Termly subject coverage – Spring 2 2026   

This term we will be learning about:

Maths– during Spring Term 2, the children will be working on:

• Their CLICS and Safe;
• Doubling and halving;
• Odd and even numbers;
• 5 times table and divide by 5;
• 10 times table and divide by 10;
• Measure in cm and m;
• Compare and order lengths and heights;
• Four operations with lengths and heights;
• Compare mass;
• Measure in gs and kgs;

Reading – Every day the children will have a phonics session where all of the sounds are learnt; words are segmented and blended back together; read green words which can be decoded phonetically and read red words that need to be learnt by sight. 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 – During this half term we will be covering letter writing and non-chronological reports on animals. We will be looking at expressing feelings through ‘Paddington’s Post’ and moving onto nonfiction writing on Andean Bears through our non-chronological reports. We will be focussing on

- using expanded noun phrases

- different types of sentences

- different punctuation marks

- the layout of a letter

- the layout of non-chronological reports

And continue our work on the basics (handwriting, capital letters and full stops.)

Science

The children will complete their work on ‘Materials’.

They will then move onto some work on sustainability:

• How is plastic helpful and harmful?
• How can we reduce the plastic waste in school?

After that, the children will complete some work on plants:

• Exploring plants;
• Plant parts;
• What do plants need to grow?
• Plan and investigate light and dark.

Geography – Waterways

History – World War One

Art – Sculpture

Spellings –

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