We will be learning about our locality beyond the school gate, building on our knowledge and understanding from Year 1. We will explore our local area using first-hand observation to enhance our locational awareness along with developing essential map and fieldwork skills. In particular, we will look at how the history of Radstock and Writhlington has shaped the way it looks today.
 

We are going to be continuing to develop our understanding of the number system in Maths and for much of this term we will be focussing on Number - Place Value. One of our initial objectives is counting in 10s and developing from 2 digit numbers to 3 digit numbers. We will work a lot on this in class but it would be great if you could practise this at home too.
