Year 4 Myths & Legends

Year 4 kicked off their

topic of Myths and Leg-ends by having a Demi-

god training day on Thursday 5th January.

They had lots of fun tak-ing part in many activities

such as Greek code

breaking, finding out their Greek god name and responsibility, rock climbing,

obstacle course run and Ar-

chery! During

this term they have created

Greek God hel-mets and are

currently trying

to find out who the lightning thief is from the book 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning

Thief'.

Very Important

There have been a few recent oc-

casions when we have not been

able to contact parents in an emer-

gency. It is essential that you let

the office know when you change

your mobile number, address and

contacts. If we cannot get hold of

anyone, we may have to contact

the local authority to fulfil our duty

of care to your child.
