This week’s homework is Creative. Homework is due on Thursday 12 October 2017.
Can you create a map of your journey to school?
You could draw, take pictures, make a model or write about it. Don’t forget to add labels and a key. Use one A4 page in your homework book.
Thank you to everyone who attended the first Join In Monday afternoon of the year. Class 1,2V hosted the Autumn-themed afternoon. Parents and carers joined in with children making leaf lanterns, leaf mobiles and leaf rubbings. There were also 933 conkers to count and play with!
I know it sounds early, but these cards will be printed and can be bought for friends and family.
All the year 1 and 2 classes conducted a traffic survey of Station Road in front of school. We predicted that cars would be the vehicle we saw the most and this proved to be true when we counted up our scores. A year 2 child commented, “This is the best day. I love counting cars!” We will be using our findings in our topic lessons.
Well done to our golden star this week.
Thank you to the parents who attended the Reading Workshop last night. The presentation can be found here.
This week’s Spelling Homework is to use rainbow writing to write the spellings from last week. Homework is due on 05 October.
This week’s homework is Talk Time and is due on 05 October 2017: Talk about your journey to and from school. Do you pass any natural features (streams, large trees) or buildings (dentist, shops) on the way? Talk about which directions you take (left, right, straight on). We will be drawing our route to school in our geography topic lessons.
Also, go on a Number Hunt around your house, garden or local area. Which numbers can you see? List or draw the numbers you find.
It’s been another busy week in the Year 1 and 2 classes. We started the week with a performance from One Day Creative about dealing with emotions and mindfulness. This will be followed up with workshops in a few weeks.
All classes visited the library, choosing books to encourage and enhance reading in our classrooms.
We’ve been using a variety of equipment to represent numbers, focusing on how many 10s and 1s a number has. Ten frames, Base 10, Numicon, part-part-whole models and lolly sticks are all resources we use in school – ask your child to describe the objects. (The pictures might help.)
Well done to this week’s Golden Star.
This week’s spellings are high frequency words and will be tested on Thursday 28 September.
Year 1
Year 2
This week’s Practice Makes Perfect homework is to learn your own address, including postcode. Can you see any capital letters in your address? Talk about why these words have a capital letter (they are a proper noun).
Maths homework is counting forwards and backwards within 100. A fun way to do this is by playing a game of bingo or snakes and ladders.
Homework is due on Thursday 28 September.
It’s been another busy week in all three Year 1 and 2 classes. The children have been learning about how to answer a scientific question – ‘How can we make plasticine float?’
They enjoyed trying various shapes before finding a way to make it float.
We have also had our first taster of our carousel afternoon: learning how to make music on the iPads, art and RE.
Well done to our Golden Star this week.
