Maths
During the Summer term, much of our focus will lie with revisiting facts and skills learnt during the year so far and applying these to reasoning and word problems. We will begin the half term with a short unit on place value, before moving onto division and multiplication and finally looking at subtraction and addition. Many of our calculations will involve using and converting different units of measure, such as metric measures of distance (mm, cm, m, km) and money. Of course we will continue to practise out times tables.
English

Later we will move onto Tamarind and the Star of Ishta by Jasbinder Bilan. In writing, we'll cover instructions before moving onto to descriptive techniques.
