Autumn 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 ‘Seal Surfer’ by Michael Foreman and for the second half term, we will be reading ‘Winter's Child' by Angela McAllister. Both of these texts lend themselves to some fantastic descriptive writing. Alongside this, we have weekly 'Pathways to Read' lessons where we will be looking at features of non-fiction in the 'Sea Book’ by Charlotte Milner and immersing ourselves in Robert Swindells' winter classic - Ice Palace. 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, our focus will be on place value where the children will be learning; how to read and write numbers in words and numerals, compare and order numbers, find more or less than a given number and count in multiples of 50 and 100. We will then move on to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Children will use mental and written methods to answer calculations and to solve problems in involving the four number operations. The children will also continually work on times tables – your support with this is much appreciated!
