MATHS

Mrs Morgan/ Mrs Harding

This week we are starting a new topic on AREA AND PERIMETER.

The children will be finding out how to find the area by counting squares and also by multiplying the width x length of a shape. We will also be finding the perimeter of shapes.

Timetables are essential for your child’s development and this cannot be stressed enough. Five minutes a day could really improve their Maths.
