• Homework

Welcome to the Deers' class page!

   Welcome to the Deers' class page. This half term we are focussing on 'Natural World' and exploring a variety of plants. We will be focussing on the book: The Last Wolf.

Our Natural World

Can plants grow on beaches?

In Y1/2 Deers, that is what we plan to find out this half term as we explore plants and how they grow in our world. We will be exploring different seeds and bulbs and finding out what they grow into. We will then be investigating what a plant needs to grow where we will make predictions and complete lots of fun experiments.

English: This half term, we will be exploring the book 'The Last Wolf' and will be writing a persuasive letter. 

Maths: In maths, we will be looking at fractions and money before moving onto time.

General Year 1/2 Class Information

School uniform: Please ensure that all items of clothing are labelled with your child's name. 

Snack: Your child can bring in their own healthy snack for our 10:25am break or we have a selection of fruit in school that they can choose from.

PE: Our class PE days for Spring are Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Please ensure that your child comes to school wearing their PE kit on these days. School uniform is not needed.

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.
