Maths

This half term in maths we'll be focussing on converting between decimals, percentages and fractions! We will be using our prior knowledge to convert tenths, hundredths, thousandths and other key fractions!

Reading

We'll be reading the Greek myths: Daedalus and Icarus and Odysseus and the Cyclops; we'll also read some non-fiction texts about Zeus, Cronus, Pandora and Cerberus. Finally, we'll look at two songs from the Evan Hansen musical. 

Writing

This half term we'll be a climax to the Perseus and Medusa myth, a short diary entry from the perspective of a Trojan soldier in the Trojan War, and we'll also be writing a speech - we'll look at some key figures, such as Greta Thunberg and Martin Luther King Jr, who have made particularly important speeches.
