Celebrating the Royal Wedding

Leave a comment

Today we added items of red, white and blue to our uniforms to celebrate the Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan.

We talked about the Royal Family and found out where they are going to get married.   We also talked about why we were wearing red, white and blue.  We then made our own flags.

We also found out that Meghan’s favourite flowers are peonies so we made our own.

Finally we made wedding cards.

This week we have continued to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly through the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’.
The children have ordered the life cycle and wrote all about it.
Here are some photos of the children acting out the life cycle!

On Thursday and Friday we spoke about the Royal Wedding. The children really enjoyed learning about Prince Harry and Meghan. Some children even wrote a story about their wedding! On Friday the children dressed up in red, white and blue.

Year 4 – The Royal Wedding

On Friday 18th May, Year 4 celebrated the Royal wedding by designing and creating wedding dresses and suits fit for a Prince and Princess.

We worked collaboratively to sketch our designs and discuss ideas. Then we used a range of materials to create the unique clothing.

We even used a member in our group as a real life mannequin to create the dress, or suit that was made to their measurements.

As a class we voted for the best dressed and Zariah’s group and Adam’s group won!

Celebrating my relationships with people and animals
Shared ‘The jigsaw charter’ with the children to reinforce how we work together.
Calm me
At the beginning of every jigsaw lesson we help our minds calm down so that we are ready to learn.
Asked the children to think about someone, or a pet who is special to them in their mind without saying who.
We asked the children, still thinking of that person, to write down :
• A colour that reminds them of that person e.g. green
• A word that reminds them of that person e.g. love, fun
• A symbol that them of that person /animal e.g. heart or a car, a dog shape (this can relate to a feeling or an activity)
Children then shared their thoughts with the class.
The challenge for the Children was to make a large collage that represents the people/animals they love.

Relationships- being a global citizen
Shared a PowerPoint of children around the world. Introduced he idea that many children around the world are are deprived not only of the ‘wants’ that the children in classes probably enjoy, but also of many of the ‘needs’.
Encouraged children to consider both the similarities and differences between their own lives and those of children living in the environment shown in the posters.
Asked children to consider if there is anything we can learn from children living in different circumstances to ourselves.

Relationships – being safe with technology
Children had to watch a short film ‘ Let’s Fight it together’ about cyber bullying. Debriefed the film helping the children to think about :
what is happening in the film?
How does Joe feel ?
What could joe have done to stop the bullying when it began to happen?
How did it get resolved in the end?
We all discussed as a whole class.
 Ensured the children to understand how to keep safe on the internet and what they should do and who they should talk to if they feel uncomfortable or worried.

Relationships
In small groups gave children a sheet of paper with feelings shown there. Asked children to discuss and identify which ones they might feel as part of a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.
Children had to think about why and in what circumstances they might have any of these feelings. Children highlighted those that they thought were relevant to them.
Children then had to focus on one of the uncomfortable feelings  – jealousy. Through questions and answers, teased out the way this feeling may come into play.

Last week on Thursday in Year 2 we shared ‘The jigsaw charter’ and discussed with the children how we work together.
Calm me
At the beginning of every jigsaw lesson we help our minds calm down so that we are ready to learn.
The children looked at a PowerPoint slides of different families and allowed the children to observe. Shared with the children the book, Who’s in a family?
I explained to the children that they are all families and that families come in all different shapes and sizes. I asked the children why we have families. Explained that they are there to protect us and love us.

Last week we started the session by looking at ‘The jigsaw charter’ reinforce how we work together.
Calm me
At the beginning of every jigsaw lesson we help our minds calm down so that we are ready to learn.
With all the children seated in a circle, started off by saying, “I’m… and someone in my family is my…” ( mum, sister, brother, Dad etc.) asked the children in turns round the circle to follow.
We then shared with the children: The family book by Todd Parr. Reinforced the children that there are all sorts of different families and that that is okay. Asked the children who is in your family?
Children had to draw and label a picture of their family.
