This week in our liturgy we have been talking about John and how he came to pave the way for Jesus. John baptised people with water when they asked him how they could follow the Lord….but told them that soon someone would come who would baptised them with the love of God. We have learnt about how at the Baptism of Jesus people heard the voice of God for the first time and how the gift of the Holy Spirit was seen through the image of a dove.

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 been preparing to write their own myth narrative based on Arthur and the Golden Rope.
In Maths, the children have been learning to use the formal written method of short multiplication.
In Music, the children have continued playing their cornets. Keep playing at home! The hard work now will be worth it.
In Science, the children learned about sound, how sound is produced, how it travels and the structure of the ear.
In History, the children looked at change and continuity between Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon settlements, before having a go at making a model of a wattle and daub wall.
In RE, the children continued reflecting on how Jesus’ miracles show the beginning of the Kingdom of God.
Resilience team!
Wellbeing Wednesday has continued!
I have loved seeing the children’s mindful calm jars. I hope you’ve enjoyed making them and using them.
This week the children considered what good mental health looks like, then got active and had a dance with added bubbles!
The children also collected the hearts for the Houndshill kindness project.
