Article 12:Every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously.
This term, in PSHE, the children are learning about ‘Living In The Wider World’. This week we discussed the importance of having a voice and being able to express our feelings about matters that affect us. The children were able to identify that the School Council collect and share pupil voice and help children create change important to them. The children presented speeches on why they would be an asset to the School Council. Pupils then voted for who they wanted representing their class.
In Computing we started off by getting all the children to independently log on to their user name and password, which they used for the first time. We then discussed with the whole class on what we are going to be doing in computing this term and getting them ready for their first lesson on coding.
Year 4
Today in computing the children created a script that creates buttons that draw different shapes when clicked.
This week in Year 4 we have began our week by learning to orally retell a fantasy story. We used actions to help us remember the story and spoke with expression. On Wednesday, we learnt how to read as a reader and discussed great words and phrases that the writer had used.
Look out for our own fantastic fantasy stories next week!
In this week’s 6’s and 7’s session we talked about each of us being a special, growing person with personal strengths on which to build. We looked at how we are alike and also learnt that each of us is unique.
Children drew pictures of themselves doing something they are good at. These activities helped the children to get to know each other and become comfortable working together as a group.
