YEAR 1/2
MRS HOULSTON
Mrs Houlston has been with us since September 2021, and she is currently the RE and Music leader. She loves to make learning fun by exploring the outdoors and completing character building missions. One of her favourite subjects is Science because she enjoys investigating new technology and coming up with new inventions. Mrs Houlston is also passionate about drama and has taken part in many musicals.
The Year 1/2 class is supported by Mrs Lyon, who is an amazing teaching assistant. She makes learning fun and engaging for all our children. Mrs Lyon supports both in the classroom and works with small groups of children.
CURRICULUM INFORMATION
Each term we focus on a different topic. You can find more information about what we are learning at the beginning of each term on the curriculum planners at the bottom of this page.
HOMEWORK
In Year 1/2, children will bring home weekly Maths homework. The children will be given questions to recap on previous learning in class. If they complete their maths each week, they will receive an extra smiley.
Children will also be expected to read at home five times a week and complete two reading activities in their reading journals. Doing both of these will earn them 2 extra smileys.
During the half term holidays, children will be set half term projects to complete, based on their learning in class. Completing this will earn the children up to 3 smileys each. In the summer, our holiday homework usually consists of a Maths, English and topic based activity. For each activity completed, three smileys are earned with a bonus smiley for completing all three.
Please remember to check the Dojo page for regular updates and photos about what your child is learning in class and for whole school information.
