ARP - Hazel Class

Children attend the ARP from Key Stage One (years 1 and 2). Therefore the ARP curriculum incorporates both topics from across these year groups as well as incorporating skills from EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage), where appropriate.

Our Learning Journey This Term

Welcome to the ARP- Hazel Class

Summer Term 2 2026

This half term we will begin by reading Little Red Riding Hood by Mandy Ross. We will have fun acting out the story and creating our own story maps. We will make stick puppets to help us to retell the story and write sentences using our phonics to help us. We will then explore an alternative version- Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion by Alex T Smith. We will ask questions to find out about lions and write our own animal fact files. We will also listen for rhyme and explore rhyming words through The Spell Shell by Roderick Hunt.

In phonics we will be revisiting and strengthening our understanding of the Phase 3 digraphs and trigraphs. We will be applying our knowledge of these sounds when blending for reading and segmenting for spelling. We will continue to learn to recognise the Phase 2 and Phase 3 ‘tricky words’ by sight.

In maths we will be exploring position and direction, using vocabulary like on, under, above, below, behind, in front of and next to. We will extend our adding and subtracting by counting on or counting back using number tracks and number lines. We will build fact families using addition and subtraction and practise our number bonds to 10 and then 20.

At home please keep counting to 30 and beyond to practise saying the number names in order. Alex T Smith has written and illustrated lots of fantastic picture books- look for these in your local library and read them with your grown-ups!
