Termly subject coverage – Spring One 2026  

This term we will be learning about:

Maths – Each week we will be completing work from different areas of maths.

On a Monday, the children will complete work on their CLICs and SAFEs. They will spend time looking at the previous week’s work, discussing any mistakes/ misconceptions and making the necessary corrections. They will then complete the new tests, using their new understanding to continue to make progress.

Tuesdays - Fridays

Time will be spent on multiplication:

• Recognising equal groups;
• Making equal groups;
• Adding equal groups;
• Multiplication sentences;
• Arrays;
• The 2 times table and dividing by 2.
•  

Time will also be spent on money:

• Counting pence and pounds;
• Choosing notes and coins;
• Making the same amount;
• Compare amounts of money;
• Calculate with money;
• Make a pound;
• Find change and two-step problems.

Reading –

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

For children who are ready to take the next step, comprehension sessions take place where a text is read and discussed in detail. The children then answer questions to test their overall comprehension skills.

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 –

We will be writing a diary entry and a short story expressing feelings and empathising with the characters. We will then be moving onto the story Handa's Surprise to write a short narrative.
