Year 4

Welcome to Year 4

On Tuesday children from Years 3 to 6 took part in tree planting at Bishop Auckland Rugby Club.  We were given this opportunity by Oases North East in recognition of the school’s success in being awarded the Platinum Green Trees Award last year. Before Christmas, KS1 classes were visited by Grace Johnson from  Oases to plant seeds which will grow into trees of the future.

 

 

Year 4 Tennis Festival

On Monday, Year 4 visited Bishop Barrington Academy to take part in a tennis    festival organised by Education Enterprise. In teams of 7, the children played a   series of tennis-based activities designed to allow them to win points for their team. Helped by year 8 and 9 students from Bishop Barrington, the children moved around a carousel of activities throughout the morning and had great fun developing their tennis skills. The children loved it and were delighted when St Anne’s ‘blue’ team were declared the overall winners. Everyone enjoyed the    morning and are looking forward to the next sports festival run by Education Enterprise. Many thanks to all who helped put together the activities.

 

Special well done to the children from Year 3 and 4 who took part in the Football League over the past few weeks.  Some of the children had never played football before, but were so proud to represent St Anne’s in the competition.  We are all so very proud of you and look forward to future competitions!

A special thank you to Mr Hodgson and Mrs Tonge for taking the team to King James each week and for their coaching skills.

Year 4 visit from The Bowes Museum

On Monday 22nd November, Year 4 were visited by  Sarah Dellar from The Bowes Museum to deliver a workshop to compliment their topic of Romans.

After a brief recap about how the Roman Empire grew, the children were introduced to some authentic artefacts from this time. They were able to handle the items, guess what they were and how they were made.

The children examined pots and vases as well as looking at board games and wax writing tablets. They examined replica coins in gold, silver and bronze noting the value was determined by the weight of the coin.

After break, the children made Roman head pots from air-hardening clay. Using the replica pot brought in from the museum along with postcards from Pierce bridge, the children made a pinch pot. They added  detail using tools to scratch on a face and hair.  Then, they used a ‘scratch and slip’ technique to attach a nose. The children had so much fun! The results were great! It was a great morning learning about the Romans!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exploring Creation

Genesis 1:1-2:3.

Alison spent an afternoon working with Y4 on the Creation story. The class discussed the biggest gifts they had ever been given, from X-boxes to brothers and sisters! Alison spoke about gifts so big that they are hard to see because we don’t really know they are there, like the gift of Creation.

Alison re-told the Creation story, using pictures to illustrate each day. The class discussed the parts of the story that they liked the best and what they thought were the most important parts. They then looked at what would happen if they took one part of the story out; would the story continue in the same way?

After this, the class looked at two Bibles that Alison had brought along. One was a Bible with text only and the other was a Bible for a very young child, with little text and brightly coloured pictures. Aiden and Ava read the Creation story out from each Bible and the class discussed what was the same and what was different. They then thought about who wrote the Creation story? Who was it written for? Who knew what happened before there were any people? The lesson of deep thinking and discussion was ended by celebrating the part the children liked best, or thought was the most important, with a colourful drawing.

Mini Police

On Monday 1st November, Year 4 took part in the first of 6 sessions designed to train them to become ‘mini police officers.’ The scheme, run by DAAC and the Durham Constabulary, aims to introduce a positive experience of policing to young people and develop involvement with their local community. By raising awareness of the supportive and proactive role of the police in our local area, children gain a better understanding of how they can act as positive role models within their school community.

Apprentice Youth Workers Joe and Katie came along to  introduce themselves and tell the children more about the scheme. They will deliver a weekly programme of community activities such as road, water and fire safety. The children are looking forward to finding out more about police response levels, crime scene investigation and learning the phonetic alphabet!
