Team DERWENT & dOVE & Foss (YEAR 3 & Year 4)

Good afternoon,

We have had a brilliant second week back in school and it’s been great to get back into a routine. In History, the teams enjoyed learning about what Prehistoric homes were like and how they developed through this period. The children used adjectives and expanded noun phrases in English to describe a setting. In Science, we looked at the five food groups and healthy diets and used this knowledge to create and design a healthy plate including all food groups. 

Next week:

Curriculum: We will be using our geography knowledge within our history topic to learn about where Prehistoric people settled. 

English: Next week we will be writing another setting description using prepositions to add detail and description.

Maths: We will be starting our next unit on place value and will be looking at 100 and what it is composed of (eg. ten 10s, one hundred 1s, four 25s)

PSHE: 

Y3: To know how to identify positive things in my life and identity worries and how I could overcome them.

Y4: To know how to identify positive things in my life and identity worries and how I could overcome them.

PE:

Dove: Monday and Wednesday

Derwent: Wednesday and Friday

Children need to come dressed in PE kit for the whole day. Children need to wear a pair of plain black or navy blue jogging bottoms or shorts, a plain white t-shirt and a plain black or navy blue hoodie. Children need to wear suitable shoes for PE (trainers or plimsolls).  

Homework has been set today and is due in next Friday.
