Dear Year 4,
Yesterday, we all tried Miss Pringle’s burpees challenge and most of the children accomplished gold level! Ms Varga has shown good effort 🙂
We joined in the virtual Mass with Fr Shaun before starting our learning.
The children found the writing task interesting; daydreaming about a day out once Lock-down is over. Some of them planned a day out on the beach, some visiting horse riding stables and doing horse riding.
What did you plan? Please share your day out with us!!

Good Morning Year 4!
We had another bright and sunny day yesterday. Following Miss Pringle’s activity, we all achieved gold level in star jumps! What a way to start the day. Reading ‘The day Mum finally snapped’ was great fun as we recollected some memories of our own ‘surprises’ 🙂 We hope you liked the book too!
We added some more ideas to our Jar of Hopes and chose a second activity from the wider curriculum blog to complete.
Miss Pringle has also challenged us to a courgette growing competition, which we are completing in class. If you would like to join us in this endeavour from home, you could grow other vegetables in a pot and send us photo updates.
See whose courgette grows bigger!
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Almighty and merciful Father, who show your love to all your creation. We come before you asking for a quick control of the Coronavirus currently ravaging our world. Hear graciously the prayers we make for those affected by the virus in various parts of the world. Grant healing to the sick, eternal life to the dead and consolation to the bereaved families. We pray that an effective medicine to combat the sickness be speedily found. We pray for the relevant governments and health authorities that they take appropriate steps for the good of the people. Look upon us in your mercy and forgive us our failings. Amen. |
