In Maths, we'll be continuing our work surrounding fractions. In particular, we’ll be consolidating our knowledge by adding, subtracting, and multiplying fractions and mixed numbers.

Our English lessons will use our curriculum focus as the basis for our pieces of writing. As we did in our South America topic with our Rio Carnival travel brochures, we will use our knowledge from our history lessons to create a wide range of independent pieces.

We are continuing our biology focus next half term and beginning to look at evolution and inheritance. We will be diving deeper into scientific studies over time and the important figures who have shaped our world.

In our curriculum sessions, we'll be moving on from South America and working our way up to what is now central America and studying the Ancient Maya civilisation. This topic will truly test our ability to work like historians and use a wide range of sources to build our knowledge!

This half term, we are delving into two new sports that involve teamwork and a high level of coordination to be successful.

In order to explore our creativity, we will be immersing ourselves into the world of 3D animation and creating our own short, animated clip.

Each week, we will be setting homework on MyMaths for you to complete. We will send home your logins on your first day back after half term. There is also the opportunity to complete a creative challenge from the homework menu.
