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

Good afternoon, 

Wow! What a busy week it has been this week! The children all spent some time in their new teams for September which is always a great opportunity to get to know their new teachers, teammates and spend time in their new classrooms. We also were treated to the Staynor Stars Show! It was lovely to cheers on the class representatives and enjoy the talents on show! And finally we ended the week with Sports Day! The children all did so well joining in and giving the activities a go for their teams. 

Creative Curriculum: We will look at the question: ‘What were Mayan settlements like?’

English: Children will finish their independent writes inspired by The Lighthouse Keeper. 

Maths: We will be continuing looking at improper fractions.
