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 and Mrs Lewis Nelson, 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

The term has started in a really positive way as we explore our concept of POWER.  Not only have we already chosen our 'happy tunes', the song that lifts our spirits and makes us dance and sing, but we have thought about the power of music on our mental health.  Through our P4C focus session we are thinking about 'Yertle the Turtle' and how he used power in a negative way and the lessons we can learn about that linked to our PSHCE relationships unit. Our concept class reader this half term is 'The Dolphin Boy' by Elizabeth Laird which focuses on the power of friendship.

Our R.E. sessions will focus on the Jewish Feast of Pentecost, as well as learning about the traditions and rituals of a different faith we will be comparing it to similar traditions practices of Christians.

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.
