Summer 2
In English, we will be continuing to write our diary entries using A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare as our stimulus. We will then move on to exploring the question, “Can I show how the use of speech can move the story on effectively?” using A Midsummer Night’s Dream once again as our focus text. We will complete our English work by writing non‑chronological reports, which will link to our geography unit on earthquakes.
In maths, we will be continuing with fractions. We will then move on to converting units and finally to angles, where we will be using protractors.
