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 Mrs Slater, Mrs Lewis Nelson and our newest member to the team Mrs Sewell, 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

Our concept for this half term is WISDOM. Our entry task will be a play in a day, which will provide the hook on for our concept as well as our History unit. Throughout the half term we will be thinking about how we can learn from the wisdom of the past, through the Ancient Egyptians, the wisdom held in Holy Books such as the Torah and the Bible, as well as how God's wisdom can guide us to help others.

  Our concept class reader this half term is 'The Egyptian Cinderella' by Shirley Climo which focuses on wisdom of the Ancient Egyptians.

Our R.E. sessions will focus on comparing the Torah and the Bible and the wisdom they hold.

We are lucky enough to go to Eversley Indoor Cricket Centre every Thursday for our cricket PE sessions this half term.

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.
