Today the children have had a fantastic time cooking food from around the world for World Food Day! In English, the children have been busy writing kenning poems, all about the emergency services. They have written some really lovely poems. We are very proud of them! Next week we will continue our work on poems and will be writing our own diamante poems!
Maths Homework
This week, books will come home on Monday. We would like you to look at pages 12 & 13.
For Year 1's this focuses on counting skills and comparing amounts. Developing accurate and reliable counting and then being able to say which of two or more amounts is more or less is an important aspect of the Year 1 curriculum. It is also important that the children understand that equal means the same as. There are also some games in the link below to help reinforce these ideas.
For Year 2's this focuses on the number line and making estimates as to where numbers lie on the number line. When doing this, it is important to firstly look at the numbers that we can see already on the number line - are they going up in 2's, 5's, 10's? From here, look at which 2 numbers the arrow is in between to work out a number that is more/less than the given numbers. The game below will help reinforce the ideas presented in the homework book:
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. Thank you!
Spellings
The new spelling sheets will come home with the children on Monday this week. Please ask for a copy if your child does not bring them home.
Wellbeing Day
Next Friday will be wellbeing day so the children may come to school in what they feel comfortable in.
There is NO Forest School next week.
Remember, we are here if you need us. Pop down and see us at the end of the day or message us on Dojo.
Have a lovely weekend!
