Team DERWENT & dOVE (YEAR 3)

Good afternoon,

LKS2 have had a great first week back after half term. We started the week with a fantastic DT day where the children learnt how to strengthen structures using girders, struts and beams. We unpicked the features found in diaries in English and then had a go at writing a diary entry from the perspective of a Roman soldier. In History, we looked at how the Romans changed Britain, looking at their different amenities and how these compare to ours today.

Creative Curriculum: This week we will be looking at how and why the Romans left Britain. 

Maths Year 3 - We are continuing to work on the column method and will begin to subtract. 

Maths Year 4 - We are moving onto our understanding and manipulating multiplicative relationships unit.

PE Year 3 -  We are continuing with our orienteering topic in PE. 

PE Year 4 - Children will be swimming on Wednesday and will need their PE kits on Friday.

PSHE Year 3- We are continuing our new topic of ‘Healthy me’. This week we are looking at making healthy food choices.
