Termly subject coverage – Autumn Term 2 2025     

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 their CLIC and SAFE tests. Time will be spent looking through their previous tests, making corrections and addressing any misconceptions. Test from the previous week will be sent home to share with parents.

Recognise 2D and 3D shapes.

Count sides on 2D shapes.

Count vertices on 2D shapes.

Sort 3D shapes.

Make patterns with 3D shapes.

Counting in 3s.

Addition and subtraction number 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 –

This half term we will start by reading the story of The Snowman and then working on some visual literacy focussing on a video of a Snowman taking a journey to get his friend a Christmas gift. We will be writing a diary entry and a short story expressing feelings and empathising with the characters. 

We will be working on:

- Handwriting

- Sentence structure

- Capital letters and full stops

- Exclamation marks and question marks 

- Nouns

- Adjectives 

- 2a sentences

- Verbs

- Expressing feelings

Science:

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

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 December half term. Each week a spelling test will take place and then the new spelling list will be introduced.
