Class 4

Welcome to Class 4! Croeso i Dosbarth 4!

Teacher:  Mrs Miles 

  

 

Spring term 2023

Our value this term is 'justice.'

 

 

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
    And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
    and to walk humbly with your God

Micah 6:8

Context

Our context for learning this term is called 'Around the World'.  This term we will also be carrying out a creative schools project to celebrate our upcoming move to the new school site.
We will be exploring:
  • Our sense of Cynefin
  • What does community mean to us?
  • Film making and song writing
  • Music, art and dance from around the world
  • Exploring and tasting cuisines 
  • Considering the impact of importing foods
  • Comparing schools around the world

We will also be reading 'Sky Chasers' by Emma Carroll

 

Our creative habit of mind we are focusing on is 'discipline'.

  Remember

Our PE day is TUESDAY - please wear your PE kit to school every Tuesday.  

Reading books: every child has a reading book from our class library and are now allowed to take them home to read.  Your home reading book can be changed whenever necessary.  All pupils have a Giglets account where they can find virtual books to read at home.
