Recognise the place value of each digit in a two digit number (tens, ones)
Compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use <, > and = signs.

Addition and Subtraction: Recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently, and derive and use related facts up to 100.
Solve problems with addition and subtraction: using concrete objects and pictorial representations, including those involving numbers, quantities and measures; applying their increasing knowledge of mental and written methods.

Measurement-Money: Recognise and use symbols for pounds (£) and pence (p); combine amounts to make a particular value.
Find different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts of money.
Solve simple problems in a practical context involving addition and subtraction of money of the same unit, including giving change.

Solve problems involving multiplication and division, using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods and multiplication and division facts, including problems in contexts.

The Human Body: Children will look at some systems that operate within our bodies including the skeletal system, the muscular system, the digestive system and the circulatory system. They will begin to understand the important scientific concept of interconnection and will recognise that a system is a group of parts that work together, in a connected way, to create a function. Children will learn that our skeletons give our body shape, protect vital organs and help us to move. They will look at the shape of different bones in our body and begin to recognise their function. Children will also recognise that muscles have many important roles within our body, helping us to move and holding our skeletons together.
Living Things and their environments: Children will explore and compare the differences between things that are living and dead. Children will know what a habitat is, identify different habitats and describe how different habitats provide for the needs of different kinds of animals and plants. Using scientific vocabulary children will describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of a simple food chain, and identify and name different sources of food.
