Happy Friday, everybody and it has been a very chocolatey week in Key Stage 1! We made our chocolates this week and all the classes were very much like Mr Wonka's factory with many Oompa-Loompas busy working away! The chocolate is currently setting ready to be packaged next week!

Red Nose Day - Comic Relief Big 40th Birthday Bake!
This year marks 40 years of Comic Relief. Next Friday there will be a cake sale to raise money and children are asked to bring in a few cakes if possible (homemade or shop bought) to be sold during the day.
Cakes will be sold at 50p a cake so if you would like your child to take part please bring in money for this and a box if they are buying more than one cake to bring home.
Below is a link to our Just Giving Page if you wish to donate money in this way but please note that this is separate to the cake sale - children will need to bring in money if they wish to buy a cake!

Maths Homework
This week, we would like you to look at pages 44 & 45.
For Year 1's this continues to focus on mass or weight (we do not make a distinction between the two terms in Key Stage 1). Again, explore this idea practically - get a range of toys and see if you can compare them in terms of how heavy they are. Order these from lightest to heaviest, reinforcing the different language as you go.
For Year 2's this focuses on ways in which we measure. Explore how we use different units to measure different aspects of an object. Try measuring different objects using a ruler to the nearest cm, look at food and drink packaging to see the weight and volume of different objects and use a weather website to see how we measure temperature in degrees Celsius. If you record any of these ideas, pop them in your homework book - we love to see all your efforts at home!
Don't forget to keep reading at home and do the next page in your comprehension homework books.
Have a great weekend!
Best wishes,
Mr Jude, Mrs Yuille, Mrs Holmes & Miss Smith
