Brazil

Our topic this half term is Brazil/The Amazon – details below. There are opportunities for debate and the children to express their own opinion; it would be great if you could help your child develop their opinion on subjects such as deforestation and urbanisation.

During the half term in science, we will be looking at reproduction of mammals and of course, that includes humans. It is age appropriate (formal terminology is used) and we do discuss puberty and what is happening to their bodies. If you are worried about the content of these sessions then please let me know and we can discuss it.

Talk for writing – Persuasion - Deforestation

Maths - To begin the half term, for the first couple of weeks, we will be completing our unit on multiplication and division, looking specifically at multiplying 2, 3 and 4 digit numbers by 2 and 3 digit numbers. After this we move on to fractions, decimals and percentage which will last up until the summer 2 term.

General Reminders…

• The children will be doing PE on Monday outdoor and Thursday indoor. Please ensure your child comes to school in appropriate kit on these days.
• The children can bring their own water bottle to keep in class which they can access throughout the day and they will change their water regularly. Please make sure your child’s name is written clearly on their water bottle.
