Team FOSS (year 4)

Good afternoon,

The children have worked incredibly hard this week completing their challenge papers and the LKS2 Team are feeling so proud of them for the brilliant determination and positive attitudes they have shown! In history, we looked at the question ‘Was life the same for all Maya people?’ and explored the social structure in Mayan society. The children loved starting to complete their own simple circuits to make bulbs light and buzzers buzz - they are starting to feel like true electricians! 

Coming up the week after half term:

Team Foss have their sharing assembly on Wednesday afternoon.

English - Next week we will begin some more narrative writing inspired by a video prompt.

Creative Curriculum - We will be looking at the question ‘What did the Maya believe?’. 

Maths Year 3 -We will be placing fractions on a numberline between 0 - 1 and using repeated addition of unit fractions to make non-unit fractions, including making a whole. 

Maths Year 4 - We are still focusing on labelling a range of mixed number number lines and explaining the meaning of each fractional 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.
