We have had a lovely week in year 4. In our RE sessions this week we have looked at The Creed and why catholics say it. What does it remind us about our beliefs? We have examined the gospel story where Peter is told - you will ‘catch people’ instead of fish and discussed the meaning of this.
We had a very meaningful day on Monday at the Grand Theatre. Children took part in debates, they had a workshop appreciating what accents and dialects are and how the differ from Standard English. They also learned about how to be excellent, active listeners. Big congratulations to Bea, who got up on stage to say what she had learned.
We have studied digestion in Science, made animations in Computing, learned about French festivals and created some wonderful Shakespeare soundscapes and physical theatre.

Notices
The following trips are now payable on parent pay. The first two are to pay for the coach fare and have been subsidised by school too:
Aladdin at St Bedes £2
The Grand Shakespeare Playmaking event £5
Gawthorpe Hall 24th March £18
Shakespeare Playmaking festival Thursday 20th March - extra details.
The day before the festival, children will turn up as normal at school and will go to the Grand for a tech rehearsal. On Thursday 20th March they will be at the Grand all day and in the evening. However, you will need to pick them up and take them for their tea on this day - usually this is at approximately 2:30 to bring them back for 5:00 at the Grand theatre stage door for the evening show. These times may slightly change but please begin to arrange who will pick them up and drop them off. Nearer the date, I will send an online form asking you to state who is picking up/dropping off.
Have a lovely February weekend,
Mrs Lyons and Miss Bray
