In Maths, our focus is on time, hours, minutes and seconds. We will be looking at elapsed time, such as how long does it take to play cricket, make the bed, pour a drink or sleep.

In Religion, we are finishing our unit Followers of Jesus and heading into Lent. As we enter the season of Lent, we are invited into a time of reflection, renewal, and deeper connection with God. Lent is not only about giving something up—it’s about making space for what truly matters.
