    and determine the value of each digit
  • round any whole number to a required degree of accuracy
  • solve number and practical problems
  • perform mental calculations, including with large numbers
  • solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why
  • solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
  • recognise, describe and build simple 3-D shapes, including making nets
  • practise multiplication for larger numbers, using the formal written methods of short and long multiplication
  • perform mental calculations, including with large numbers
  • use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination
  • compare and order fractions, including fractions > 1
  • add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
  • 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
  • identify the value of each digit in numbers given to three decimal places and multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1000 giving the answers up to three decimal places
  • multiply decimals by whole numbers, starting with the simplest cases, such as 0·4 × 2 = 0·8, and in practical contexts, such as measures and money

Literacy - September - October 2023

Language & Literacy – In this half term we are learning to

  • understand what viewpoint is in a novel through: identifying the narrator, explaining how this influences the reader’s view of events

    demonstrate an understanding of viewpoint in a story or novel through activities such as role play, hot seating, conscience alley, thought tracking, etc.
  • rewrite an incident from a story or novel from another character’s point of view
  • know and understand the term ‘genre’ in relation to non-fiction texts: recount, non-chronological reports, instructions, explanation, persuasion and discussion (genre is determined by purpose)
  • know and understand the term ‘form’ in relation to non-fiction texts, e.g. letter, poster, recipe, editorial, newspaper article, moving image and digital text (form is determined by audience)
  • be familiar with a range of established authors and poets, be able to articulate a personal response and respond to and build on the views of others
  • plan, draft and redraft pieces of creative writing, some of which may be presented for publication
  • prepare a short section of story as a script, e.g. using stage directions, location/setting
  • understand how knowledge of root words, prefixes and suffixes may act as a as a support for spelling, e.g. aero, aqua, audi, bi, cede, clude, con, cred, duo, log(o)(y), hyd(ro)(ra), in, micro, oct, photo, port, prim, scribe, scope, sub, tele, tri, ex;
  • Revise the correct formation and joins of all lower and uppercase letters, preparing to use a pen.
