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

Good afternoon,

It has been another busy week in LKS2 this week! The children have worked really hard to complete most of their final challenge papers of the year and we are so proud of them for their determination and dedication to their learning this year. This fantastic attitude has really contributed to the progress they have made across the year. We are also incredibly proud of our Year 4 children who have completed the Multiplication Tables Challenge (MTC) this week. They have worked so hard all year to build up their times table knowledge and develop their fluency for rapid recall. In Science we enjoyed completing an investigation into the impact of suncream on the sun’s UV rays - very relevant with this warmer weather lately! In PE we enjoyed another Rugby session with the York Knights
