Summer 1
In English, we will begin by writing our own sinister twists for Hansel and Gretel, using the story book Hansel and Gretel by Neil Gaiman as a stimulus. We will then move onto writing diaries using ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ by William Shakespeare
In maths, we will be focusing on fractions. We will multiply a proper fraction by a whole number. We will also multiply an improper fraction by a whole number. Then we will multiply a mixed number by a whole number and use representations to describe and compare two fractions. We will explain the vertical and horizontal relationships between numerators and denominators within equivalent fractions.

Indoor PE will be every Monday.
Outdoor PE will be every Tuesday.
