In maths, we will begin by reviewing our learning on perimeter and measures (mm, cm and m) before consolidating and building upon our learning of multiplication and division to help us with fractions.

Number – Fractions
Review/consolidation of learning from Year 2 ready to extend learning next half term. This will include:

• Understanding whole/parts and making equal parts 
• Recognising and calculating ½, ¼ and thirds of shapes and numbers
• Exploring unit (the numerator is a one e.g. 1/3) and non-unit ( the numerator is more than one e.g. 2/3) fractions
• Counting in fractions

Measurement – Mass (grams and kilograms) and capacity (millilitres and litres)

• Measure in grams and kilograms
• Add, subtract and compare units of mass
• Measure in millilitres and litres
• Add, subtract and compare units of capacity

• Explain the function of the parts of a flowering plant
• Describe the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation, seed dispersal, and germination
• Give different methods of pollination and seed dispersal, including examples

Hinduism
Our Big Question: How can Brahman be everywhere and in everything?
We will understand the Hindu belief that there is one God with many different aspects. Alongside this, we will learn about the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva), explore stories of other Gods like Lakshmi and Ganesha and compare how Hindus see their Gods to how Christians do.

Indoor – Dance
Pupils will continue to create dances in relation to an idea including historical and scientific stimuli. Pupils work individually, with a partner and in small groups, sharing their ideas. Pupils develop their use of counting and rhythm. Pupils learn to use canon, unison, formation and levels in their dances. They will be given the opportunity to perform to others and provide feedback using key terminology.

Outdoor – Striking and Fielding - Cricket
Pupils we be taught by a visiting Cricket Coach. They will learn how to strike the ball into space so that they can score runs. When fielding, they learn how to keep the batters’ scores low. In all games activities, pupils have to think about how they use skills, strategies and tactics to outwit the opposition. In cricket, pupils achieve this by striking a ball and trying to avoid fielders, so that they can run between wickets to score runs. Pupils are given opportunities to work in collaboration with others, play fairly demonstrating an understanding of the rules, as well as being respectful of the people they play with and against

• establish good technique, posture and preparation for playing a piece
• the use of notes B and A and use them in tunes involving crotchets and minims. The lesson involves ‘call and response’ together with the elementary use of notation
• the new note G in context with earlier notes learnt and use all 3 in 2 new tunes. ‘Musical geography’ is encountered in one piece with repeated sections. Call and responding together with backing tracks.

• Artist – Antoni Gaudi

• Identify Romania on a world map 
• Describe some physical features in the UK and Romania (mountains, forests, rivers)
• Compare land use in Romania and the UK in terms of built up areas, agriculture and woodland.
• Compare the natural resources in Romania and the UK
