Welcome to Sycamore Class, Year 1/2!

Sycamore Class is a mixed Year 1 and Year 2 class. Our teacher will be Mrs Wheeler. Our teaching assistant will be the wonderful Miss Beth. 

Learning

This term in Maths, we will be focusing on the topic of place value and addition and subtraction, whilst continuing to engage in daily number fluency activities. 
In English, we will begin by focusing on sentence structure. After this, we move on to a book called "Once upon an ordinary school day" by Colin Mcnaughton & Satoshi Kiamura to inspire our writing, leading on to produce independent writing.

Information on all subjects can be found on the medium-term plan below. 

PE

This term, PE will take place on Monday afternoons. Please ensure children bring their PE kits with them.

We will take part in the Golden Mile on Tuesdays, so please ensure that all children have a pair of trainers in school. We will take regular movement breaks as required. 

Forest School 

Forest school will begin in the second week of term, Thursday afternoons, with the wonderful Mrs Howe. Please come to school dressed and ready to participate in forest school activites.

Homework

Please read with your child every day and make a note in their reading record. This is checked on a regular basis during the week.

Spelling homework will be sent home, once we have settled with the new phonics scheme.
