Amethyst & Emerald Blog - 16th June 2023

 Happy Friday, everybody! Well, Summer has certainly arrived and it has been a very hot week, however, myself and Mrs Yuille have been very proud of how hard the children have applied themselves this week despite the heat! Well done everybody! Remember, whilst the temperature is well above 20°C, ties can be removed as and when needed. Also, remember to bring sunhats and water bottles and the children can bring some sun cream in to apply themselves before play time and lunch time.

Upcoming Dates

  • Wednesday 4th July - Open School 4:30pm-6:30pm
  • Friday 7th July - Sports Day (KS1 in the afternoon)

Maths Homework

This week, we would like you to look at pages 60 & 61.

For Year 1's this looks at measuring time. Understanding how time is measured helps work out slower and quicker times and whether times are earlier or later than each other. Try timing your child doing different tasks and compare the times that it took. Also reinforce how 60 seconds make up a minute and 60 minutes make up an hour.

Below is a link to some games to help support these ideas:

For Year 2's this looks at 3D shapes. This focuses on the names of the shapes the children should know and their mathematical properties - faces, vertices and edges.

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 fantastic weekend!

Best wishes

Mr Jude & Mrs Yuille
