Speaking

• Choose and prepare poems or stories for performance, identifying appropriate expression, tone, volume and use of voices and other sounds.
• Explain process or present information, ensuring that items are clearly sequenced, relevant details are included and accounts are ended effectively.
• Sustain conversation, explain or give reasons for their views or choices.
• Develop and use specific vocabulary in different contexts.

Word structure and spelling 

• Spell high and medium frequency words.
• To begin to recognise a range of prefixes and suffixes.

Understanding and interpreting texts 

• Identify and make notes of the main points of section(s) of text.
• Infer characters’ feelings in fiction and the consequences in logical explanations.
• Identify how different texts are organised, including reference texts, magazines and leaflets and on paper.
• Explore how different texts appeal to readers using varied sentence structures and descriptive language.

Engaging and responding to texts 

• Share and compare reasons for reading preferences, and in the process extending the range of books read.
• Empathise with characters and debate moral dilemmas portrayed in texts.
• Identify features that writers use to provoke readers’ reactions.

Creating and shaping texts

• Use beginning, middle and end to write narratives in which events are sequenced logically and conflicts resolved.
• Write non-narrative texts using structures of different text-types.
• Use layout, format graphics and illustrations for different purposes.

Text structure and organisation

• Signal sequence, place and time to give coherence.

Sentence structure and punctuation  

• Show relationships of time, reason and cause through subordination and connectives.
• Clarify meaning through the use of exclamation marks and speech marks.

Presentation 

• Write with consistency in the size and proportion of letters and spacing within and between words, using the correct formation of handwriting joins.

Using and applying mathematics

• Solve one-step and two-step problems involving numbers, money or measures, including time, choosing and carrying out appropriate calculations.
• Follow a line of enquiry by deciding what information is important and make and use lists, tables and graphs to organise and interpret the information.
• Identify patterns and relationships involving numbers or shapes, and use these to solve problems.
• Describe and explain methods and solutions to problems, orally and in writing.

Counting and understanding number

• Read, write and order whole numbers to at least 1000 and position them on a number line; count on from and back to zero in single-digit steps or multiples of 10.
• Partition three-digit numbers into multiples of 100, 10 and 1 in different ways.
• Round two-digit or three-digit numbers to the nearest 10 or 100 and give estimates for their sums and differences.
• Read and write proper fraction, interpreting the denominator as the parts of a whole and the numerator as the number of parts; identify and estimate fractions of shapes; use diagrams to compare fractions.

Knowing and using number facts

• Derive and recall all addition and subtraction facts for each number to 20, sums and differences of multiples of 10 and number pairs that total 100.
• Derive and recall multiplication facts for the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11 times-tables and the corresponding division facts; recognise multiples of 2, 5 or 10 up to 1000.
• Use knowledge of number operations and corresponding inverses, including doubling and halving, to estimate and check calculations.

Calculating

• Mentally add or subtract combinations of one-digit and two-digit numbers.
• Develop and use written methods to record, support or explain addition and subtraction of two-digit and three-digit numbers.
• Multiply one-digit and two-digit numbers by 10 or 100, and describe the effect.
• Understand that division is the inverse of multiplication and vice versa; use this to derive and record related multiplication and division number sentences.

Understanding shape

• Relate 2-D shapes and 3-D solids to drawings of them; describe, visualise, classify, draw and make the shapes.
• Draw and complete shapes with reflective symmetry; draw the reflection of a shape in a mirror line along one side.
• Read and record the vocabulary of position, direction and movement, using the four compass directions to describe movement about a grid.
• To identify right angles in 2-D shapes; compare angles with a right angle.

Measuring

• Know the relationships between kilometres and metres, metres and centimetres, kilograms and grams, litres and millilitres; choose and use appropriate units to estimate, measure and record measurements.
• Read, to the nearest division and half-division, scales that are numbered or partially numbered.
• Read the time on a 12-hour digital clock and to the nearest 5 minutes on an analogue clock.

Handling data

• Answer a question by collecting, organising and interpreting data; use tally charts, frequency tables, pictograms and bar charts to represent results and illustrate observations; use ICT to create a simple bar chart.
