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

After focussing on WISDOM and how we are wise Gauguin realised that they are quite wise about how to keep safe online. We are now looking forward to the excitement that a  new concept and of course a new class reader brings - this term it is King of the Cloud Forest by Michael Morpurgo.

Our concept for this half term is COURAGE.

Our P4C entry task will be focused on the connections between COURAGE, BRAVERY and RESILIENCE.  We will also begin our RSHE unit with a P4C enquiry based on a person in a bottle on a beach.

We will be exploring the concept of COURAGE through our wider curriculum thinking about how mountaineers need courage to reach the summits - this is also explored in one of texts - First to the Top.  Our R.E. unit is linked to Buddhism and the symbol of the Buddha.

Our PE sessions this half term are both inside and outside. As the weather is likely to be colder please make sure you have the correct outdoor P.E. kit as well as shorts and a white t-shirt for inside. Our units are Cricket and dance, the sessions will be on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Our Spring 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.
