The Heatherlands Way

PE days: Monday (indoor) & Tuesday (outdoor) - Children to come into school dressed in PE kits.

This week, Year 4 have been reviewing our topic and thinking about how we could share our vast knowledge about the Anglo-Saxons. We have been working in groups to prepare a presentation to show to the rest of the class. We considered our main sub-headings such as Anglo-Saxon Daily Life, Villages and Sutton Hoo.

In art, we have been studying the work of a famous artist called Henri Rousseau, in particular a painting called 'The Surprise.' The subject is a tiger in the Amazon Rainforest. We have used this as inspiration for our own paintings. We have thought about perspective and even making our work 'dream like.'

In Science, we have continued to study food chains, thinking about animals in a variety of habitats.

Welcome to Year 4!

The children in Kimmeridge Class continue to enjoy their swimming lessons. It is wonderful to see their confidence in the water grow each week. Lulworth Class will be the next class to begin their swimming lessons on Monday 10^th November. If you have any queries, please do ask the class teacher.

We are embracing the beautiful autumn weather. In our science lessons, we have been identifying and classifying plants and animals. The children have really enjoyed their outdoor learning, and they used their creativity skills to make some fantastic artwork in their early morning work. We thought they were amazing!

In our English lessons, we have been working incredibly hard on improving our handwriting in particular. The children have admirably followed the Heatherlands Way, demonstrating aspiration and resilience in their efforts and have made huge amounts of progress. We are very proud of them all.

Our maths learning has moved on to multiplication and this week we have been making links between the 3, 6 and 9  times tables. Thank you for your continued support and all you are doing at home to improve your child's times table knowledge.

Happy weekend!
