Welcome to the Deers' Class Page

   Welcome to the Deers' class page. This half term we are learning about Traditional Tales and our Local Area of Nantwich. In Literacy we will be reading the book: Goldilocks and Just the One Bear. To support our Topic learning, we will be using the text: Naughty Bus.

Our Local Area

What would the Naughty Bus see if it took a trip round Nantwich?

In Y1/2 Deers, that is what we plan to find out this half term as we learn about the key geographical features of Nantwich and the area surrounding our school. We will learn about addresses and postcodes, use and create our own aerial maps, look at different road signs and what they mean, and also look at cities within the UK and their proximity to Nantwich. To finish off this Geography topic, we will also learn about different modes of transport, thinking about which transport would be best for different journeys. 

English: This half term, we will be exploring the book 'Goldilocks and Just the One Bear' and having a go at writing our own versions of the story by changing the characters or the setting. 

Maths: In Maths, we will be learning about Time, Mass, Capacity and Postional/Directional Language.

Science: In Science, we will be asking the question 'How does the weather change throughout the year?'. We will be finishing off our learning about seasons and seasonal changes - earlier on in the year we learned about Autumn and Winter. This half term we will be concluding our learning by looking at Spring and Summer. 

Design and Technology: This half term we will be learning about healthy and unhealthy food choices. We will then be having a go at designing and making our own healthy packed lunches. 

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 this year 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: Children are encouraged to read a minimum of 3 times a week at home. The children are encouraged to bring home books from our class library as well as their phonics book, to read and share with you at home. 

Maths: Your child has access to Numbots and TT Rockstars and their log in details can be found in their reading records.

Spelling:  The childrens' spelling quiz words will be given on a Friday for a quiz the following Friday. 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.
