Whole School French Celebration: Bastille Day

We had a fantastic time in the Summer Term when the school learned about the French celebration of Bastille Day. We learned about the history and the significance of the celebration in modern France. We experienced a taste of French culture by dressing up in the colours of the Tricolore flag, tasting brioche and pain au chocolat, sharing a picnic with our friends and playing boule.

Year 4 had a fantastic time at the Sikh gurdwara today. We were made to feel very welcome and learnt a lot about the Sikh religion. The children behaved beautifully and we were very proud of them all.

Year 4 Educational Visit to Sikh Gurdwara on Monday 1st July

This is a reminder that we are visiting the gurdwara in Priorslee tomorrow. We will leave school at approximately 9.15 and return in time for our usual school lunch arrangements, although we will be offered a meal at the gurdwara, so some children may eat less from their lunchbox or school dinner than usual.

Please rest assured that while we gently encourage children to try the food at the gurdwara, the decision about what they would like to try is entirely up to them. Dietary requirements have also been taken into account.

Children need to:

wear school uniform
be appropriately prepared for the walk there, whatever the weather! (Sun protection/coat etc). Comfortable shoes or trainers for walking must be worn.
bring a headscarf/bandana/ snood to cover their head in the gurdwara
bring a water bottle

We are really looking forward to the visit. It forms an important part of our RE curriculum and is always such a memorable highlight of the year! Thank you for your support with this visit.

The Year 4 Team 🙂

Year 4 History Anglo-Saxons and Vikings

We have been historians in Year 4. We used secondary sources to find out about the past. We compared Anglo-Saxon and Roman times using our concepts: invasion, settlement, empire, monarchy, civilisation and religion. We used a timeline to see how the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings overlapped in Britain.

Year 4 Trip to Lichfield Cathedral on Monday 3rd June

Dear Parents/Carers,

On Monday 3^rd June (which is the first day back after half term) Year 4 will be attending the Inspire workshops at Lichfield Cathedral. The children take part in a series of surprise activities, including a tour of the historic cathedral. It supports our RE topic ‘Sacred Places’, as well as promoting personal, moral, social and spiritual development. This is our biggest trip for the year and is always an exciting day! If you have not yet consented, please can you do so.

As Mrs Sixsmith has kindly agreed that school can help pay for the transport, the cost of this visit is £10 per child. The children will need to bring a packed lunch from home, a drink (not fizzy pop) and wear their school uniform, including a jumper as the Cathedral can be chilly inside, even on hot days. (Please note that as we are leaving early, the school kitchen are unable to prepare packed lunches for the trip.)

We will be leaving school at 8.45 so please can children arrive at school promptly for 8.30am. We will return to school at 4.00pm. Please drop off and collect your children from their usual door. (Should we experience any traffic delays on the day, we will contact you via school messaging systems.)

If you have any questions about the day, feel free to ask any of the Year 4 Team.

Best wishes,

Mrs Holt, Miss Harris and Mr Perry
