Topics Over Year
English:
Over the year, we will study a range of fiction, poetry and non-fiction texts to enhance our understanding of text structure, vocabulary and author's purpose.
Using the reading we have experienced, we will produce a range of writing including:
- We create riotous rhymes producing a range of riddles and nonsense poems.
- We'll explain how the human heart works.
- Using a range of suspense techniques, we will keep you on the edge of seat with our 'Alma' stories.
Maths:
This year we will revise and consolidate our knowledge of place value, refine and extend our written strategies of calculation, find factors, multiple and prime numbers, and understand the relationships between fractions, decimals and percentages.
Everyday we practise and develop our fluency skills through daily arithmetic sessions.
Additionally, we will explore properties of shape including angles, area and perimeter, measurements and time.
We will apply our understanding of our mathematical skills through a range of reasoning and problem solving activities.
