• Homework

Welcome to the Deers' class page!

   Welcome to the Deers' class page. This half term we are learning about 'Hot and Cold Places' with a focus on the continents, the oceans and physical and human geographical features of a place. We will be reading the book: Lost and Found.

Hot and Cold Places

Why can't a penguin live near the equator?

In Y1/2 Deers, that is what we plan to find out this half term as we explore the earth. We will learn about the continents and oceans, identifying the coldest places in the world and looking at the physical and human features we would find there.

English: This half term, we will be exploring the book 'Lost and Found' and will be having a go at rewriting the story. 

Maths: In maths, we will be looking at number and place value before moving onto addition and subtraction.

Science: In Science, we will be asking the question 'How are humans and animals similar?', We will be looking to identify and classify animals before focussing on the human body and our 5 senses.

General Year 1/2 Class Information

Homework:

Reading: Please use your login to access Oxford Owls online, where your child's allocated reading books and quizzes will be waiting for them. The children are encouraged to bring home books from our class library as often as they like to read and share with you at home. 

Maths: Your child will receive a My Maths login which will be their online access to weekly maths homework. They also have access to Numbots and TT Rockstars.

Spelling:  The childrens' spelling quiz words are linked to the phonic patterns that the children will be learning in their Phonics lessons. They will be given on a Friday for a quiz the following Thursday. Also, we will be concentrating on the 'Year 1 and 2 Common Exception Words' in class. These are words that don't follow the phonic patterns but are used frequently and are useful to be able to read and write fluently. 

Class Dojo Homework:

This can be found in the homework tab at the top of the screen. While this is not compulsary, it's a great way to learn more about our topic and earn Dojo points to convert in our shop at the end of term. Children will also be able to share this in our Dojo assembly.
