Team FOSS (year 4)

Good afternoon,

The children have had an extremely busy week. We started the week by learning about Maya beliefs and compared these to other time periods we have learnt about. The children started to plan their narratives and have been excited thinking about what language features they can include. We really enjoyed getting creative and making bracelets to sell at the summer fair! We were so proud of the teams on sports day, it was so much fun and great to see all the team spirit. It was lovely to see so many of you supporting your children. 

Next week:

There is a training day on Friday.

Team Derwent’s sharing assembly is on Wednesday.
