Curriculum Letters
Term 3
Art Day: Printing.
Our skill in year 4 is to create a print with three layers. We have been inspired by the American artist, Alisa Burke. She is known for her expressive work that incorporates doodles, florals, graffiti, and abstract patterns. She draws inspiration from street art, graffiti, art history, and fashion, and is always looking for new ways to break the rules and redefine art.
SCIENCE
Our Christmas chocolate coin pouches with a fastening.
DT - Textiles: Fastenings
Personal Development: We met our local MP, Helen Whately, and asked her questions about her role as a Member of Parliament. The children thought of some wonderful questions to ask. Some of the children are now interested in following in her footsteps!
Davington Church - Experience Christmas
Personal Development: Faversham Charters and Magna Carta
Personal Development: Our exciting day out to Canterbury College! We took part in robotics and engineering workshops.
