Welcome to the Deers' class page!

   Welcome to the Deers' class page. This half term we are learning about 'Toys from the Past' with a focus on toys from the past and the present, comparing toys and using timelines. We will be reading the book: Nibbles the Book Monster.

Toys from the Past

Are iPads more fun than my grandparents' old toys? Why?

In Y1/2 Deers, that is what we plan to find out this half term as we explore toys from the past. We will learn about the toys our grandparents played with and compare these to what we play with now.

English: This half term, we will be exploring the book 'Nibbles the Book Monster' and will be having a go at writing a diary entry. 

Maths: In maths, we will be looking at place value (within 100) before moving onto shape.

Science: In Science, we will be asking the question 'How does the weather change throughout the year?', We will be looking to name the four seasons before focussing on the weather associated with Autumn and Winter.

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: 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 will be given on a Monday for a quiz the following Monday. 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.
