Termly subject coverage – Summer 1 2024

Maths – Each week we will be completing work from different areas of maths. The children will be given different types of arithmetic and reasoning questions to prepare themselves for the style of questions that could be asked within a test. This will allow the children to become familiar with a variety of questions and to be more relaxed when they sit their end of year tests. The children will sit the optional SATs tests and this information will support the final teacher assessment results.

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 looking at the texts ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and ‘Jack and the Baked Beanstalk’ making comparisons between the two. We will be focussing on lots of different skills and they will spend time producing a play script, re-telling each story and writing an alternative ending. We will continue to edit our writing, focussing on always making the best vocabulary choices.

Over the next half term we will continue to concentrate on using full stops, question marks and exclamation marks more independently. Presentation and letter formation is still a focus, ensuring our letter sizes are correct and there is a clear difference when using ‘tall letters’.
