In English we are reading Macbeth by William Shakespeare himself! (It is abridged.)

We will be writing a setting description, a poem based on the witches’ spell and a recount from the scene of a horrible crime!

In Maths this term, we are exploring place value with numbers to one million.

We are also rounding and will be further developing our understanding of the four operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

We will be learning about the properties of materials this term.

We will look at the different types of materials and and the vocabulary to describe them. We will be exploring how materials can change.
