Speaking and listening

Taking varied roles in groups gives them opportunities to contribute to situations with different demands. They, also learn to respond appropriately to others, thinking about what has been said and the language used.
Reading
Pupils read widely and use their knowledge of words, sentences and texts to understand and respond to the meaning. They increase their ability to read challenging and lengthy texts independently. They reflect on the meaning of texts, analysing and discussing them with others.
Writing
Pupils develop an understanding that writing is both essential to thinking and learning as well as enjoyable in its own right. They learn the main rules and conventions of written English and start to explore how the English language can be used to express meaning in different ways. They use the planning, drafting and editing process to improve their work and to sustain their fiction and non-fiction writing.

They discuss and present their methods and reasoning using a wider range of mathematical language, diagrams and charts.
