Crazy Coasts!
Crazy Coasts
Our coasts are fascinating places and give us a climpse of the ancient past. This half term we will explore the British coastline, learn about the geography and study the features of the Jurassic Coast. What will find? Will there be dinosaurs?

Marvellous Maths!
This half-term, the children will be completing work on 'position and direction' and 'time' before consolidating their maths knowledge learnt in Year 2. We will begin by describing movement through simple terms such as 'forwards and backwards' before moving onto clockwise and anticlockwise. Then, the class will focus on being able to tell the time to 5 minutes before applying it to finding the duration of events.
