Happy Friday, everybody! This week in Science, we have been looking at living things and matching baby animals to their adults. Next week, we will be using our own baby photos in class so if you have yet to send one in, please try to as having their own photo makes the learning much more personal to the children.
Maths Homework
This week, your children will be coming home with a Maths Homework book. We would like Year 1 you to look at pages 8 & 9 and Year 2 to look at pages 6 & 7.
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 a 10 and a 2. Again, look at page 8 or 6 to understand the idea and then work through the following page.
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.
Alternatively, you can draw out your own number lines, giving a starting point and an end point and asking your child to place numbers where they feel they would go between these numbers.
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.
Next week will be a Forest School week. For Peony this will be on MONDAY, Lavender this will be on TUESDAY and for Poppy this will be on THURSDAY. As previously mentioned, on Forest School days, children should come into school wearing long trousers, long sleeved tops and trainers. They should bring with them, named and in a bag, welly boots, waterproofs and a spare change of clothes in case they get wet or muddy.
If you have any issues or questions, please, please come and see us at the end of the day or send us a message on Dojo.
Have a super weekend!
All the best
Mrs Griffiths, Miss Bridges, Mrs Holmes and Mrs Elms
