Happy Friday, everybody! We have had a wonderful week in Key Stage 1 - we have all enjoyed taste testing different types of chocolate and other ingredients so we can begin to make final decisions about the chocolates we will be making; it's not easy being Mr Wonka! We have also been thinking about how we learn and approach new challenges and how having a "stretchy" brain is good when we learn new things. We have made our own "stretchy hand" flowers to help us remember this as we learn and grow together.
Maths Homework
This week, we would like you to look at pages 36 & 37.
For Year 1's this focuses on halves. It is helpful when discussing fractions to relate it closely to division. So when discussing finding half, relate it to the same as dividing it in 2. The games below explore how to recognise halves in shapes and how you can find half of amounts by sharing.
For Year 2's this focuses on doubling and halving. As usual, relate these mathematical concept back to the basic operations of maths - doubles as times by 2 and halving as divide by 2. The game below has a mode for finding half and double of different amounts to help develop a rapid recall of these facts.
Have a super weekend!
Best Wishes
Mr Jude, Mrs Yuille, Mrs Holmes & Miss Smith
