We have had another busy week in Years 3 and 4. We have continued with our 'Great Outdoors' topic since the half term, looking particularly at Teignmouth and the surrounding area. Children have been planning their very own adventure story based in Teignmouth. Many of the town's iconic landmarks feature and we very much look forward to reading them!
In Maths, children have been looking at all things fractions! They have found fractions of shapes, numbers, equivalent fractions and have added and subtracted fractions with the same denominator. This week we are going to apply this knowledge to help us understand decimals, particularly tenths and hundredths.
We have continued looking at rocks in Science and have been writing instructions for a group of builders on the materials required to build a house. Children have demonstrated their knowledge of rock types, their properties and their uses.
We thoroughly enjoyed sports day and were thrilled to have the best of the weather. Congratulations to all those who took part.
We are very excited for the village festival next week and have been practicing the songs in preparation. We look forward to seeing you there.
