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  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 ASPIRATIONS. Our entry task will be a Philosophy for Children session where we will explore the chant that many Victorian school children will have known on being the best that could be. We will also explore how our School and Christian Values will support us in the future as we think about what we aspire to be. Throughout the half term we will be thinking about different jobs as well as how we can help make the world a better place to be.

  Our concept class reader this half term is Underwater Boy Aaron Baron which also links with swimming, which is happening this half term.

Our R.E. sessions will focus on the world that Jesus wanted, how we know about this world through stories in the Bible and what we can do to aspire to make the world that Jesus wanted. 

We are lucky enough to have swimming as one of our PE sessions this half term (Monday mornings) as well as using our thinking creatively and relationships values in Victorian Childhood Dance (Friday mornings).

Our Summer 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.
