Writing
During this term, we will read ‘The Firework Maker's Daughter’ by Philip Pullman, exploring the language, character, setting and plot, and will use these as a stimulus for our own writing. In non-fiction, we will be analysing the language and structure of persuasive speeches and persuasive letters, and we will use what we have learnt to write our own; to help us with this we will be reading 'Anglo-Saxon Boy' by Tony Bradman.
Maths
During this term we will focus on the following aspects of mathematics:
Number: Place value
We will begin the year reading, writing, ordering and comparing numbers up to 10,000,000; rounding numbers; using negative numbers in context, and calculating intervals across zero.
Number: Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
We will be solving addition and subtraction multi-step problems; multiplying multi-digit numbers up to 4 digits by a 2-digit number using the formal written method of long multiplication; dividing numbers up to 4 digits by a 2-digit whole number using the formal written method of long division and short division; performing mental calculations, including with mixed operations and large numbers; identifying common factors, common multiples and prime numbers, and using our knowledge of the order of operations - BIDMAS.
Fractions
During this block, we will be using common fractions to simply fractions; using common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination; comparing and ordering fractions; adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers; multiplying simple pairs of proper fractions; dividing proper fractions by whole numbers; recalling and using equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages.
Geometry: Position and direction
During this week, pupils will learn how to describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all four quadrants); draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes.
Science
All living things and their habitats
Within this unit, we will learn about the kingdoms of life and how to classify living things within those kingdoms. We will then look more closely at vertebrates, fungi and yeasts, and soil habitats. We will also be growing mould and investigating mushroom spores!
Evolution and inheritance
Through this unit, we will explore the history of evolution to modern-day scientific innovations. We will look at evolution and the theory of Charles Darwin, as well as exploring natural selection. We will also focus on palaeontologist, Mary Anning, and what fossils can tell us about the past.
