Maths
Our maths work this term will follow the White Rose scheme of learning, we will be looking at Number: Place Value.
To help develop children’s fluency in mathematics, we also ask each child to learn Key Instant Recall Facts each half term. We expect children to practise their KIRFs as part of their homework. Please work on the KIRFs for Spring 1.
