Happy Friday everybody! Work on our "The Quest" project is in full swing now and we have been looking at how a trebuchet works for our explanation writing in English. We have also started to turn our attention to the most exciting aspect of our project, the construction of our model castles. There will be lots of pictures of this process in our newsletters over the next few weeks so keep an eye out for those!
Maths Homework
This week, we would like you to look at pages 34 & 35.
For Year 1's this focuses on dividing. This is explored initially as practical sharing equally between 2 people. Begin to explore which numbers can be fairly shared and which leaver an odd one left over. This is good to help your child think about odd and even numbers.
For Year 2's this also focuses on dividing. As mentioned before, in Year 2 we relate all division calculations back to their multiplication inverse as this is often a more efficient method of solving a calculation.
Both year groups can enhance their knowledge of division through the games below:

Have an amazing weekend!
