Year 1 and 2 Squirrels 2024 - 2025
Welcome to Squirrels class page!
Our topic for the Autumn term is Heroes. We will be exploring what it means to be a hero, in everyday life and fictional. In History, we will be looking at the lives of Neil Armstrong, Tim Peake and Katherine Johnson.
Reading/Phonics:
Children will have daily reading sessions either phonic or comprehension focused. A reading book will be brought home regularly for you to support your child at home with their fluency and developing as a reader. Any reading done at home can be recorded in the reading records.
Homework:
Your child’s homework will be set on Google Classroom and will be available on a Friday. Children will be set English or Maths homework on alternative weeks. Where possible, the homework set will link to the area of learning we have covered in class that week. Once completed a picture can be uploaded to Google Classroom for marking. If your child has any problems with the homework set, please let us know and we can go through it with them at school. Also if a paper copy is needed please ask.
PE:
The children will have PE on a Tuesday afternoon. Please can you ensure your child comes into school wearing their PE kit on this day. They will then stay in their PE kit for the whole day.
I look forward to a fantastic year with you all!
Mrs Axon and Mrs Waters
