Jigsaw – Year 4

2nd May 2018 Mrs N SIDHU Leave a comment

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.

We played a game called ‘switch’ children sat in a circle and asked to switch places if : you’ve lost something that was important to you, you have helped somebody else find something they have lost, etc.

Read the story ‘Goodbye mousie’

Story was about a boy who lost his pet, and how he deals with this loss. Children were then asked what feeling did the boy feel in the story? Why do you think he felt these feelings ?

On Thursday, Year 4 visited Woodlands outdoor adventure park. All the children took part in different activities throughout the day such as, archery, canoeing, a zip wire and an assault course. Luckily, the sun was shinning all day and we all had an amazing time!

Take at look at how much fun we had!

Jigsaw – Year 4

19th April 2018 Mrs N SIDHU Leave a comment

Yesterday we began by calming our minds down and preparing our minds to begin learning.

In connect us, the children had to use different adjectives to describe Jigsaw Jazz. They then had to use similar adjectives to describe themselves.

For open our minds, the children had pictures of kittens and had to try and match up the kitten to its mother. This showed that it was quite random and that not every characteristic is shared with our parents.

International Week in Year 4

29th March 2018 N McCAUSLAND Leave a comment

Year 4 had lots of fun exploring a range of different countries, cultures and artwork during International Week in school. At the start of the week during Literacy children completed research on Africa, Asia and Europe and used their knowledge on these countries to create a non-chronological report on each country.

Later on in the week, children brought something into school which they felt represented the country that they or their family were from. Children brought in a variety of different lovely things from artefacts and food to traditional clothes. Parents were also invited to take part in our session and everyone thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the international countries that our class members are from.

During the end of the week, children created some wonderful artwork and developed their creative skills by making their own African masks and artwork.

“What I have enjoyed about Jigsaw so far is looking at differences and learning about different cultures.”

Carmen – Year 4

“My favourite lesson in Jigsaw was learning about differences. Having another friend in the class who is different to myself as she is from Africa. So I have learnt a lot about her background and that she can speak different languages.”

Selah – Year 5

“When I am using a computer and looking at the internet. I have learnt that I should not share personal information online.”

Selah – Year 5

“I can show someone I care for them by listening to them when they speak to me.”

Mia – Year 2

“I’m enjoying Jigsaw lessons because we learn about different things. I really like the chime when we can relax and clam down before doing our work”

Azaan – Year 2

“To be a good friend you have to say kind words to them and look after them when they fall over and hurt themselves. And always remember to share things with them”

Amelia – Year 1

“PHSE helps the children in our school by helping us to learn about other important things outside of school. In Jigsaw I have enjoyed learning about different cultures and that everyone is unique and that we get to learn about their cultures.”

Dhakiyah – Year 6

“I enjoy learning about different things. And knowing our rights, which I found out in my first lesson of Jigsaw. One of our rights is to get an education, which I didn’t know before. I also learnt about our responsibilities within school.”

Year 4 – Science experiment

16th March 2018 S HUGHES Leave a comment

Year 4 have been learning about the human body and how to look after our teeth. We completed an experiment to investigate how different liquids effect our teeth. To represent the enamel on our teeth we used egg shells and placed them in different liquids such as, milk, water and coke. After a week, we removed the eggs shells from the liquids to show the effects of sugar on our teeth.

Yesterday in Year 4, all the children and adults sat in a circle and went through the Calm Me script to prepare ourselves for learning.

In Connect us, the children played ‘Switch’. Statements were read out and children had to switch places if they agreed with any of them or had experienced anything similar.

In Tell me or show me, the children were shown a clip about bullying. They were asked what they would do if they knew someone who was been bullied.

Think Tank – Year 4

13th March 2018 S HUGHES Leave a comment

On Monday, Year 4 visited the Think Tank to learn about the human body and the digestive system.

We took part in a workshop were we explored and discussed different parts of our bodies. We started by identifying our teeth and discussed how to keep them clean and healthy. We learnt about a healthy balanced diet and organised different items of food into the 5 key groups made up of carbohydrates, protein, milk and dairy product, fruit and vegetables and sugar and fats.

We learn that the digestive system is a pretty important part of our body. Without it, we couldn’t get the nutrients we need to grow properly and stay healthy. Next time we sit down to lunch, we’ll know exactly where our food goes from start to finish!

In the afternoon, we discovered the different areas of the science museum and we were even lucky enough to play in the fascinating science garden.
