Team FOSS (year 4)

Good afternoon,

This week we started our new topic of ‘What’s life like in Poland?’ and began our new non-chronological report genre of writing in English. The children have enjoyed looking at the different layout and language features of this style of writing and have started researching facts about Polish cities, landscapes and entertainment. In Geography, we located Poland on a map using compass directions. To celebrate British Science Week 2024, we learnt about animal adaptations and camouflage and had a go at camouflaging our own moths around the classroom! 

Creative Curriculum: This week we are continuing our new topic of ‘What’s life like in Poland?’ We are going to focus on physical features in Poland and how it is similar to the UK. 

Maths Year 3 - We are continuing our topic on multiplication and looking at relationships between the three and six times tables.
