Welcome to the Year 4 Blog
Year 4 were very lucky today to take part in a financial literacy workshop lead by Kennedy from Skint2mint and sponsored by Coventry Building Society.
The children learnt about what a want is and a need is. They also learnt about budgets.
They were given a task of identifying which items they would need to survive on an island. They were given a budget of £50 and had to select 5 items they think they need to survive.
The children absolutely loved this and learnt alot!
It was a wonderful experience for pupils, parents and carers from year three to year six to hold Coundon’s Christmas Carol Concert at Coventry Cathedral. The choir were a credit to the school singing beautifully at the front, with a beautiful duet from Ruby and Eva – all brought together with pupil’s readings and a tableau of the first Christmas.
A huge thank you to everyone for supporting the Art Gallery.
We were blown away by the quality of work and it was lovely to see and hear children’s pride in their art work. The gallery looked professional and really gave status to the children’s work and skills.
This morning, officers Glenn Hartwell and Katie Darby spoke to the children in whole school assembly about road safety. They discussed safety around the school and dangers of speed. They also introduced a competition – look out for more information in the Friday Focus….
