Spring Term 2024
RIVERS!
This term, we will be learning about the Rivers of the World! We will be exploring the different parts of a river, how it meanders and flows to the mouth. We will be finding out which is the longest river in the world and the importance of the River Derwent! You will really enjoy this unit of learning! Our writing will be based upon a book called 'Escape to the River Sea' and is an exciting journey along the Amazon River!
Maths
This term, we will be building on our fractions and shape knowledge exploring length and perimeter. We will be using number lines, unit and non unit fractions and beginning to explore equivalent fractions. Our learning will move towards using decimals and exploring the relationship between them.
We will be practising our times tables regularly! We have a times table check test in the Summer term to work towards. At home, please practice your 6, 7 and 9 times tables ready to learn the rest in our Maths lessons.
