Year 3/4 news 23.06.23

This week has been very busy! We have started doing some of our assessment booklets to show everything that we have learnt this year so far. We have been practising our reading skills to help us answer a range of questions about a text in English. In Maths, we have been learning all about shapes. We have identified three different types of triangles and found out all the properties of a range of quadrilaterals including parallelograms, rectangles, squares etc. For our RE topic of Buddhism, we have been learning about the 6 different festivals that are celebrated by Buddhists around the world. We concentrated on understanding why and how they celebrate these special events in the calendar. In Science, we began an investigation to understand how and why different materials decompose. We buried a range of materials and each class is keeping their tray in different conditions to see which will help them decompose the quickest. 

Which conditions do you think the materials will decompose best in?
