Good afternoon everyone,
This week we have remembered the events of Holy Week through retellings of the Easter story by KS2. We have quietly reflected on the meaning behind these stories in class and considered how we can be more like Jesus when facing challenges or difficulties,
Please follow this link below for more information on this week’s Gospel and to share some interesting activities at home.
This week, we welcomed Mrs Holden back after her maternity leave. It was lovely to see her and have her back in class! She will be with Year 4 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
We have been extremely busy with our learning in Year FOUR this week. Here’s what we have been up to…
In English, the children have written persuasive letters
We’ve also continued reading Anglo-Saxon Boy.
In Maths, the children have worked brilliantly all week, using decimals in different ways.
In Music, the children have continued playing their brass instruments.
In RE, the children learned more about Holy Week..

Keeping children and young people safe online is one of the biggest challenges facing society today and it is all of our responsibility to ensure that children are educated to make positive, informed choices when they are online.
