Year 4 Bulletin
HeadLice
We wish to make you aware that we have a case of head lice in Year 4.
Please can we ask that you routinely check your child’s hair. Please treat appropriately should you find headlice, advice can be found here

Thank you for your help in this matter.
Leaf art!
As a school, we have entered an art competition called the ”Big Draw’. Each year group has a different theme and task to do for the competition.
Year 4 have been asked to use leaves and any other autumnal treasures (acorns etc). We will be using them at some point in the next week or so for the competition.
We are therefore asking if you could send some leaves your children may pick up when they are outdoors and any other autumnal treasures they find. If they could be brought into school by Friday 13th October that would be really helpful for our entry! It also gives the leaves the time to dry out so we can complete the task set.
Thank you in advance,
The Year 4 Team
World Mental Health Day!
As today is World Mental Health Day… I thought I would share something created by ITV. ITV are trying to spread the idea of ‘Get Britain Talking’ due to the benefits this can have on our mental health.
Myself and the Guardians of Safety shared an assembly with the children yesterday! We discussed the theme for this year and ways we can help our mental health.
The task (please see below) is about opening up to difficult conversations at home. Sometimes we can be overwhelmed with our emotions and talking about them can really help.
Have a go at the task designed by ITV…
Painting a Scene from a Myth in Art!
Year 4 have had an extremely busy day… all of the children at school spent some of the morning looking at Roman Art as part of our art topic. We looked at how Roman myths have been painted in the past to show a particular ‘scene’. We looked in particular at the story of ‘Echo and Narcissus’ and painted a scene from this Roman Myth.
The children sketched first using a variety of techniques before finishing the piece of art using the watercolours.
An amazing morning!
WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY!
Today is World Mental Health Day! The theme of the day is ‘Mental Health is a Universal Human Right’.
We spent some of this afternoon talking about mental health and what it means. We also decided ways we could look after our mental health in the future! From this, we have created some mental health themed bunting that will be stuck in the classroom. Some of them have ideas to help when we may feel we need it and others are positive comments (like an affirmation). Year 4 have had a brilliant day!
#HELLOWYELLOW in Year 4!
Well done to year 4 for wearing a yellow item of clothing in support of World Mental Health Day!
Year 4 Roman Day Reminder
On Monday 16th October, we are inviting Year 4 to take part in Roman Day in school.
This forms part of their curriculum offer and we are very excited and pleased to announce that this will be run by David Cadle, also known as ‘The History Man’. Mr Cadle has run several events and ‘days’ in the past for NJS; he is always extremely enthusiastic, well-received and really brings the subject to life for the children. Please see the following website for further details.
http://www.thehistoryman.org.uk/thehistory_man/THE_HISTORY_MAN.html
As the teachers and Mr Cadle will be dressed up in Roman costumes, we are inviting the children to come dressed in Roman costumes as well! This can simply be a white bedsheet, made into a toga, or something bought, if you wish to do so. The cost for the day will be £5.50 per pupil. Please ensure that you access your ParentPay account to provide consent and payment for the experience.
The whole of the year 4 team are thoroughly looking forward to this wonderful day of new experiences. Thank you for your support, the Year 4 Team.
4M v 4N v 4OP
Good Morning 🙂
Details of a new TTRS challenge which begins TODAY at 4pm! It will last for one week and will be between 4M, 4N and 4OP.
In order to promote healthy screen time limits, I have set a time restriction where only the first 30 minutes played per day will count towards the competition. Of course, children can practice for as long as you allow, but only the first 30 minutes played will go towards their class score each day.
Many thanks,
Year 4 team x
#HELLOYELLOW REMINDER 10.10.23!
