English/Read Write Inc Children follow Read Write Inc – a fast paced, rigorous and structured phonics programme. Children read fiction and nonfiction texts for meaning developing fluency and expression at their level of phonic
understanding and knowledge. Children acquire a wide vocabulary through the carefully selected reading books and develop their speaking and listening skills daily. The Read Write Inc writing programme
is linked to the reading books and includes spelling, grammar and handwriting. When a child is sufficiently confident in phonics they join a Literacy programme.
Sentence Work
-Understand how words can combine together to form sentences.
-Join words and clauses using ‘and’.
-Sequence sentences to form short narratives.
Punctuation
-Separation of words with spaces
-Capital letters and full stops to demarcate sentences.
-Question marks and exclamation marks to demarcate sentences.
-Capital letters for names and for the personal pronoun I.

Maths The Number System: getting started 4 weeks
Numbers can be represented in different ways using objects, pictures or
numerals. This unit (and whole term) is all about visuals, images and
models of number. Their stable order must be known and their numeral
or name does not always give us a clue about their value e.g. 14.
Our number system is base 10. The teens numbers must be seen as ten
and one, ten and two and so on. The position (place) of a digit in a
number determines its value. We can place numbers on a track, line or
100 square to compare them.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra + and – 4weeks
= means ‘equivalent’, ‘the same as’ or ‘balances’. Understanding this
before other symbols are introduced helps children make sense of
equations written with = in different positions. We can compare
numbers using > or < .
We can partition numbers into two or more parts. We can add two or
more of these parts in any order (commutativity).
We can add or subtract by counting on or back in ones BUT knowing
the ‘story of a number’ can help us add or subtract by calculation! Use
a whole-part model (Numicon , 10 frames, Cuisenaire) to picture
addition and subtraction. Relating numbers to 5 and 10 can help us to
add by calculating, using bonds.
Geometry 1 week
The properties of a shape tell us what name it should have and helps us
to group shapes with the same or similar properties.
Shapes have the same names and properties when they are at different
orientations or scaled to a different size (still congruent).
2D shapes are closed shapes. 3D shapes are made up of 2D faces.
The Number System: Fractions of shapes & fractions as numbers2 weeks
Fractions are equal parts of a whole which can be a whole shape.
Fractions can also be counted like any other numbers!
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra all operations (B); measures 3 weeks
We can add or subtract by counting on or back in ones BUT knowing
the ‘story of a number’ can help us add or subtract by calculation! Use
a whole-part model (Numicon , 10 frames, Cuisenaire) to picture
addition and subtraction. Relating numbers to 5 and 10 can help us to
add by calculating, using bonds.
Repeated addition can also be understood as multiplying and counting
in ‘groups of’.

Calculating, Patterns & Algebra X and Division 3 weeks
The concept of ‘fair shares’ is quickly grasped by children and
will have been covered in Reception as a first exploration of
division. Children now need to develop the big idea of
‘unitisation’ where they count in ‘groups of’ a number.
Division can be seen as ‘how many groups of…in…’. The
inverse relationship can also be explored through arrays.
Children learn about doubling as ‘two groups of’ and
counting in other ‘groups of’ numbers. Division can be
explored as the inverse through ‘grouping’, as well as
‘sharing’.

Maths
The Number System: Two digit numbers 3 weeks
Our number system is base 10. The teens numbers must be seen as
ten and one, ten and two and so on. The names of numbers don’t
always give us a clue about their value or how we write them as
symbols. The position (place) of a digit in a number determines its
value.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra + and – 4 weeks
Children must understand = as ‘equivalent’, ‘the same as’ or
‘balances’. Empty box problems can support this key idea, as can
writing equations in different ways, altering where the = is placed.
We can partition numbers into two or more parts. We can add two
or more of these parts in any order (commutativity). Sometimes it is
more efficient to put the larger number first but not always. Numbers
can be partitioned, the parts added, then recombined.
Calculate don’t count on in ones! Knowing the ‘story of a number’
can help us add or subtract by calculating not just counting on. Use
a whole-part model to picture addition and subtraction. Relate
numbers to their parts (partitioning) and to multiples of 10 to bridge
multiples of ten. E.g. 8 + 7 = 8 + 2 + 5
Drawing bar models will help children to picture which operation to
do. Sometimes it’s more efficient to ‘take away’ and sometimes it’s
more efficient to ‘find the difference’ when subtracting.
Geometry 1 week
The properties of a shape tell us what name it should have and helps
us to group shapes with the same or similar properties.
Shapes have the same names and properties when they are at
different orientations or scaled to a different size (still congruent).
2D shapes are closed shapes. 3D shapes are made up of 2D faces
The Number System: Fractions as numbers;
Geometry: position; Measures: time 2 weeks
Fractions are equal parts of a whole which can be counted like any
other numbers!
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra X and Division 3 weeks
The big idea is one of ‘unitisation’ where children count in ‘groups
of’ a number. Division can be seen as ‘how many groups of’. The
inverse relationship can also be explored through arrays. The first
stage of this is understanding doubling as ‘two groups of’, relating
his to the 2X table, and understanding halving as the inverse.
Children recognise and begin to memorise 10X tables, seeing 5X
tables as half of these facts. Patterns should be noticed to help
memorisation.
Statistics 1 week
Data is collected with a question or purpose in mind. Tally charts
collect data over time. Data can be grouped in different ways.
The Number System: Whole numbers to 100; Measures 2 weeks
The position (place) of a digit in a number determines its value.
We can partition numbers into tens and ones. We can position
numbers on a number line to see their value relative to other
numbers.
We need standard units of measure in order to compare things
more accurately and consistently.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra + and –; Measures 3 weeks
We can partition numbers in different ways and into two or
more parts. We can add two or more of these parts in any order
(commutativity). Drawing bar models will help to picture which
operation to do. Calculate don’t count! We must look at how
the numbers relate to each other (whole-part bar models)
before deciding which to add first, or whether to take away or
find the difference. This is how the inverse is explored. 15 – 8…
think what needs to be added to 8 to make 15? 15 is the whole
and 8 and 7 are the parts.
Coin sizes don’t show their value. 100 1ps make up £1.
Statistics 1 week
Data is collected with a question in mind and can be
represented in different ways. You can use a chart or graph to
answer questions. Pictograms can represent one or more than
one unit of data.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra: X and ÷ 3 weeks
‘Unitisation’ means children count in ‘groups of’ a number.
Division can be seen as ‘how many groups of’. The inverse
relationship can also be explored through arrays. These whole/
(equal) part relationships can be drawn using bar models.
Children find patterns and links between the 2 and 4 X tables,
and the 5 and 10 X tables. They can use these facts to find
division facts. Doubling and halving by partitioning two digit
numbers and recombining (distributive law) lays the foundation
for later multiplication.
The Number System: fractions of numbers; measures 2 weeks
Fractions are equal parts of a whole. This whole can be a
shape, amount or a number. Partitioning or ‘fair share’ problems
when each share is less than one, gives rise to fractions as does
measuring when the unit is longer than the item being
measured.
Measures: Money 2 weeks
Change can be found when subtracting amounts of money.
Often, ‘find the difference’ is the most efficient strategy.
The Number System: Numbers to 100 and beyond; Measures 3
weeks
The position (place) of a digit in a number determines its value.
We can partition numbers into tens and ones. We can position
numbers on a number line to see their value relative to other
numbers. We need standard units of measure in order to
compare things more accurately and consistently.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra + and – 3 weeks
We can partition numbers in different ways and into two or
more parts. We can add two or more of these parts in any
order (the law of commutativity). Drawing bar models will help
to picture which operation to do. Calculate don’t count! Use
whole-part and relationships to see how numbers relate to
each other. This is how the inverse is explored. We must look at
how the numbers relate to each other before deciding which
to add first, or whether to take away or find the difference.
We need standard units of measure in order to compare things
more accurately and consistently.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra: X and ÷ 3 weeks
The inverse relationship of X and ÷ can be explored through
arrays and problems can be solved by using these facts. These
whole/ (equal) part relationships can be drawn using bar
models. Children find patterns and links between the 2 and 4 X
tables, and the 5 and 10 X tables. Doubling and halving by
partitioning two digit numbers and recombining (distributive
law) lays the foundation for later multiplication.
Dividing numbers which are not multiples of your divisor results
in remainders.
Measures Time 2 weeks
Time is measured different units/bases from what we are used
to with metric measures. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60
minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day etc.. Therefore children
need to use number lines to help them efficiently calculate
time differences.
Geometry 1 week
The properties of a shape tell us what name it should have and
help us to group shapes with the same or similar properties.
Shapes have the same names and properties when they are
at different orientations or scaled to a different size (still
congruent).
2D shapes are closed shapes.

Year 3
Maths
The Number System: Whole numbers to 1,000 3 weeks
The value of a digit is determined by its position in a number. Place value
must be explored in terms of the value of each digit and its overall value,
as well as its position relative to other numbers.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra + and – 3 weeks
Calculate don’t count on in ones! The big idea is using a whole-part
model to picture addition and subtraction. Relate numbers to their parts
(partitioning) and to multiples of 10 to bridge multiples of ten.
E.g. 8 + 7 = 8 + 2 + 5
15 – 8 should be tackled by thinking what needs to be added to 8 to
make 15.
This is the concept of ‘difference’.
Drawing bar models will help to picture which operation to do.
This should then be applied when calculating with larger numbers.
Geometry & Measures 1 week
Children can develop benchmarks to help them to estimate measures.
E.g. The height of a door, the weight of a bag of sugar etc. The big idea in
geometry is that relationships – connections – are made between shapes.
They can be regular or irregular and can be categorised according to
their properties including vertices and side lengths.
The Number System: Fractions as numbers 3 weeks
Fractions are numbers! You can count in fractions just like numbers. They
express equal parts of a whole. Equal parts of shapes do not need to be
congruent but need to be equal in area.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra X and Division 3 weeks
Multiplication is related to times tables as repeated addition. The big idea
is one of ‘unitisation’ where children count in ‘groups of’ a number.
Division can be seen as ‘how many groups of’. The inverse relationship will
also be explored through arrays.
Statistics 1 week
Data is collected with a purpose in mind and can be represented in
different ways
The Number System: Whole numbers to 1,000 2 weeks
The value of a digit is determined by its position in a number.
Place value must be explored in terms of the value of each
digit and its overall value, as well as its position relative to
other numbers.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra + and – 3 weeks Calculate don’t count on in ones! Use whole-part and
relationships to see how numbers relate to each other. This is
how the inverse is explored. Drawing bar models will help to
picture which operation to do.
Mental methods of subtraction (finding the difference) should
be used when most efficient.
During this unit of work, decomposition subtraction (take
away) is introduced. The big idea here is that numbers can
be partitioned in different ways.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra: X and ÷3 weeks
The big idea explored in this unit of work is one of scaling:
When we multiply by 10, the product is 10 times larger. This
understanding is the basis for grid method and formal
multiplication.
The distributive law is also important as children explore how
numbers are partitioned, multiplied and recombined.
Multiplication and division’s inverse relationship is the basis of
solving division problems and finding remainders.
The Number System: fractions of numbers 2 weeks
Fractions are equal parts of a whole and you can find
fractional parts of a number. This whole can be an amount or
a number. We can find fractions of numbers
Geometry Angles & properties of shape 2 weeks
Angles are measure of a turn and the lengths of lines used to
show the angle do not change its size. Shapes can be regular
or irregular and can be categorised according to their
properties.

amounts of money. Often, ‘find the difference’ is the most
efficient strategy.

Measures Time 2 weeks
Time is measured different units/bases from what we are
used to with metric measures. There are 60 seconds in a
minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day etc..
Therefore children need to use number lines to help them
efficiently calculate time differences
The Number System: fractions as numbers2 weeks
Fractions are equal parts of a whole which you can count in!
Equal parts of shapes do not need to be congruent but
need to be equal in area. The other big idea introduced in
this unit of work is that our number system is base 10 and
decimal fractions 0.1 are linked to other fractions

The Number System: four digit numbers 3 weeks
The value of a digit is determined by its position in a number.

Statistics 1 week
Data is collected with a purpose in mind and can be represented
in different ways. Numerical data can be discrete or continuous.
The Number System: Fractions as numbers 2 weeks
Fractions are equal parts of a whole and they represent a
relationship between a whole and parts of a whole.
Equivalency: fractions that look very different in their notation
may be equal.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra X and Division 3 weeks
Many big ideas come together here!... Unitisation, scaling, inverse
relationships, partitioning and recombining and the distributive
law.
Multiplication can be related to times tables as repeated
addition. The big idea is one of ‘unitisation’ where children count
in ‘groups of’ a number. Division can be seen as ‘how many
groups of’ or sharing. The inverse relationship will also be explored
through arrays and bar models. Links must be made between
facts i.e. X5 half of X10.
The distributive law can be used to partition numbers in different
ways, multiply then recombine.
Measures 1 week
Children should develop benchmarks for different measures e.g.
the weight of a bag of sugar, the capacity of a mug, to help
them to estimate.
The smaller the unit, the greater the number of units required to
measure i.e. 10mm = 1m.
The Number System: decimal fractions 2 weeks
Fractions are equal parts of a whole and 1/10 = one whole
divided into 10 pieces. The other big idea introduced in this unit
of work is that our number system is base 10 and decimal
fractions 0.1 are linked to other fractions.

Equal parts of shapes do not need to be congruent but need to
be equal in area.
Geometry & Measures 1 week
Shapes are categorised according to their properties and can
belong to more than one category. Sometimes this is the
number of sides they have, or the sizes of their angles.
Shapes are still congruent if they are at different orientations
Area is another way of looking at multiplication and it has an
inverse relationship with side length (of rectilinear shapes).

The Number System: big and small numbers 3 weeks
The value of a digit is determined by its position. Place value must be
explored in terms of the value of each digit (additive partitioning)
and its overall value, as well as its position relative to other numbers.
Large numbers are named in patterns of 3. The number of digits in a
number does not necessarily make it larger or smaller e.g. 0.35 < 0.5
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra + and – 3 weeks
Can you do it mentally? The big idea is using a whole-part model to
picture addition and subtraction. Drawing bar models will help to
picture which operation to do. Rounding can help to get a sense of
the size of the answer or to find an equivalent calculation, then
adjust. Numbers should be looked at before a method is chosen to
decide which will be most efficient.
Measures 1 week
The smaller the unit, the greater the number of units required to
measure i.e. 10mm = 1m.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra X and Division 3 weeks
In Y5, the key is to understand the links between factors, multiples,
composite and prime numbers, rather than seeing these as separate
facts to be learnt. Factors and multiples are linked in an inverse
relationship. Making links and generalisations between facts is a
crucial step. If I know… I also know…
Many big ideas come together with written multiplication and
division!... Unitisation, scaling, inverse relationships, partitioning and
recombining and the distributive law.
Children must have a firm understanding of what multiplication and
division are from previous years, as well as their inverse relationships.
They must also see how fractions are connected to division.
The Number System: Fractions as numbers 2 weeks
Fractions are equal parts of a whole and they represent a
relationship between a whole and parts of a whole.
Equivalency: fractions that look very different in their notation may
be equal or linked to the same idea.
Statistics 1 week
Discrete or continuous data is collected with a purpose in mind and
can be represented in different ways. The ways data is represented
can highlight different aspects and relationships. Inference and
deduction must be used and not just retrieval when interpreting.

The value of a digit is determined by its position in a number.
Place value must be explored in terms of the value of each
digit (additive partitioning) and its overall value, as well as its
position relative to other numbers. Large numbers are named
in patterns of 3. The number of digits in a number does not
necessarily make it larger or smaller e.g. 0.35 < 0.5
Calculating X and ÷; Patterns & Algebra; Measures 4 weeks
In Y5, the key is to understand the links between factors,
multiples, composite and prime numbers, rather than seeing
these as separate facts to be learnt.
Links should be developed using scaling: If I know… I also
know…
They must also see how fractions are connected to division.
Converting measures is about equivalence and requires
scaling by 10, 100 etc. Children develop benchmarks for
different measures e.g. the capacity of a mug, to help
estimate.
The Number System: fractions and % of numbers 2 weeks
Fractions are equal parts of a whole and % are parts per 100.
We can find fractions and % of numbers or amounts.
Equivalency: fractions that look very different in their notation
may be equal or linked to the same idea.
Calculating + and –; Statistics & Measures 3 weeks
The big idea is using a whole-part model to picture addition
and subtraction. Drawing bar models will help to picture
which operation to do. Rounding can help to get a sense of
the size of the answer or to find an equivalent calculation,
then adjust. Numbers should be looked at before a method is
chosen to decide which will be most efficient.
Measures of length, capacity and mass can be converted,
added and subtracted. Scales are just another form of
number lines.
Time is measured different units/bases from what we are used
to with metric measures. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60
minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day etc.. Therefore children
need to use number lines to help them efficiently calculate
time differences.
Geometry & Measures 1 week
Shapes are categorised according to their properties and can
belong to more than one category. 2D shapes in nets define
the 3D shapes they can fold into. 3D shapes have faces as
well as sides and vertices. Regular shapes have sides and
angles which are the same. Angles are measure of a turn and
the lengths of lines used to show the angle do not change its
size.
Area is a measure of square units but with rectilinear shapes, it
is linked to multiplication and it has an inverse relationship with
The Number System: decimal fractions 2 weeks
Decimals are an extension of our whole number system.
Decimals are a type of fraction. The number of digits in a
number does not necessarily make it larger or smaller e.g. 0.35 <
0.5
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra: all operations 4 weeks
All four operations are linked through inverse relationships.
They should be used in combination, in multi-step problems and
to check answers.
Geometry: position and direction 2 weeks
Directions and angles are measures of turns. Positions (co-
ordinates) are marked in a quadrant formed by axes found in
graph work.
The Number System: fractions as numbers 3 weeks
We can add, subtract, multiply and divide with fractions just like
we can with whole numbers. However, the answers we find may
challenge ideas we have about what happens when we
multiply or divide. It is useful to view multiplication as repeated
addition when dealing with fractions at this stage. Scaling may
also help i.e. ‘half as big as this’.

The Number System: big and small numbers 2 weeks
The value of a digit is determined by its position. Place value must be
explored in terms of the value of each digit (additive partitioning)
and its overall value, as well as its position relative to other numbers.
Large numbers are named in patterns of 3. However, decimals are
not necessarily larger if they have more digits.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra : all operations 4 weeks
Deciding which calculation method to use is supported by being
able to take apart and combine numbers in many ways.
The associative, distributive and commutative laws are useful in
making decisions and adjusting equations. Standard written
algorithms use the structures of the maths to produce efficient
methods of calculation.
Standard written multiplication involves a series of partial products
which are then recombined.
There are connections between factors, multiples and prime
numbers and between fractions, division and ratios.
The Number System: Fractions as numbers
Equivalence and calculating with fractions 2 weeks
Fractions express a relationship between a whole and equal parts of
a whole. Fractions that look very different in their notation may be
equal or linked to the same idea. Equivalent fractions are
connected to the idea of ratio: keeping the numerator and
denominator of a fraction in the same proportion creates an
equivalent fraction. Putting fractions in place on the number line
helps understand fractions as numbers in their own right
Statistics & Percentages (Ratio & Proportion) 3 weeks
Fractions express a relationship between a whole and equal parts of
a whole. Fractions that look very different in their notation may be
equal or linked to the same idea. Inference and deduction must be
used and not just retrieval when interpreting pie charts.
Calculating, Patterns & Algebra; Ratio & Measures 3 weeks
Ratio problems and problems with multiple unknowns can be
visualised using bar models. It is important to distinguish between
situations with an additive change or a multiplicative change (which
involves ratio).

Angles are a measure of turn and have relationships between them,
based on intersecting lines. They can be worked out from reasoning
The Number System; Measures 2 weeks
The value of a digit is determined by its position in a number. Place
value must be explored in terms of the value of each digit (additive
partitioning) and its overall value, as well as its position relative to
other numbers. Ordering decimal numbers uses the same process
as for whole numbers: looking at the value of the most significant
digits.
To read a scale, first work out how much Each mark on the scale
represents. The unit of measure must be identified before
measuring and has a bearing on the accuracy and practicality of
the measurement taken.
Calculating Patterns & Algebra: all operations; Position; Statistics &
Measures! 3 weeks
There are connections between factors, multiples and prime
numbers and between fractions, division and ratios.
Letters of symbols are used to represent unknown numbers in a
symbol sentence (i.e. an expression or equation) or instruction.
Usually, but not necessarily, in any one equation or instruction,
different letters or different symbols represent different unknown
numbers.
A value is said to ‘solve’ a symbol sentence if it satisfies it i.e. it
results in a true statement.
A linear sequence of numbers is where the difference between
neighbouring terms is constant. The relationship can be generated
in two ways: the rule can be recursive (finding one number based
on the preceding number) = term to term; or ordinal (the position
of the number in the sequence generates the term) = position to
term

Variance and invariance are important ideas. A set of
quadrilaterals may vary in the length of their sides and the size of
angles. However, there are a set of invariant properties which

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.
Electricity
associate the brightness of a
lamp or the volume of a buzzer
with the number and voltage of
cells used in the circuit
compare and give reasons for
variations in how components
function, including the brightness
of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers
and the on/off position of
switches
use recognised symbols when
representing a simple circuit in a
diagram.
Inspiration: Visit to the Science
Museum /create a light or santa
linked to Christmas
Evolution and inheritance
recognise that living things
have changed over time
and that fossils provide
information about living
things that inhabited the
Earth millions of years ago
recognise that living things
produce offspring of the
same kind, but normally
offspring vary and are not
identical to their parents
identify how animals and
plants are adapted to suit
their environment in different
ways and that adaptation
may lead to evolution.
Living Things and their
Habitats
describe how living things
are classified into broad
groups according to
common observable
characteristics and based on
similarities and differences,
including micro-organisms,
plants and animals
give reasons for classifying
plants and animals based on
specific characteristics.
