This is something you could get practising at home! Within our angles topic we will be learning how to identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle. Within our Mass and Capacity unit we will be learning how to measure the weight of an object and to use equipment to do this.
In Science, we will be continuing our plants topic and we will be learning about the different parts of the flower, pollination and seed dispersal.
This half term we will be learning about the importance of rivers and why they are important to our life on Earth. In our theme lessons, we will learn about how the water cycle works and where and how rivers start and the journey they take across the land. We will also be learning about how rivers change over time due to erosion and deposition.
