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 Miss Kent as our teacher 

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

We also have the support of Mrs Bates, Mrs Nevitt and Mrs Sewell.

The children in Year 4 will develop:

Love for themselves and others.

Courage to give things a go and never give up!

Hope for the future.

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

Our concept for this half term is POWER. Our entry task will be focused about the Power of working together and what a team looks like linking to our PE unit about communication and tactics, as well as the importance of a 'happy tune' for our mental health. We will also explore how the power of our School and Christian Values will support us to be the best version of ourselves. Throughout the half term we will be thinking about different types of POWER and will explore this through a Philosophy for Children (P4C) session based around the story 'Yertle the Turtle' by Dr Seuss.   Our concept class reader this half term is The Song of the Dolphin Boy by Elizabeth Laird, this explores the power of friendship and working together.

At the end of September it is our residential trip to Hooke Court. This will be a wonderful time away where we can all work on our relationships, through communication and teamship as well as bringing our history learning to life.

Our R.E. sessions will focus on the concept of belonging in our unit “People of God” we will be answering the big question “What is it like to follow God?” 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 Netball and OAA - communication and tactics, the sessions will be on Mondays and Thursdays. But this may change due to weather.
