This week it is Anti-Bullying week and we have been looking at the book Wonder as part of this. In Year 4, we read the first chapter of the book and used what we have heard to draw what we thought the main character Auggie looked like. We then watched part of the film and wrote a character description describing Auggie! 

Last term we completed our 30-day Kindness Challenge as a school. We used what we had learnt during this challenge to create a 'Kindness Recipe'. We showcased our learning on a detailed double page spread! We also all received our 'Kindness Matters' certificates and badges for us all to proudly wear on our ties!

In PSHE this week we continued our learning of our Celebrating Differences topic. This week we focused on understanding bullying. We discussed different types of bullying and reminded ourselves of our whole school 'STOP' policy towards bullying. We read a scenario and identified the moment the bullying started towards a child. We thought about how the child would be feeling but also how witness and bystanders may have felt regarding the bullying they saw. 

In science this week we learnt how to create a simple circuit. First, we identified the different symbols that represent various electrical circuit equipment. We thought about why symbols were used in scientific circuit drawings instead of sketches of the equipment. We then built a simple circuit and draw a diagram into our science books showing the circuit we had created.
