Welcome to Gauguin - Year 4!

In Gauguin, we are imagining the impossible,

never giving in and never giving up

and having faith bigger than our dreams.

In our calm and thoughtful classroom we have Mrs Price as our teacher 

as well as Mrs Nielsen, who will support the learning of all the children in the class.

The children in Year 4 will develop:

 independence in their learning through the use of the Habits of Mind;

 co-operation through the School Values of R.E.S.P.E.C.T; 

and faith in who they are through the School's Christian Values

Welcome to the Summer Term - we have so much excitement to fit in.

Our concept for this half term is JOURNEYS. Our entry task will be a Philosophy for Children enquiry about the different types of JOURNEYS we take - physical journeys, emotional journeys, life journeys and journeys towards a goal.  We will focus on what values could help on future journeys. Our class reader for this halfterm is Race to the Frozen North - The Matthew Henson story. This will help us bring all the concepts we have explored this year so far together in one incredible story.

Our Exit activity will be the children presenting their JOURNEYS projects done as homelearning, during the week of the 20th May.

Our R.E. sessions will focus on the concept of BELONGING and the People of God.  We will think about the people God chose to share his hope for our world..

Our PE sessions this half term are both outside so as the weather gets cooler please make sure you have the correct P.E. kit. Our units are tennis and OAA (orienteering and problem solving), the days we have PE are subject to change.

Our exciting trip is to The Gilbert White Centre to complete a river study linked to our Geography unit.

The children's enthusiasm for learning fills the classroom. They will become confident in using the Habits of Mind to support them in their learning. 

Please keep an eye on the website and twitter for any updates.
