Amethyst, Diamond & Emerald Blog - Friday 24th September 2021

 Happy Friday everybody - we hope you have all had a lovely week! This week we have been making progress towards our usual ways of working as the Year 2 children had morning and lunch playtimes together. Next week, the Year 1 children will be joining the Year 2's at these playtimes and all the Key Stage 1 children will be having lunch in the hall. "Hooray!" say the classroom carpets!

We also all wish Mrs Yuille well as she continues to get better from her recent time in hospital. Diamond class have been amazing this week and will be covered by Mrs Holmes and Mrs O'Connor next week.

Book Bags

Just another reminder that is really important that your child brings their blue book bags/clear plastic wallet with their reading book and reading diary into school everyday. The children do not have a set day which they read on but, whenever we get a chance, we try to fit in as many readers as we can. It is really important, therefore, that they always have their book with them.

Maths Homework

This week we would like you to look at pages 10-11.

For Year 1's this is looking at numbers to 100. Take some time looking at the hundred square on page 10 and discuss any patterns you can see. Relate these to the tens and ones work you did last week. Use the hundred square to then solve the number sequences on page 11. If you have time can you create a hundred square jigsaw?

For Year 2's this is looking at counting on in different steps. If you wish to extend this learning look at creating and extending your own number patterns. Look to start on different numbers, count in different steps both forward and backward.

Don't forget, we are always available on our Key Stage 1 email. If you have any questions or concerns about anything, please just ask and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
