a curriculum based healthy lifestyle programme where the children will receive a one-hour classroom based lesson, as well as one hour multi sports physical activity session.
Our Fit2Go Sessions will be on a Wednesday, beginning the 6th November.
Resilience team!
Wellbeing Wednesday has continued! This week we braved the rain and got outside to breathe some fresh air. Lots of smiles all round!
We also did a quick quiz to see how the children are doing on their journey to being mental health champions.

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.
