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

Good afternoon,

In English this week, the teams started their independent volcanic eruption disaster story, using subordinating conjunctions, inverted commas and varied sentence openers. In Geography, we used topographical maps to look at where and why landslides and avalanches happen. In Science, we looked at our findings from last week’s melting points investigation to write our scientific conclusion. 

Next week we will be completing our challenge papers, we are looking forward to seeing the progress the team have made.
