Happy Friday everybody!
We have had another busy week in KS1 this week. In English we have been creating lists of items we would like in a 'fantasy bedroom', then drawing what it might look like and adding a caption to explain our pictures. In Science, we have continued to look at materials and their properties in preparation for some exciting activities over the next few weeks. Watch this space for more information about what we have been getting up to!
Next week, we will be retelling stories using puppets that we have created ourselves and looking at 1 more and 1 less than numbers to 100 and partitioning numbers in our Maths lessons.
Maths Homework
This week, we would like you to look at pages 10 & 11.
For Year 1's this focuses on counting to 100. This will continue to build upon the work on tens and ones from last week. Remember - having a clear understanding of what digits represent in numbers is such an important aspect of our maths learning. Reinforce how 24 is represented by the digits 2 & 4 but 24 is actually a 20 and a 4. Explore the hundred square on page 10 and look for the patterns you can see there. There are also some games in the link below to help reinforce these ideas.

For Year 2's this focuses counting on in different steps. This looks at the patterns that are present in counting on in steps of different amounts and how even numbers always have even multiples but odd numbers alternate between odd and even multiples. The hundred square app below is really good for creating these steps and spotting patterns. Alternatively, practice writing out sequences of numbers, in particular, the 2's, 5's and 10's and discuss any patterns that you can see.

Reading At Home
Reading regularly at home will make a huge impact on your child's reading development and learning across the whole curriculum. Please read each week as often as you can and jot it down in the reading diary. Is is also important to talk about a book when you have finished your reading. Which is your favourite part? Did you like this character? Why?
Always remember to have your child's reading book and reading diary in school everyday! We need all books and reading records in school every Thursday so that we can change the children's books in time for the weekend.
If you have any issues or questions, please drop us a message via dojo or come down the steps to see us at the end of the day.
Have a lovely weeked!
The Key Stage 1 Team
