Numeracy

We will then be learning how to multiply a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number before moving onto our unit of length and perimeter where we will be learning to measure in mm, cm and m and how to measure perimeter.
With your child at home you can help them by finding real life examples to encourage using their maths knowledge.

Curriculum
Our theme this half term is Spain. We will be locating Spain on a map and looking at where in the world it is placed. We will be looking at the similarities and differences between Spain and the UK. Through research we will study the culture of Spain and look at traditions that they carry on today such as bull fighting and form our own opinions around theses traditions. We will also study the physical and human geographical features of Spain.
Science
In Science, we will be learning about animals including humans. We will be identifying that humans including animals need the right types and amount of nutrition and that they cannot make their own food. We will identify that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection and movement. We will be categorising food into food groups and looking at balanced diets and how we can sustain a healthy lifestyle.
Please ask your child questions about their learning at home and ask them about key vocabulary they have been learning.
