Year 6! We need your help! As part of an end of Year 6 project, we need EVERYONE to share their favourite memory of Heatherlands. Think of a time that made you laugh or really showed our Heatherlands values. We’d also like to know your hopes for the future. Please record your thoughts in these bubbles and send a photo to the school email address: heatherlandsyear6@coastalpartnership.co.uk. Thank you!

At Heatherlands, one of the things we have really missed is welcoming parents and carers in to school to take part in “Reading Friday”, which started up at the beginning of the spring term this year. Sadly, it seems that we won’t be in a position to re-instigate these events just yet, so for the summer term, we thought we would offer some guidance so that you can celebrate “Reading Friday” at home, concentrating on a different reading skill each week. Instead, we would like every Friday between now and the end of term to become a “Reading Friday”.

To all Year 6,

This week would have been your SATS week and the Year 6 team would like to mark this moment with a poem written especially for you by Miss Knowles.

There are also a couple of SATS papers available for you to try if you dare, on your year group page on the website! They aren't exactly what you have been learning about, but they are going to make you laugh!

Year 6 home learning packs for school closure

Year 6 Forest School 06.03.2020

Year 5&6 had a visit from author Chris Connaughton this week. He read them a chapter of his new book, The Essence Hunters. The children were able to buy a copy & get it signed. Chris will be in school again on Fri 31st Jan from 2.45pm if anyone else would like to purchase a copy.

The Yr 5&6 girls football team travelled to Bishop Aldhelms on Friday for their first match of the new year. The team had an encouraging pep talk from captain Evie and a fantastic game was played by all. Heatherlands went on to win 5-0. Thank you Bishop Aldhelms for hosting the match.

A great trip to Bovington Tank Museum

Year 6 Forest School Day

During Art week, Year 6 took inspiration from their geography topic – Fantastic Jurassic – to create 3d textured art work. The pupils created a fossilised scene using different layers of materials. They then chose the most effective media to add detail to their scene; many children used chalk and oil pastels. Overall, some interesting pieces of art were created!
