Bible story
Fa: Prynhawn da. Good afternoon. This term we will be learning about Trust.
Ol: Before we share what we think trust means, we would like act out a story that teaches us about Trust.
Sa: Today we are going to share a story about trust from the Bible.
Al: One time when Jesus was on earth, He was walking by the seashore. Great crowds of people tried to get near Him because He healed the sick and the lame and the blind.
Ju: He talked to them and taught them many things, always telling them that God loved them. In the evening He and His disciples started for the other side of the sea in a small boat.
Is: Let’s go to the other side of the sea in this small boat.
Tr and M Al: Yeah that sounds like a good idea.
M Aa: Jesus was tired after this long day among the crowds. As they sailed across the sea, he went to the stern of the boat, lay down, and soon was fast asleep.
Th: Suddenly the wind began to blow harder and a great storm came. The boat was filling with water and they were in real danger!
Ka: What is happening?
Bi: All the water is going into the boat!
Fu: How are we going to survive?
Dr: Why storm? Why? Jesus, help us!
No: Jesus, wake up! We need you or the boat will sink!
Is: What is going on?
Lu: We’re going to drown! Jesus help us!
Yo: Jesus! Do you not care if we drown?
Is: Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!
Al H: What do you mean Jesus?
Al W: How can he stop the waves and the storm?
Ha: The storm is getting out of control!
Al: Jesus then looked up towards the wind and the waves saying,
Is: Ssssh! Silence! Be still and calm down.
Ju: Suddenly the wind stopped and there was a great calm.
Sa: Finally the storm is over! We nearly sank!
Is: Where is your faith?
Rh: How did he stop the storm? Did you do that with God’s power?
Co: Who is this magician?
Ja: Sometimes we may feel like we are in a bad storm. God’s Word says, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved."
What is trust?
Ra: What is trust?
Ja: Trust us when you catch someone when they are falling. When trying the falling exercise we learnt that you need to trust each other.
Two people show the falling activity
Bi: Adi, catch me! I’m going to slip!
Ad: I’ve got you. Don’t worry! You can trust me!
Ry: Did you feel how much both children needed to trust each other? Trust is an amazing value to have!
Sing song

Answer these questions as you go along to help gather your thoughts and ideas:
1.What equipment will I need?
2.How did I make the parachute?
3.What is my prediction? (What do I think will happen?)

St David’s Day
A land of rugged mountains
A land of finest state
The sound of rushing rivers
Gives us cause to celebrate.
A land of ancient forests
Green valleys, grazing sheep
Gives the people of St David
A land they wish to keep.
Follow the red dragon flag
In parades led by Welsh bands
Raise voices in the choirs
To salute this lovely land.
For here in Wales, or far away
The Welsh remember still
And on St David’s day with pride
Wear leek or daffodil.
By Brenda Williams

After learning about the amount of pollution in the oceans of the world Year 4 took it upon themselves to raise awareness about what we are doing to our planet. So we made our own posters and took our protests to the street!

Glamorgan Cricket Ground

Singing Carols with the Golden Oldies
We were very fortunate to be invited to the day centre next to St Germans Church to sing a selection of Christmas Carols with the "Golden Oldies" and Kate who puts on these fantastic events. We sang, chatted and danced with them and spread a great deal of Christmas cheer, a jolly good job year 4!
To help us gain an insight into what it was like to be Roman and what they got up to we had a wonderful time exploring Caerleon, the Roman Fortress. We marveled at the Roman baths and pretended we were Gladiators in the Amphitheatre. We explored the museum and became Roman soldiers and school children.
To help us learn all about team work we ventured on a trip out to Storey Arms. This trip would test our co-operation and team work ability but we still managed to have lots of fun. We enjoyed working together and learning outside of the classroom. We completed a wobbly maze, crane skills and orienteering.
We have just started our new topic of the Romans and we were very lucky to have Evan Chapman come into school to talk to us all about the Romans and what they did.
We asked him lots of tricky questions.
We have recently finished our topic of 'Energetic Engineers' where we looked at forces and their effects.
We then created toys out of recycled plastic bottles to demonstrate our understanding of construction and knowledge of how to create a circuit. We tested them and showed them to Year 3 of how they worked and how we made them.
We were lucky to have our very own Father Phelm come into our class and we got the chance to interview him about what it is like to be a vicar. He answered all of our interesting questions and even our bizarre ones!
