This week, Year 4 had a mental health workshop with Mindsup. This was a fantastic opportunity for us to discuss our feelings and come up with ideas on how to make us even happier.
Last week we wrote formal letters to Miss Long to try and convince her to allow us to wear our own clothes. Miss Long then replied to some of our letters which we then read to the class.

This week in R.E. we have been learning about our new topic called New Life. We completed an activity that allowed us to write our own story about someone being sad and miserable and some good news that brought them happiness and made them feel alive. It was nice to write our own stories.
This week in computing we have been trying to link out learning to music. We used an app called Isle of tune. This was fun as we were able to create our own masterpieces and share it as a class. We found it interesting as we were able to change the pitch and tune of our island.
