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

Good afternoon, 

It has been another busy week in LKS2! In English we did a shared write of our story before the children planned and wrote their own version. We also edited and improved our work and are ready to start our next independent write! In Maths, we started looking at improper fractions, sticking to quarters at first. We practiced being able to convert from an improper fraction to a mixed number. In our Creative Curriculum, we found out more about the Ancient Maya by using some of our Geography skills to locate where they were found, we learnt about ines of latitude and the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. In Science, we learnt about the life cycle of a flowering plant. 

Coming up next week: 

• Transition is on Monday and Tuesday. Children will spend these days in their new teams. 

• Sports Day has been rearranged for next Friday. 

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

Maths: We will be continuing looking at improper fractions.
