Environment

What makes our Environment special?

Another new term, and hopefully warmer, brighter days are coming. 

 

This term we will be welcoming Miss Burbidge to Hever Class and I know the children and Parents will all make her feel welcome as she settles in to the class and gets stuck in supporting the children.  

 

English

 

 

Maths 

This term we will be focusing on Fractions. Understanding what a Fraction is, how to make a fraction and equivalent fractions. We'll also look at Fraction families, converting Fractions and improper Fractions. A great excuse to make a cake at home and practise slicing it into equal fractions.  

 

Topic 

In Topic lessons we will be locating places on a large scale, identifying rainforest, draw conclusions between locations using photos, pictures and maps, in particular the rainforest close to the Equator. We will look at the significant differences and similarities between Rainforests.  We'll focus on the importance of each layer of the Rainforest, look at the types of animals that live in the Rainforest and delve deeper into Deforestation and Palm oil. 

 

Science 

Our Science this term is 'Living things and their habitats'. Within this Topic we will be Identifying the different types of trees based on their leaves, recognise environmental changes and apply our knowledge of Life Cycles. We will also have Science Week where we will take part in some fun, exciting and thought provoking activities.
