In Maths, we will be continuing our work on fractions. 

Number – Multiplication and division

Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a one-digit number using the formal written method of short division and interpret remainders appropriately for the context. 

Number – fractions, decimals and percentages

• Multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers, supported by materials and diagrams.
• Read, write, order and compare numbers with up to three decimal places. Recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents. 
• Round decimals with two decimal places to the nearest whole number and to one decimal place. 
• Recognise the per cent symbol (%) and understand that per cent relates to ‘number of parts per hundred’, and write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100, and as a decimal.

We are continuing to learn about properties and changes of materials. By the end of the topic, children will be able to:

• Use understanding of properties to explain everyday uses of materials, for example, how bricks, wood, glass and metals are used in buildings.
• Explain what dissolving means, giving examples.
• Name equipment used for filtering and sieving.
• Use knowledge of liquids, gases and solids to suggest how materials can be recovered from solutions or mixtures by evaporation, filtering or sieving.
• Describe some simple reversible and non-reversible changes to materials, giving examples.

• Make clear connections between Christian belief in the Resurrection and how Christians worship on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
• Show how Christians put their beliefs into practice in different ways.
• Explain why some people find belief in the Resurrection makes sense and inspires them.

Indoor – Dance

Pupils learn different styles of dance, working individually, as a pair and in small groups. In dance as a whole, pupils think about how to use movement to explore and communicate ideas and issues, and their own feelings and thoughts. As they work, they develop an awareness of the historical and cultural origins of different dances. Pupils will be provided with the opportunity to create and perform their work. They will be asked to provide feedback using the correct dance terminology and will be able to use this feedback to improve their work. Pupils will work safely with each other and show respect towards others.

Outdoor – Invasion Skill - Tag Rugby

In this unit pupils will develop key skills and principles such as defending, attacking, throwing, catching, running and dodging. When attacking, pupils will support the ball carrier using width and drawing defence. When defending, pupils learn how to tag, how to track and slow down an opponent, working as a defensive unit. They will play collaboratively in both uneven and then even sided games. Pupils will be encouraged to think about how to use skills, strategies and tactics to outwit the opposition. They develop their understanding of the importance of fair play and honesty while self-managing games, as well as developing their ability to evaluate their own and others’ performances.

• Locate India on the world map and name several regions and cities. 
• Understand what population density is and compare different countries from around the world in terms of their population densities (eg most dense and least dense – why is this?)
• Describe the different biomes, climates and the effects of these on land use and (particularly) population density of different places within India (focus on Kerala, Mumbai – in Maharashtra - and Rajasthan) 
• Compare and contrast human and physical features, climate, land use, biomes and population density of the UK and India.

• Recognise and recall an increasing number of items of clothing.
• Explore the regular ‘er’ whole verb present tense conjunction of the verb ‘porter’ to describe what you and possibly somebody else is wearing.
• Revisit the use of the possessive adjective ‘my’ in French and describe clothes in terms of colour.

The focus for our PSHE sessions is:
Healthy, committed relationships.

The children will look at values of healthy relationships, diversity in relationships and the notion of commitment.
We will also look at law and consequences as part of our ‘living in the wider world’ unit.
