Week Commencing 8th September 2025 

English - We will be continuing our school book "Here We Are", focusing on all the things that make our world so special. This includes discussions of how to protect the environment and creating poems and soundscapes, focusing on "What a Wonderful World". 

Maths - We are continuing our first unit on Place Value. This week includes representing, partitioning and finding numbers up to 1,000. We will use part-whole models and number lines to do this. 

RE - Our first unit this year is Creation where we learn about God creating our world. In year 4, our focus is looking at God's creation of humanity and the fact that we are made in God's image and likeness (which is what makes us so special!) 

Also!

- Don't forget our "Meet the Teacher" meeting on Wednesday at 4pm 

At Saint Augustine’s Primary School, our school rules are simple yet powerful: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe, and Be the Best You Can Be.

These school rules guide us in everything we do, helping us create a positive, caring, and inspiring learning environment.

Being ready means coming prepared to learn and try our best every day.

Being respectful reminds us to treat others with kindness and value everyone's contributions.

Being safe ensures that we look after ourselves and others, both inside and outside the classroom.

And striving to be the best we can be encourages us to aim high, work hard, and take pride in our achievements.

Together, these rules help us to grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.
