Maths
Over the next few weeks, we will be concentrating on place value, looking at numbers up to 1000. This week, children will look at number lines and will start to find 100 more/100 less of a number. We will also be comparing numbers to 1000, particularly looking at the place value of each number.
Homework
Homework will be given to your child every Monday and will be collected the following Monday. Children will take home a comprehension booklet and will be expected to complete one text a week. We will then mark the comprehension together, giving the children the opportunity to discuss their answers. Verbal feedback will be given to each child.
