Termly subject coverage – Autumn 2 2026

Maths – Each week we will be completing work from different areas of maths. On a Monday, the children will complete their CLIC and SAFE tests. Time will be spent looking through their previous tests, making corrections and addressing any misconceptions. Tests from the previous week will be sent home to share with parents.

Areas being covered:

10s and 1s on a number line to 100.
Estimate numbers on a number line.
Compare numbers and objects.
Order objects and numbers.
Count in 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s.
Mixed addition and subtraction.
Compare number sentences.
Missing number problems.
2D and 3D shapes.

Reading –

Every day the children will have a phonics session where all the sounds are learnt; words are segmented and blended back together. Time will be spent completing phonic activities and reading texts to suit each child’s reading level.

The children are given time to read in school and take the Accelerated Reading tests when they have finished and understood their book. These tests ask the children questions to clarify their understanding and only allow them to move onto the next stage when ready. We would like each child to read one book per week and at least 3 pages per night.

Writing –

This half term, we will be working on:

Using capital letters and full stops correctly.
Writing clear, well-structured sentences.
Identifying and using nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs.
Developing handwriting skills, focusing on correct letter formation, consistent letter size and correct letter orientation.

Science:

This half term the children will continue to learn about Humans and then explore a variety of materials.

Creative Curriculum:

Geography (WIDER WORLD) Australasia

History (MODERN HISTORY) Victorians

Art and Design (DRAWING AND PAINTING)

Design Technology (FOOD and EATING 1)

Spellings –

The children have now all been given their spelling booklet which lists the spellings to be learnt each week until next half term. Each week a spelling test will take place on a Friday and then the new spelling list will be introduced.
