Welcome to the Deers' class page!
Welcome to the Deers' class page. This half term we are learning about 'The Seaside' and we will be reading the book: Somebody Swallowed Stanley.
Seaside Locations
Why do we love to be beside the Seaside?
In Y1/2 Deers, that is what we plan to find out this half term as we head to the UK coasts to explore the seaside. We will learn about the features we might find there, use directional and locational language while looking at maps and research the most popular seaside locations.
English: This half term, we will be exploring the book 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley' and having a go at writing about some of the creatures we learn about.
Maths: In Maths, we will be looking at statistics, money and fractions.
Science: In Science, we will be asking the question 'Which plants and trees might we find in our school grounds?'. We will be exploring the school grounds to find a range of common garden plants and trees, looking at their features and drawing and labelling them.
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 ar encourage 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.
