Through practical activities, problem-solving, and reasoning tasks, the children will discover patterns and connections between these facts. They will use arrays, number lines, and manipulatives to deepen their understanding and apply their knowledge to real-life contexts. | |---| ![](https://www.egerton.cheshire.sch.uk/images/bb5d5932e58a32c3e534e856a20ec7b2.png) | **Science – Forces and magnets** This half term in Science, the children will be investigating forces and magnets, following the Developing Experts scheme.

This project encourages creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork while helping children understand how mechanisms work in everyday life. | |---| | **Music - Singing** In Music, the children will be developing their performance skills through festive Christmas singing. They will learn how to use their voices expressively and in harmony, practising rhythm, pitch, and control.
