Year Four at Heathfield

We have had an amazing year. I would like to say how proud I am of each and everyone of you and how much I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching you ( you genuinely put a huge smile on my face each day).
Thank you for being a fantastic class

Year 4 have worked very hard over the last two weeks to design, make and evaluate bags. We hope you like them.

On Thursday 8th July we had a visit from two very special guests, Francis Firebrace and Nick Burman.
Francis Firebrace is an Aboriginal Australian from the Yorta Yorta tribe of Victoria. He taught us all about Aboriginal culture and beliefs. He is also an extremely talented artist and worked with some of our children to create outstanding pieces of Aboriginal art.
Nick Burman is a didgeridoo player from Northern England. Not only is Nick and excellent didgeridoo player but he was a fantatsic teacher too, he had Year 4 playing beauitfully in no time.
Check out the voicethread below to see what the children thought.

On Friday 25th June Year 4 held an Enterprise Afternoon. During the afternoon Year 4 sold goods and services to the rest of the school.
The event was very successful in a number of ways:
– The children really enjoyed devloping their stalls, creating posters, price lists and uniforms.
– The rest of the school enjoyed buying our goods and services and learned how to manage their own money.
– Finally, Year 4 made a profit of £286.59. The money we have made will be used to pay for an educational visit and we will also make a donation to the Jaipur Limb Campaign, Mozambique.
Please take a look at our stalls.

Thanks to our blog, we have been able to make links with an Australian school. The voicethread below contains questions and facts from Year 4 at Mount Scopus Memorial College. We have added answers to the questions and some facts about England.
We hope you enjoy listening to the voicethread and learn as much as we did.

Hi Australia,
We are very excited to be given the oppourtunity to learn from each other. Please post your questions and we will do our very best to answer as soon as possible.

Year 4

Last week we produced some beautiful Aboriginal art. We began by looking at art by Aboriginal artisits. Then we designed our own pictures using Aboriginal signs and symbols. We used beans and peas to create the dappeled effect.
We hope you like our work.
Look out for the whale, the kookaburra, the platypus, the kangaroo, the snake and the turtle.

Year 4.
