Team FOSS (year 4)

Good afternoon,

In History this week, we learnt what Maya settlements were like, focusing on human and physical features. It was so interesting to learn that the Maya sometimes settled by volcanoes! The teams worked incredibly hard in English to independently write their final jungle narrative paragraph. In Science, the children became electricians and continued to identify and name parts of a simple series circuit.

Coming up the week after half term:

Next week the teams will be completing challenge papers to show off everything they have learnt this year.

Year 4 will be completing their Multiplication Tables Check on Wednesday.  

Creative Curriculum - We will be looking at the question ‘Was life the same for all Maya people?’. 

Maths Year 3 -We are continuing our work on non-unit fractions and will use our knowledge of this to find one whole. 

Maths Year 4 - We are labelling a range of mixed number number lines and explain the meaning of each part.

PE Year 3- This week York Knights are coming in for PE on Wednesday. Please can Year 3 come in PE kits on Wednesday and Friday.

PE Year 4 - Year 4 have PE on Tuesday and Friday and need to come in their PE kits on these days. 

PSHE Year 3 -  We are learning that in humans a mother carries the baby in her uterus (womb) and this is where it develops.

PSHE Year 4 - We are continuing to learn why menstruation happens in women once they reach puberty. 

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