Spring 2 - 2025
What is Europe Like??
This term we will be be applying our map skills from last term, as we focus on Europe’s physical and human geography. In Maths, we will begin with work on fractions. We will explore the different parts of a fraction and unpick the vocabulary of numerator and denominator. In our work on mass and capacity, we will be looking at ‘appropriate unit of measures’, as well as measuring and comparing mass.
Reading!
Try to read at least a little bit every day. You could read a book from home, or check out a book online on one of these websites:

Oxford Reading Tree - Free Colour Banded eBooks to download. This link will take you to a Oxford Reading. Select : Level then Book Band then colour. Your child will know the colour book band they are on, so please select books from there to read at home with your child.
When reading with your child, it is important to talk about what they are reading. Here are four question prompts that can help a reading conversation:
- Tell me, is there anything you like about the book?
- Is there anything that you particularly dislike?
- Is there anything that puzzles you? Do you have any questions?
- Does it remind you of anything you know, in stories or real life?
