In reading lessons, pupils continue to develop their fluency and reading skills through a wide range of genres, including fiction, non-fiction and poetry.
Pupils also develop core reading skills through the range of texts they read:
Continuing their journey to becoming an author, children develop their writing knowledge of conjunctions, adverbials, apostrophes, written dialogue, and verb tenses. They continue to evaluate and edit their writing, assessing the effectiveness of their own and other’s texts. Children produce texts across fiction, non-fiction and poetry linked to a range of topics and themes.
In maths, children develop and deepen their understanding of number, including fractions and decimal value; measurement, including time; geometry and statistics. Children solve mathematical problems with increasing challenge, whilst developing their reasoning skills. Children’s knowledge of multiplication and division facts are consolidated as they learn multiplication and division facts up to 12 x 12.
As they approach Year 5, children are well-prepared for their transition into Upper Key Stage 2.
