Welcome back. I hope you have had a relaxing Christmas and New Year despite current restrictions. Below is an overview of what we plan to learn this term whether that be at home or in school.
WWF’s Living Planet Report, released in 2018, revealed the scale of human
impact on our precious natural world. To support your understanding of this theme, we recommend watching The Netflix original documentary series
'Our Planet' which tells the story of the one place we all call home, because if we understand our planet, we can create a future where we all thrive.
For our Connected Curriculum this term, we will be learning about Our Planet and how the different biomes, species and natural systems of planet Earth connect and support each other to maintain human life. Most importantly, children will build their knowledge and understanding of sustainability issues, explore their own values and attitudes and develop key skills so that they feel empowered to take action in shaping a brighter future for our planet.
We will be learning how to:
In Maths this term, we will be working on:
- Fractions, Decimals and Percentages
Use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination
Compare and order fractions, including fractions > 1
Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
Multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers, supported by materials and diagrams
Multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form
Divide proper fractions by whole numbers
Use written division methods in cases where the answer has up to two decimal places
- Algebra
Generate and describe linear number sequences
Use simple formulae
Express missing number problems algebraically
Find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns
Enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables
-Ratio and Proportion
Solve problems involving unequal sharing and grouping using knowledge of fractions and multiples
Solve problems involving the relative sizes of two quantities where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication and division
Solve problems involving similar shapes where the scale factor is known or can be found
- Measurement - imperial and metric measures
Use, read, write and convert between standard units, converting measurements of length, mass, volume and time from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, and vice versa, using decimal notation to up to three decimal places
Solve problems involving the calculation and conversion of units of measure, using decimal notation up to three decimal places where appropriate
Convert between miles and kilometres
- SATs Practice
Welcome to Tower Hill!
My name is Mrs Gigg. I have returned to Powers Hall Academy after spending some time teaching in one of the other MAT schools, Templars.
I have three young children. I love to spend my spare time in Norfolk, enjoying the coast and being in the pine forest. One of my favourite things is to spend time with my family and friends probably because I am so out going and very social.
My name is Mrs Barton. I am new to Powers Hall Academy although I have worked for Connected Learning MAT for the last 4 years.
We are both enjoying getting to know the children this year and we will do our best to make their final year in primary school memorable, and to ensure they are fully prepared for secondary school.
