Gauguin-Year 4

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 Miss Stewart, 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

Following the success of our Focus Assembly linked to POWER we are really looking forward to exploring our new concept as well as all the excitement that this term brings.

Our concept for this half term is CHANGE. Our entry task will be focused about the changes that have happen recently within us as well as long term changes around the world. We will be able to explore changes in trade in Geography as we begin a new unit on India and Tea.

  Our concept class reader this half term is The Secret Lake by Karen Inglis, this explores the changes and links between different times and how some things don't change.

Our R.E. sessions will focus on Sukkot in the Jewish faith and nearer to Christmas we will be exploring at the role of Angels using the book An Angel just like me by Mary Hoffman and On Angels Wings by Michael Morpurgo.  

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 Dodgeball and Athletics, the sessions will be on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Our Autumn Newsletter and overviews will give you more information about the curriculum in Gauguin this term.

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.
