Termly subject coverage – Summer 1 2026
This term we will be learning about:
Maths – This term the children will be completing their work on mass, capacity and temperature. They will then start to look at fractions and telling the time:
- Recognise and find ½.
- Recognise and find ¼.
- Recognise and find 1/3.
- Recognise the equivalence of a half and two quarters.
- Recognise and find ¾.
- O’clock and half past.
- Quarter past and quarter to.
- Tell the time past and to the hour.
- Tell the time to 5 minute intervals.
- Minutes in an hour and hours in a day.
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 –
Our text for Summer One is ‘Billy & the Beast.’ We will be ensuring all different punctuation taught in KS1 is used effectively. We will be working on our descriptions of both characters and settings especially at using expanded noun phrases. The children will be given lots of opportunities to show off the skills they have been working on over the past few months to write creatively. We will finish the half term by re-telling the story of ‘Billy & the Beast.’
