Happy Friday everybody! We begin this week with a reminder from last week's blog regarding our designing of chocolates. If your child has an allergy to any food, please come and see us as soon as possible and you can look at the ingredients we taste test and let us know which ones are appropriate for your child. We will then get suitable alternatives where needed to replace any that your child can not have.
Mid Year Targets
On Thursday 9th February, your child will bring home their Mid Year Target Sheets. One of the things we are asked most at Parent/Teacher Consultations is "What can we do at home to support our child?" In order to help inform you, we now share these with you via these target sheets as these will be the key areas that we will focus on during the second half of the year.
It is worth emphasising that these are not reports, you will receive that at the end of the Summer Term. We hope you find the target sheets helpful and they will form the basis of Parent/Teacher Consultations on Monday 27th February and Wednesday 1st March.
Maths Homework
This week, we would like you to look at pages 36 & 37.
For Year 1's this focuses on halves. It is helpful when discussing fractions to relate it closely to division. So when discussing finding half, relate it to the same as dividing it in 2. The games below explore how to recognise halves in shapes and how you can find half of amounts by sharing.
For Year 2's this focuses on doubling and halving. As usual, relate these mathematical concept back to the basic operations of maths - doubles as times by 2 and halving as divide by 2. The game below has a mode for finding half and double of different amounts to help develop a rapid recall of these facts.
If you have any issues or questions, please, please come and see us at the end of the day - we would love to see you!
Have a super weekend!
Best Wishes
Mr Jude & Mrs Yuille
