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

Good afternoon,

This week the children have amazed us with their hardwork and determination completing their challenge papers. Well done LKS2 team! In English, the children have written some great urban explorer guide instructions using adverbs and adverbial phrases. In Science, the children loved getting their hands dirty by exploring their soil and seeing what it made out of. 

Next week: 

This will be our first Learn Through Week of the year! Each year we have 3 weeks where whole school learning is focused around a specific theme. The theme for this week is charities. LKS2 will be mainly looking at the issue of homelessness and how we can support those in need. 

English: We will be writing an independent set of instructions to create a Rural Explorer Guide using our Ravenscar trip as inspiration. 

Maths: We are continuing to look at measurement and converting different measurements. 

PE Year 3: Children need to come dressed in PE kit on Wednesday & Friday. Children need to wear a pair of plain black or navy blue jogging bottoms or shorts, a plain white t-shirt and a plain black or navy blue hoodie. Children need to wear suitable shoes for PE (trainers or plimsolls).  

PE Year 4: We go swimming on Wednesday. Children need to come to school in their uniform and bring their swimming kit in a bag. Children need to come dressed in PE kit on Friday.
