Happy Friday!
This week in Key Stage 1 we have been busy learning our new routines and getting to know everybody in our classes. In English and Geography we have been looking at different types of homes and labelling their features. The children also went on a hunt for different materials that have been used around our school (see this weeks newsletter for photos). This was in preparation for our Science lessons next week when we will be sorting objects made from different materials. It's going to be another busy week of learning!
Roald Dahl Day
We had a lovely day celebrating the author Roald Dahl. The children that dressed up looked fabulous! We all enjoyed learning about his life and sharing his stories and rhymes.
Home Photographs
Thank you to everyone that has already sent a photograph of their home into us. If you haven't done this yet, please don't worry! We need them for Tuesday next week, so would be grateful for them by then. You can either send a photograph in with your child or you can send one electronically via Dojo messages to your child's class teacher
Maths Homework
This week, we would like you to look at pages 8 & 9.
For Year 1's this focuses on tens and ones. Understanding how 2-digit numbers are made up of tens and ones is fundamental to all the maths we do in Key Stage 1. Having a clear understanding of what digits represent in numbers is such an important aspect of our maths learning. Although we represent the number 12 with the digits 1 & 2, 12 is actually one 10 and 2 ones. Again, look at page 8 to understand the idea and then work through page 9. If you wish to extend your child's work in this, count objects and group these into tens so you can see how these larger numbers can be represented by tens and ones. There are also some games in the link below to help reinforce these ideas.
For Year 2's this focuses numbers to 100. Again, keep looking at these numbers in terms of their tens and ones - how is the number 24 different to 42? Look also at how each number can also be represented by words. When it comes to writing the words, encourage the children to be as accurate as possible in their spelling.
Have a lovely weekend!
