Our learning next week

Next week we are going to be learning about...

• light and dark
• doubling and halving

We will be learning...

• to name some sources of light
• to know how to stay safe with light, for example, not looking directly at the sun
• to understand how we get night and day and talk about some differences between night and day
• how light can create shadows and how shadows can change
• to explore materials, including finding out whether materials are reflective or not and if they are transparent, translucent or opaque
• to find double and half of a number using objects
• to learn some double and half number facts by heart
• to solve some problems involving doubling and halving

You can help me at home by...

• exploring light and dark with me, for example, making shadow shapes on the wall
• looking at my shadow and at the shadow of things around us, talking to me about why we can't always see our shadows
• talking to me about night and day and some of the differences between them
