Inspirational Person – Year 4!

Good morning year 4!

In this message, we are asking for your help… as you know NJS will be completing a ‘Wax Work Museum’ on Thursday 8th February. More details for this will follow soon!

For this, children are asked to come dressed as someone who is inspirational to them! We will be completing some work in our English which will build up to a biography. The biography will be available to see during the wax work museum, which will be displayed next to your child as as display/poster/oversized presentation (see below).

We are asking if you could have some conversations at home regarding who your child would possibly choose. This will help the children feel more prepared when we ask them to choose a person. We are looking forward to helping the children create a biography for the event in the 8th of February!

We hope you enjoy having a conversation about who they may possibly choose and we look forward to sharing our inspirational people with you in February!

Many thanks,

The Year 4 Team!

If you need any inspiration… 

1. Have a look on google – lots of information about many inspirational people can be found.

2. The Little People, Big Dreams books are amazing! We will have a range available for the children to look at during English lessons.

Music in 4OP!

This morning, we went into the hall to use the musical instruments to create a soundscape. We’ve looked at many elements to music including the orchestra and instruments we may see in one. The challenge we had was to create a soundscape inspired by a piece of art.

What an amazing job all of the groups did! The team work and listening was exceptional and I was very proud of them all for being so creative.

Well done 4OP!

Year 4 Performance WEDNESDAY!

We have been communicating for several weeks a limit on the audience to two per child, regardless of their age.  Please can we ask for your support in adhering to this for the safety and comfort of all.

REMINDERS:

WEDNESDAY 13TH DECEMBER: 6pm YEAR 4

Please remember:

*Strictly two audience members per child (any siblings or babies etc will count as one audience member).  We will ask you to sign in on arrival.  Please don’t place us in the uncomfortable position of having to ask someone to leave.

*We ask that you arrive through the front security gate: you will be directed to bring your child to the Year 3 classrooms and then to make your way to the hall.

*The security gate will open no earlier than 5.30pm.

*Photographs in this performance:

I know as parents you may wish to take photos of your child in their Christmas performance.  Please note that some children, for a whole range of reasons, do not have consent for their photograph to be taken.

Please can I therefore ask that if you take photographs you try to do so only of your own child and that you do not post any photographs from this performance on social media.

Thank you for your support, we are looking forward to these events.
