New beginnings

As Year 4 move onto Y5, we say hello to the new class. As part of PHSE last week, the children made little posters for the new children. The posters tell the new Y4 class what to expect and some top tips about life in Y4.

Take a look at some

I can see some very important information here. I hope the new Y4 children find them useful.

S.E.A.L Friendships - falling in, falling out

This afternoon we spent time talking about friendships and the "different levels of friendship"
We tried to work out if we behave differently with different people and what to look out for to stop friendship issues arising.
We considered these questions;

     Do you like all your friends in the same way?

     Do you like doing the same things with all your friends?

     Do you tend to see some friends only in certain situations?

     Would you want to see all of your friends all the time?

We added names of our friends onto this diagram.

The inner circle represented our family and closest friends, the outer circle represented acquaintances, people who you see but don't really know, like your dentist or postie.


Following on from this, the children thought about their friends and the qualities they have. 
Here are some fantastic LOST posters describing some of their friends. 
(If you find them please send them back to Y4)

PHSE - Emotions

This afternoon Y4 talked about emotions and how they can influence the way we learn.
Using an emotion wheel, the children thought about the barriers they sometimes face.

There were some emotions Y4 had not heard before, so we discussed the meaning and times when we might feel this way.

Can you remember some new emotions and their definition?

Here is a drag and drop game you can play. You have to match the emotion to the photo.
Let me know how you get on, it's not as easy as you might first think.
