Computing

We will be able to:

Science

We will continue to revisit areas of the KS2 curriculum, ready for KS3!

We use a knowledge organiser for every project in every year group. It is a helpful way for children and families to see the key knowledge that children will learn. This key knowledge helps the children ask more questions and then find out more information.

It would be helpful to talk with your child about this knowledge organiser. As the project develops, they will be able to share more knowledge. Thank you!

Some areas we will be learning include:

• solving problems area, perimeter and volume
• read and draw line graphs and pie charts
• translate and reflect shapes on a grid

Our main book this half term will be Private Peaceful.

Some areas of grammar and punctuation we’ll be learning include:

•  identifying and writing the subjunctive verb form
•  identifying and writing compound sentences with semi-colons
•  identifying and writing non-standard English for direct speech
•  identifying and using colons to introduce lists and to explain
