Curriculum
Please see what we will be learning about this year on our year group overview.
Maths
This half term, we will begin by developing a secure understanding of place value, including reading, writing, ordering and comparing numbers to at least 1,000,000. We will then move on to the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), focusing on formal written methods and applying them to problem-solving contexts. Children will then explore equivalent fractions, ordering and comparing, adding and subtracting fractions. Children will be encouraged to explain their reasoning and develop their mental fluency throughout.

Writing
In English, our focus will be on writing to entertain. We will start the term by recapping key Year 4 grammar objectives before moving on to explore Year 5 grammar, with a strong emphasis on transcription and handwriting to ensure accuracy and fluency in writing. Children will be working towards writing their own mythical story by the end of the half term. They will explore story structure, rich vocabulary, and a range of sentence types to engage their reader, while continuing to build confidence in editing and improving their work.

PE and Outdoor Learning
PE kit can be worn to school providing it is a full school track suit with a jacket and trousers. Otherwise, the children can come to school in their school uniform and bring in PE kit to change into at lunchtime.
Outdoor learning is on alternate Friday afternoons. Children will be provided with waterproof jackets and trousers, so no longer need to come in their own clothes. Ideally, they will leave wellies (or other suitable outdoor waterproof footwear) in school as we will be going outside on other days too, as part of our regular lessons. As the weather gets colder, a hat and gloves would be a great addition to their kit.
