Well done Max, who was selected to be part of the Dorset Badminton Team......I know that you had been aspiring to be like your brothers, all that hard work has paid off, lots of training ahead now!!!! Great stuff, keep it up!!!! YET MORE talented Year 4 children!!!!
I hope you are all working away on your art competition entries, do come in next Monday to enjoy the exhibition in the hall!!!! We have embarked on some exciting artwork projects......as well as our Roman collaborative learning projects!
Jigsaw lesson, piece 2: we recapped how we are all unique and that our characteristics come from our parents through the sperm and the egg. We then discussed why people decide to have a baby and how difficult they thought it would be to look after a baby!!! This generated lots of discussion about siblings and how special babies were to their parents but that, quite often, parents had to learn as they went along. We then discussed how creating a baby was a real miracle, with relation to how clever our bodies are at being able to create life. We looked at diagrams of the male and female reproductive system and addressed misconceptions about the names for these parts and where the sperm and eggs are produced. We also looked at a diagram of a baby in the womb.......the children began talking about what they knew about how babies were born and further misconceptions were addressed about where the baby was born from. Many of the children shared how they or their siblings were born!!!! Next Monday we will be talking about puberty and the changes they will face as well as talking about menstruation.
Please come in and ask if you have any questions!
Mrs. J and the Team!
