Welcome to the Deers' class page!

   Welcome to the Deers' class page. This half term we are learning about 'Life in a Victorian School' with a focus on how it was different to school now. We will be reading the book: The Curious Case of the Missing Mammoth.

Life in a Victorian School

How was life in a Victorian school different to school now?

In Y1/2 Deers, that is what we plan to find out this half term as we go back in time to the Victorian Era. We will learn about life in a Victorian school, focussing on the differences for girls and boys, games that were played and how it differs to school life now.

English: This half term, we will be exploring the book 'The Curious Case of the Missing Mammoth' and will be having a go at writing our own Adventure Story. 

Maths: In Maths, we will be looking at multiplication and division (2's, 5's and 10's) before moving on to length and height.

Science: In Science, we will be asking the question 'What materials do we use in our everyday lives and how can these be changed?'. We will continue exploring a range of everyday materials and investigating how they can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching.

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.
