Amethyst, Diamond & Emerald Blog - Friday 6th May 2022

 Happy Friday, everybody! We hope you are all keeping well. This week we have been diving into the secret life of rockpools and all the amazing creatures that live in these habitats. The children have been fascinated by this so apologies for the requests to go to the seaside!

Maths Homework

This week we would like you to look at pages 54-55.

For Year 1's this looks at days of the week and months of the year. Discuss the order of these measures of time and attach a meaning to each of them e.g. we do PE on Monday, my birthday is in May etc. Also discuss how units of time relate to each other e.g. 7 days in a week, 12 months in a year.

For Year 2's, this is looking at reading the time. The expectation for the end of Year 2 is for the children to be able to read the time to the quarter hour (o'clock, quarter past, half past, quarter to). However, for those children secure in this we do look at time to 5 minute intervals. 

Below are some games for reinforcing these ideas, scroll down on the page for games relating to time:

Don't forget to keep up all your fantastic efforts with your reading at home as well as either your phonics or comprehension homework books - it will make a huge impact on your child's reading development.

As always, we are available on our Key Stage 1 email. However, we would encourage you to come and see us at the end of the day if there are any issues or questions that you have. Just come down the steps to see us!
