In the Reading Planners there are a list of practice words for the children to read and write at home.

Maths

We are continuing the unit comparing quantities, part-part-whole relationships. The children will learn that items can be compared using length and height, mass and volume/capacity. They will compare sets of objects using equality/inequality symbols. They will also explore part-part-whole relationships with representations.

Science

We will continue with our unit on Seasonal Changes and begin a new unit called Zoology. This includes learning to identify and name a variety of common animals including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, and describe and compare the structure of them.

I hope you have a brilliant week!
