Welcome to Sheppard Class
We are a mixed Year 1/2 class who have a very exciting year ahead.
Our class teacher is Mrs Murt, and we have support from Mrs Rogers, Miss Foster and Mrs Murphy throughout the day. We also have Mr Cassidy working with us as he trains to become a teacher.
Reading is a big focus this year to improve our phonics, fluency and writing. We would appreciate it if you could read with your child daily to ensure they are making progress.
During the Spring term we will be learning about coastlines in our Geography lessons, how plants survive in Science and how to draw and print flowers in Art. In PE, we are focusing on ball games and in Computing we are programming Beebots.
Please follow us on Twitter to find out more about what is going on in our classroom.
If you have any questions, please get in contact with me through the school office.
Thank you
Mrs Murt

Curriculum Overview:
RE - Why did Jesus welcome everyone?
The aim of this unit is to increase our children's awareness that Jesus was an extraordinary person who welcomed everyone as a friend and he had the power to miraculously heal people.
Geography - Coastlines
This project teaches children about the physical and human features of coastal regions across the United Kingdom, including a detailed exploration of the coastal town of Whitby, in Yorkshire.
