We learned about God as a creator. The children explored things that made them go ‘wow’ and created their own pieces of art.

Charcoal Drawing
This week in art, the children have been experimenting with charcoal as a drawing media. They drew 8 settings – stormy sea, calm sea, wind and driving rain, thunder, lightning, bleak forest, snowstorm and fire.
They really enjoyed using the charcoal, creating harsh lines, bold shading, light shading, softened shapes by smudging the charoal with finger tips or paper towel. Here are some examples of their work.
Real PE – Personal skills – Footwork
PE
Some of the children were finding the hopscotch movement difficult to understand during PE in the hall today, even with supporting videos and demonstrations from their peers.
Fortunately, before we finished the lesson, the weather cleared up and we headed off outside to the newly finished playground to try it out on the new hopscotch area 😊
Watersports – Paddleboarding and Kayaking
During the course of term 1, all children in year 4 will have the opportunity to visit Rye Watersports and take part in paddleboarding (if the weather is calm) or kayaking (if the weather is windy). The first group of children headed off on 9th September and had a great time learning how to use the kayak, stay onboard(!), get back in (!), and work together to make it move forward and turn.
Group 2 – 16th September
PE – Tennis
The children enjoyed being outside for PE today, practising racket holds, balance and forehand ground pushes to return a ball to their partner.

Our KIRFs for this term.
Happy Birthday Sir David Attenborough
We celebrated Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday by dressing up as animals and explorers. During the day, we learned about his life and his career. We also watched a special live assembly.
Knuckleball Twins
It was fantastic to have Sammy come to talk about his footballing experiences with some of the big clubs and to show the children some of the things he and his twin brother, Charlie, have been up to.
They started their YouTube channel back in 2012 and everything on there is safe for children. If you’d like to share their videos with your child, please click the link >>> https://www.youtube.com/@KnuckleballTwins (please be aware that adverts may be played and that St Nicholas Primary are not responsible for external web content)
Sammy went on to demonstrate the knuckleball skills with the children outside in the sunshine and they had about 45 minutes practising together.
