Numeracy: What we will be covering: What we will be targeting: What you might like to do at home: To interpret negative numbers in context, count forwards and backwards with positive and negative whole numbers through zero. know and apply multiplication and division facts to 12 x 12 derive squares and squares of multiples of 10 using multiplication facts identify all factor pairs of a given number using knowledge of division facts To identify, describe and represent the position of a shape following a reflection or translation using the appropriate language, and know that the shape has not changed. To round any number up to 1,000,000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10,000 and 100,000. understand the term and definition of a prime number as having only two factors, 1 and itself, and that non-prime numbers are referred to as composite numbers establish that some numbers have factors that are also prime numbers – these are referred to as prime factors add and subtract fractions with the same denominator converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions when necessary e.g. 2/5 + 4/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5 Continue to practice times tables. Try to involve children where maths is apparent in ‘real life’ situations. E.g. money and temperature differences across the world, timetables, measuring Science: Properties and changes of materials What we will be covering: What you might like to do at home: Properties and changes of materials The children will be able to: compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution, and describe how to recover a substance from a solution use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metals, wood and plastic Any practical activities that might have a science link. E.g cooking; irreversible changes. Theme Learning (Art, Design and Technology, History, Geography): Mexico and the Mayans.
