Amethyst & Emerald Blog - Friday 17th March 2023

 Happy Friday, everybody! It has been a very exciting week in Key Stage 1 as we have been making our chocolates! After all our work in researching chocolates, tasting ingredients and exploring different designs we have all made our final choices. We are now packaging the finished chocolates and they will be coming home very soon!

Red Nose Day 2023

On Friday we marked Comic Relief's Red Nose Day with a non-uniform day. During this day we learnt about some of the projects that Comic Relief are involved in around the world and in our own country. We looked at how these projects help children to achieve the rights of the UNCRC and you can read the pocket book of rights HERE.


Maths Homework

This week, we would like you to look at pages 44 & 45.

For Year 1's this continue 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 up all your fantastic efforts with your reading at home - it will make a huge impact on your child's reading development. Keep using the range of questions we have discussed previously as well!

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
