• Homework

Welcome to the Deers' class page!

   Welcome to the Deers' class page. This half term we are heading back to the time of Queen Victoria to see what life was like. We will be focussing on the book: Major Glad, Major Dizzy.

Queen Victoria

Who was Queen Victoria?

In Y1/2 Deers, that is what we plan to find out this half term as we take a journey back to when Queen Victoria ruled. We will be looking at the life of Queen Victoria and key events that happened during her life. We will then use what we learn to compare Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth I.

English: This half term, we will be exploring the book 'Major Glad, Major Dizzy' and will be writing a diary entry. 

Maths: In maths, we will be looking at multiplication where we will concentrate on the 2's, 5's and 10 time tables.

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 Spring 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 are linked to the phonic patterns that the children will be learning in their Phonics lessons. They will be given on a Friday for a quiz the following Thursday. 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.
