Knowledge Organisers
English
English
In our English lessons this term, we will be reading Friend or Foe by Michael Morpurgo.
We will use the story of David and Tucky (two evacuees from London) to inspire our writing. This will include informal letters, newspaper reports and diary entries. As part of our non-fiction writing, we will also be completing a non-chronological report about a 1940s house.
We will be thinking about using adventurous word choices and varying our sentence structure to ensure our writing is interesting for our reader.
In Guided Reading, we will be using a range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry extracts further develop our comprehension skills and gain more knowledge of our World War Two history theme.
Maths
This term, we will be consolidating our knowledge of place value. This will include ensuring we understand the place value of numbers to 10,000,000, rounding and placing numbers accurately on a number line.
We then move on to mental and formal methods for addition and subtraction before completing calculations and word problems involving multiplication and division.
Homework completed on Maths.co.uk will help your child to consolidate the learn we have completed in class.

Maths
Science
This term, our Science topics are Light and Electricity. We will be building on learning already completed on both of these topics earlier in KS2.
By the end of this half term, we will be able to:
​
-
recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines
-
use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye
-
explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes
-
use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them

Theme
Our theme for this term is World War Two. As part of this theme, we will be investigating the question: What was the impact of the Second World War on Nantwich and surrounding areas?
We will be busy investigating timelines of key events and studying maps of our local area, both past and present. In addition to this, we will be visiting the Brampton Museum later on in the term.
