Team DERWENT & dOVE (YEAR 3)

Good afternoon,

In History this week, we learnt where the Maya lived, learning about the equator, northern and southern hemisphere and lines of latitude. In English, we collaborated in pairs to write our second paragraph of our narratives. We used a range of conjunctions to extend our ideas and give more detail. In our Electricity Science unit, we enjoyed identifying and naming basic parts of a simple series circuit.

Coming up the week after half term:

Creative Curriculum - We will be looking at the question ‘What were Maya settlements like?’. 

English - We are continuing our narrative writing. The teams will be independently writing their third and final paragraph, using inverted commas and conjunctions. 

Maths Year 3 - We will be comparing and ordering unit fractions. 

Maths Year 4 - We are explaining how to express quantities made up of both whole numbers and a fractional part and explaining how a quantity made up of whole numbers and a fractional part is composed.

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 nature it is usually the female that carries the baby. 

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

As it is half term, there is no homework set this week. We hope you all have a wonderful week!

Don’t forget to keep checking Twitter to see what learning we have been up to! 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office. 

Thank you for your continued support,
