The Presentation of the Lord - 2nd February
This weekend we will celebrate the holy day of Candlemas, or The Presentation of the Lord, on 2nd February. This is a day when candles are blessed in Church and taken home and lit to share the Light of the World within our homes.
Please follow this link below for more information on this week’s Gospel and to share some interesting activities at home.
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 their own myth narrative, based on their wider reading and own creativity! There have been some wonderful, gruseome stories!
In Maths, the children have finished the multiplication and division unit and moved onto area.
In Music, the children have continued playing their cornets and now have a range of other brass instruments. Keep playing at home! The hard work now will be worth it.
In Science, the children learned, through experiments how energy affects volume.
In History, the children looked at how Christianity was brought back to Britain in the Anglo-Saxon period. .
In RE, the children considered the differences between Jesus and John the Baptist..
In computing, the children researched the weather and used the sort function on Excel.
Resilience team!
Wellbeing Wednesday has continued!
This week the children did a 5,4,3,2,1 mindful exercise and enjoyed time outside. They also practiced observing their own thoughts and feelings.
