Amethyst, Diamond & Emerald Blog - Friday 10th May 2024

 Happy Friday, everybody! It has been a short but very busy week this week and we have all been busy writing stories about being shipwrecked at sea! We have also been making progress in our seaside sculptures in art - look out in the next few weeks in the newsletter for photos of all our artistic endeavours! 

Maths Homework

This week, we would like you to look at pages 52 & 53.

For Year 1's this looks at money. The use of coins in shopping is becoming less and less common in our everyday lives but it is still part of the curriculum for the children to recognise the different coins we have and use different combinations of coins to make amounts. Dig out your change drawer and practise making amounts and counting money. There are lots of games in the link below that support the concepts of money in Key Stage 1.

For Year 2's this continue to look at money. Again, keep exploring this concept practically using real coins but also using the games featured in the link below:



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. 

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 lovely weekend!

Best wishes

Mr Jude, Mrs Yuille & Miss Smith
