Amethyst, Diamond & Emerald Blog - 14th June 2024

 Happy Friday, everybody! It has been a lovely day today where we all took part in our Race for Life on the field. Look out for photos in next week's newsletter! A reminder of some important diary dates for our last half term together:

• Friday 5th July - Sports Day
• Thursday 11th July - Open School (3:45-5:30pm)

We are also looking forward to a visiting Punch and Judy show on Wednesday next week! Because of this visit, we will not be swimming this Wednesday but will make this week up before the summer holidays.

Maths Homework

This week, we would like you to look at pages 58 & 59.

For Year 1's this looks at reading and writing the time on an analogue clock. This can often be quite a tricky concept so take the time to notice how the hands of the clock are different from each other and they have a distinct role in telling the time. Practical reinforcement of reading the time to the hour and the half hour around the home will also help embed this concept.

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

For Year 2's this looks at 2D shapes. This focuses on the names of the shapes the children should know and their mathematical properties - sides, corners (vertices) and lines of symmetry.

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 & Miss Smith
