English
Children will read a range of different genres. They will think about how words are related by learning about synonyms and antonyms. When writing a text, they will carefully select vocabulary and use a variety of representational devices (including adverbials) to structure text. They will use a range of punctuation correctly, including semi-colons, colons, dashes and hyphens.

Mathematics
They will learn about negative, square and prime numbers. They will be multiplying and dividing with numbers up to four digits, using formal, efficient methods. They will be doing more complicated work with percentages, decimals, fractions. Children will also start to learn about proportion , ration then to algebra. They will need to measure the volume, area and perimeter of different shapes and convert between units of measurement.

Science

Children will learn about humans and animals in further details. They will learn to use scientific names for some major organs of body systems and their positions. They will be able to describe the main functions of the major organs of the body and its importance.

They will also learn about living things in their environment in further details. They will explore how humans have positive and negative effects on the environment such as loss of species and protection of habitats. They will also explore several ways of caring for the environment such as recycling, reducing waste, reducing energy consumption, not littering and encouraging others to care for the environment. They will know how food chains can be used to represent feeding relationships in a habitat and present these in text and diagrams. They will also understand the terms ‘producer’, ‘consumer’, ‘predator’ and ‘prey’. Thus, they will be able to explore and construct food chains in a particular habitat.

Besides that, children will learn about materials changes in further details. They will be able to distinguish between reversible and irreversible changes, explore how solids can be mixed and how it is often possible to separate them again. They will observe, describe, record and begin to explain changes that occur when some solids are added to water. They will explore how, when solids do not dissolve or react with water, they can be separated by filtering, which is similar to sieving. They will also explore how some solids dissolve in water to form solutions and, although the solid cannot be seen, the substance is still present.

Furthermore, children will learn about forces and motion in further details. They will distinguish between mass measured in kilograms (kg) and weight measured in newtons, noting that kilograms are used in everyday life. They will also recognise and use units of force, mass and weight and identify the direction in which forces act. Thus, they will be able to understand the notion of energy in movement. They will also recognise friction (including air resistance) as a force which can affect the speed at which objects move and which sometimes stops things moving.

Moreover, children will learn about electricity and magnetism in further details. They will investigate how some materials are better conductors of electricity than others and how some metals are good conductors of electricity while most other materials are not.

They will explore why a beam of light changes direction when it is reflected from a surface.

Besides that, children will also learn about the earth and beyond in further details. They will Explore, through modelling, that the sun does not move; its apparent movement is caused by the Earth spinning on its axis. Thus, they will know that the Earth spins on its axis once in every 24 hours and takes a year to orbit the sun, spinning as it goes.
