Maths

During our Maths lessons, we will be learning about ratio and proportion. We will also be familiarising ourselves with how to calculate the volume of a shape, as well as the area of a triangle. Furthermore, the children will start to become more familiar with how to identify scale factor and solve problems involving statistics.

English

In English, we will be studying the book Manfish; we will be using the book to inspire our own poetry, persuasive pieces and biographical writing. We will also be carrying out role play for a radio broadcast. In SPAG, we will continue to try to include the passive voice and formal and informal vocabulary within our written work.

They will also recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information from millions of years ago.

We will also be finding out about the significance of the slave trade to British life.
