3R

Welcome to 3R!

We are taught by Mr Roper with Mrs Lloyd and many other wonderful adults in school!

What are we getting up to in Spring 2?

Science - We're asking "Are we different or are we the same?"   We want to know about bodies, skeletons and nutrition.  

Geography - A study of the Peak District Vs Derby city.   What is it like to live in these places?  What are the physical and human features of these places? What is the same and what is different?   What kinds of jobs do people have in these places?

R.E. - We begin a new R.E. enquiry where we will learn about Easter and forgiveness.   Our key question is: What is 'good' about Good Friday?
