Summer 2025

English: We are looking forward to focusing on two fantastic texts with the children this term. For the first half term, we will be exploring ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker. This is a wordless picture book full of magic and adventure that we will use as inspiration for some wonderful descriptive writing. For the second half term, we will be reading ‘Zeraffa Giraffa’ which is an astonishing true story about a Giraffe who was sent, as a gift, to France in 1826. We will be using this text to help develop our narrative writing and to create informative leaflets for tourists visiting Paris. Alongside this, we have weekly 'Pathways to Read' lessons where we will be looking at features of non-fiction in Usborne's ‘Illustrated Atlas of Britain & Ireland’ and spotting similarities between the classic tale and ‘Egyptian Cinderella’ by Shirley Climo. These whole class reading sessions are designed to really expand the children's reading skills and develop their comprehension and understanding of the texts they encounter.   

Here is the overview of books we will be reading as a stimulus for our English lessons:

Maths: For the beginning of this term, the children will continue developing their understanding of ‘mass and capacity’. The children will measure, compare, add and subtract mass (kg and g) and capacity (l and ml). We will then move on to think about ‘time’. The children will be learning how to: tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including Roman numerals (I to XII); how to tell the time using a 12-hour clock and also begin to use the 24- hour clock; estimate and read time to the nearest minute. Later in the term, we will be looking at ‘property of shapes’ during which the children will identify right angles, whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle and identify horizontal, vertical, perpendicular and parallel lines. Throughout the term the children will continually work on their times table - please continue to practice the 3-, 4- and 8-times tables at home with your child.
