Workbook 7Hello Year 4!

I hope you have all had a good week. I have been blown

away with the work I have seen this week. Some brilliant

stories, lots of problem solving in Maths and lots of incredible

drawing.

I’m so proud of how resilient you are being and I have loved

speaking to so many of you on the phone. Mrs Storey and I

are really missing you and love hearing what you’ve been up

to.

This week I have enjoyed reading the Marvel Encyclopaedia

PSHE

Hello Year 4,

I hope you are all ok and that you got on well with last week’s

challenge? For the last few weeks we have been focusing our

learning on the British Values and this week it is the turn of ‘Mutual

Respect’. Mutual Respect is the fourth finger on the British Values

hand and can be remembered by the fourth finger being the ‘wedding

finger’.

Task 1 - Run through the British Values we have learnt so far using

the British Values hand to help you recall each one.

Mutual Respect

Mutual respect is understanding that we do not all share the same

values and beliefs, but we are respectful towards the values and

beliefs of others even if they are different to ours. Similarly to the

value of tolerance, we view others as equal even if their opinions

and views are different to ours.

Showing our Respect

If you respect someone you demonstrate ‘high regard’ towards

them – you think they are brilliant! People respect others who are

impressive. For example you might respect someone who has a role

of authority – like a parent, a teacher or a police officer. You might

respect someone who has achieved something impressive – like a

famous sports personality or a pop star. You probably also

respect your friends! We can show respect to others by always

being polite, kind and complimentary.

Task 2 – Make a mind map naming all of the different that you

respect.

Once you have made your mind map think about why you respect

each of these people.

Do they Respect you in return?

How?

REMEMBER WE MUST ALWAYS EXPECT RESPECT!

I respect…

Showing respect at a time of national crisis

As our country goes through a time of difficulty, many people are

finding a variety of ways to pay respect to others in the community

who have continued to work and provide support to others. Those

in the NHS, Refuse collectors, Posties, Police Officers, Supermarket

Workers, Delivery Drivers (to name a few) have continued their roles

despite the dangers. These people have now been recognised as

everyday heroes and their achievements are celebrated by the

nation. Each Thursday we come together as a nation to clap for

carers; children have painted and displayed rainbows in their

windows as a mark of thanks and many of these everyday heroes

now receive thanks from strangers that they did not receive before

the pandemic. See examples of respect being paid during the

pandemic below:

Task 3: This week’s RESPECT task:

For our final task of the half term, I would like you to take some time

to reflect on those who have helped you over recent weeks. Who

stands out as an everyday hero to you? Is it the supermarket staff

stocking the shelves? Is it the teachers supporting you with your

school work? Is it a family member or friend who has stayed in

touch to make sure you are ok? You may have multiple everyday

heroes! Your task is to think of an innovative way to thank your

everyday hero. It could be through a letter or picture of thanks; it

could be through some kind and meaningful words or a poem, it

could be through a gesture or simply a smile. Once you have thanked

your hero, make a note of how you did it. How did they react to

your praise? How did it make you feel? I cannot wait to hear how

your spread your word of thanks and paid respect.

Well done everyone and I hope you all have a safe and also

enjoyable half term. I respect all of you for continuing to be so

resilient in the face of adversity. Mrs Ward
