To start our school year, children will be focusing on numbers within 100 where they will learn to represent, order, compare and partition numbers. Secondly, the children will be looking at part-whole models and comparison of quantities.

Science

In our Science topic, the children are learning about The Animal Kingdom. Animals come in all shapes and sizes. They live in different places like jungles, oceans, and even our homes. Some animals fly, some swim, and others walk on land. Each has unique features, like fur or scales. Learning about the animal kingdom helps us understand the incredible variety of creatures on Earth. We are off on a school trip to Dudley Zoo this term as part of our science learning.
