Y4 Great Geography

15th May 2022 By angelaritson

This week in Geography, Year 4 have been learning all about coasts. Today, we focused on the process of erosion. To help us better understand this topic, we enjoyed participating in a practical demonstration of erosion, using sand to make a “cliff” and water to represent water erosion / deposition. We also blew into straws to show how wind erosion occurs.

Feeding Families First

2nd May 2022 By angelaritson

Article 27: You have the right to food.
Over the last two days, all classes across school have worked with three amazing visitors from the Feeding Families charity to raise awareness about food poverty. Feeding Families help those who need support with food. We were told a story called ‘It’s a no money day’ which was about a family going through financial struggles and how this can impact everyday life in many different ways. The book centred around kindness, love and support. Children offered very thoughtful and detailed answers and joined in with the sessions with respect and showed wonderful citizenship. Thinking about Marcus Rashford, we were challenged to think about we can use our talents and skills for the benefit of others. Each class was then asked to discuss how they might use £20 to increase awareness for the charity, for food donations or funds. This empowered the children to show their entrepreneurial skills and how they might fundraise starting with £20. The children have been amazing ambassadors across school and have reflected on the vital work Feeding Families completes all year round. Well done CHJS- you have all made us extremely proud.
We currently have a donations box in school and would welcome any food items that you are able to send in to school that have good expiry dates. Food items could include pasta, long-life milk, tins or cereal. Thank you!

Zones of Regulation

2nd May 2022 By angelaritson

Some pupils participated in a lesson with Miss Bonas in order to understand the ‘Zones of Regulation’. This involved learning about the 4 different zones (blue, green, yellow, red) and the feelings that are associated with each zone. We then talked about ways we can support ourselves when we experience different emotions, e.g. by going for a walk, talking to somebody, taking deep breaths or counting down from 10. The children had lots of fun exploring the different zones and will be working on developing their own Zones of Regulation ‘toolkit’ to support them with their emotional regulation. One of the main things we discussed in this session is that all emotions are valid, it’s about how we deal with them that is important.
