Last Friday we were lucky enough to be paid a visit by Ranger Russ and some of his animal friends. We met some snakes, scorpians and other animals. On Monday we will be planning a recount about the afternoon which we will be writing on Tuesday.
On Wednesday we will be finally be starting our final unit on The Fisherman and his Wife.

Maths

We are continuing to recap all strands of the maths curriculum. We will be looking at shape this week.

Geography / science

We will be consolidating our understanding of habitats around the world using maps with different animals on them. For example, your children should now know that a polar bear cannot live in a desert habitat and why. We will also be consolidating locating and naming the seven continents and five oceans of the world (this time without an atlas)!

Science

We will also be looking at how humans can keep healthy e.g diet, hygiene and exercise.
