Where are you Derwent Class ?
Hi Derwent, I haven't had many emails this week or last, I would love to see what you are doing and have a photo to put on the blog so your friends can see too.
I have been in school as usual but I am also really enjoying having football to watch again. I am a Leeds United fan. Our first match didn't go so well but then we won our second match. So I'm really excited to see what happens in the rest of the season. Also, I have just booked a few days away in the Lakes in the Summer Holidays so I've got something lovely to look forward to. I'd love to hear what you've got planned for the Summer Holidays
Get in touch soon, Mrs Burton

Y3 Writing Unit (It is labelled as a Y2 unit but it is also suitable for Y3s)
Spellings - Common exception words
For the rest of this half term I would like the children to recap the set of tricky words it is expected for their year group to be able to spell by the end of the year. This is a chance to not only recap spellings but also work on handwriting too. Each week I would suggest a child does 1 page each from the booklets
Weekly Wider Curriculum Tasks
Geography - Now you know a little about which places are hot and cold in the world. I want you to choose one cold country to learn more about. Where is it? How would you travel there and how long would it take? What can you learn about the people, language, money, lifestyle, famous landmarks, things to do. How is it the same or different to Great Britain?
Present it in whatever way you want e.g. PowerPoint, poster, booklet, video
DT - Make - This week I want you to make your product - look at your plan to help you
Picture News - Virtual Assembly 27th June
Story: Many statues around the world have been questioned for their purpose and value in recent weeks.
Question: Why do we have statues?
RE Ongoing Task
We would like you to learn more about the Churches in your local area.
What are they called? How are they the same and how are they different?
Think about why they are special to some people. Talk to people who have been inside to find out more about what is the same and different inside and why that might be.
Can you work out what all or most Churches seem to have?
You could also research 1 or more of the Churches and find about their history
or even do some Art or DT work inspired by them.
