Class charity
In our class, we’ve chosen to raise awareness and money for The Rob Burrow MND Centre in Seacroft, which is part of the Leeds Hospital Trust
We had a 'Dress as your hero' day in October and raised an amazing £152!
Honesty - Class virtue
At the beginning of the year, we were chosen, as a class, to represent the virtue of honesty.
We talked about how we could show honesty at school and at home.
Our School Councillors attend the school council meetings to talk about how they can help in our school. pics attached.
Through our learning, we understand the importance of how everyone is unique and special. We learn to respect and love one another. We have learnt that we all sometimes need a little help.
During our Internet Safety Week we read a story called, ‘Old MacDonald had a phone'.’ The children really enjoyed this story and went on to write their own posters about how to use a phone sensibly and safely.
Beyond the classroom
In our class, we’ve enjoyed a wide range of experiences this year to help us develop our love of learning.
In Autumn term we were visited by an expert on The Great Fire of London. The children loved handling the artefacts and learning more about what London was like at the time of the fire.
Engaging with our learning
Across the curriculum, our minds are filled with wonderful knowledge especially with the help of our exciting and fun lessons.
October was also Black History month and we really enjoyed learning about Matthew Henson. We completed a fact file in Literacy.
We have welcomed a Buddhist and a Hindi Visitor into school to help us with our learning about other faiths.
In February, in preparation for receiving our sacraments this year, year 3 and year 4 have visited Father Peter in church. The Year 3 children learnt about, ‘First Confession’ and the year 4 children learnt about ‘Holy Communion.’
We had a fun day on our ‘Jubilee Day.’ We learnt lots about the Jubilee Year of Hope. We enjoyed planting our seeds of hope in the prayer garden.
In Year 4, we have the opportunity to be part of the SVP, Mini Vinnies. We enjoy putting our Faith into action and helping out with fund raising activities and supporting with worship in our school.
During our electricity topic in science, we enjoyed making our own electrical circuits.
