Dear Parents,

We’ve officially completed our first full week of school, and Year 4 is well underway! It’s been a busy and exciting start. This week, we elected our school house captains and school council representatives.

In class, we’ve started exploring Greek Myths and Legends in English, diving into the fascinating world of gods and goddesses. In maths, the focus has been on place value, where the children are learning to read, write, and order numbers up to 10,000. Our science topic, ‘Animals including Humans,’ introduced us to the digestive system, while in art, we’ve been discovering Picasso’s work and experimenting with his techniques in our own creative projects.

Starting next week, our PE days will be Monday (fitness), Thursday (basketball), and Friday (football). Please ensure your child has their PE kit ready for these days. In science, we’ll be conducting an experiment to explore how different drinks affect teeth, while learning about the importance of dental care. In computing, we’ll be exploring networking and discovering how messages are delivered between systems.

It’s going to be an exciting week ahead! I hope you all enjoy your weekend!

Mr Chanter

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to a new year at Little Heath! It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know the children during our first week of the school year. I’m delighted to say that they have all settled in wonderfully, and they’ve also made me feel very welcome in my new role here.

This week, the children have been involved in a variety of activities, including creating postcards to share their Summer adventures, playing fun maths games, and crafting beautiful stain glass window artwork. It’s been a fantastic start, and I’m excited for the year ahead with such a wonderful group of children.

Looking ahead to next week, we’ll be diving into some exciting topics. In English, we will begin our first text on Greek Myths and Legends. In maths, we’ll be focusing on place value, where the children will learn to read, write, and order numbers up to 10,000. In science, we’ll start our topic ‘Animals including Humans,’ exploring life stages. In geography, we’ll be learning where our food comes from and its impact on the planet, while in art, we’ll be discovering Picasso’s work and experimenting with some of his techniques in our own projects.

I look forward to getting to know all of you throughout the year. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Have a lovely weekend!

Mr Chanter
