Welcome to Year 4
Caring For Our World Day
On Thursday 5th of June it was 'Caring for Our World Day' in school.
The children got to split into different groups with children from other classes.
They then took part in different sessions throughout the day to learn more about things
we could do to help our planet.
The older children did a fantastic job of supporting the younger children
in their groups and helping them with the activities.
Everyone got to make bird feeders, seed bombs, planted some sunflowers
and got to find out a little about how bees help us.
They also made some bug hotels out in the school grounds and made world pledge mobiles.
Biffa came to work with groups of children and helped learn out more about recycling.
Everyone had a fantastic day and learned lots about caring for the world.
Happy New Year everyone!! We hope you have had a fantastic break and are ready to meet 2025 head on!
We have PE on Wednesday afternoons and swimming will continue on Friday afternoons. The after school club for year 4 is on Wednesday until 4:15 and this half term we are learning to play Basketball.
Christingle Service
We had a whole school Christingle service. A member of each class lit a candle and each class sang a Christmas carol. Year 4 sang rocking around the Christmas tree and the teachers sung Merry Christmas Everyone.

Black History month.
During this term our school celebrated Black history month. During our lessons we learned about some very important people who’s actions and influence helped changed the way people of colour where treated and how they helped make their lives better for future generations. We learned about Harriet Tubman, Laurie Cunningham, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and many more. We where so amazed by what these people did we shared what we had learnt with the rest of our school during our celebration assembly.
World Peace Day 
On Friday 20th of September we celebrated international world peace day.
We wore our own clothes for this day at school. We drew pictures and spoke about what world peace would mean to us.
We also had a special surprise from a member of our school community. He brought in some of his white homing birds for the children to see and learn about. Some of us have been learning about homing birds during our guided reading so it was a really good experience for the children to see their guided reading book come to life.
The children where able to touch, hold and release the white birds which they all really enjoyed.
Take Over Day!!
On September the 13th Saint Augustine's had Take Over Day.
Take over day meant that the children took over the school!!
During take over day the children of year 4 took over the teacher role and taught the lessons for the day which they really enjoyed.
The children taught an art lesson, a dance lesson, a cake decorating lesson and a sports lesson.
We where also lucky enough to have a visit from the new head teacher!
