We will also look at time, first starting on o clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to- moving on to 5 minute intervals and problem solving around time. Our wider Math focus will be on measuring specifically volume and capacity and looking at parallel and perpendicular lines.

Topic: Our topic this term is 'Marvellous materials ' . We are sure that the pupils will love learning about the different types of materials, looking at recycling and how important it is to pur environment and recucing plastic pollutioin in our oceans. Spring 1- we will be specifically looking at materials and carrying out an experiment to discover which material will be the best insulator.
