This term our topic would have been ‘Competitive Creatures’. Everyone who works in Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3 & 4) is currently working on a grid of activities you may wish to complete, over the next few weeks, related to this topic.
If you wish to, have a go at finding out about The Olympics and Ancient Greece as this would have been the basis of our learning. We are still adding to the activities grid but we are going to wait to put it up until we know what is happening with the re-openings of schools as this may be our focus when we go back. |
