Welcome to the Deers' class page!

   Welcome to the Deers' class page. This half term we are learning about 'South Africa' with a focus on Cape Town and how it is similar and different to Nantwich. We will be reading the book: The Lion Inside.

South Africa

Why should you take a trip to South Africa?

In Y1/2 Deers, that is what we plan to find out this half term as we explore South Africa. We will learn about the location of South Africa and it's human and physical geograpical features. We will then compare Cape Town to Nantwich.

English: This half term, we will be exploring the book 'The Lion Inside' and will be having a go at writing our own Journey Story. 

Maths: In maths, we will be looking at addition and subraction (within 100) before moving onto multiplication and division.

Science: In Science, we will be asking the question 'Why aren't all objects made from the same material?'. We will be exploring a range of everyday materials and their properties.

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.
