In mathematics this week we will be working on time. We will work towards being able to tell the time to the nearest minute and to compare analogue and digital time.

In topic time we will look at why earthquakes happen. We will use dominoes to create buildings and model the effects of earthquakes.
In Science we will look at how fossils are formed.
In RE we will learn about the reasons Jewish people believe it is important to care for the environment. We will be looking at how the importance of trees is shown through the festival of Tu B’Shevat.
