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.

Science, Computing and Art

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.

This week’s homework is Talk Time and due on Thursday 21 September 2017.

Have you ever felt lonely?

Talk about what it feels like to be lonely and how you can help if someone else is feeling lonely.

Please continue to practise counting in tens. 

Find small objects in your house or garden and put into groups of ten. Count in tens to find out how many you have.  You could use stones, small sticks, straws, pennies, leaves, beads or anything else you can find!  You could draw some groups of 10 in your homework book or take a photo of your counting.

A busy first week!

Wow! What a brilliant week we’ve had.  All Year 1 and 2 classes have visited the school library to choose a book to take home. This is to be enjoyed alongside the reading scheme books. Please return next Friday (15 September) so your child can choose a different one.

 

1,2V were impressed by the new hall floor and worked on listening carefully to instructions and balls skills in their first PE lesson. Thank you for making sure your child was not wearing earrings (as per our updated uniform policy) as this ensured we started our PE lesson promptly.

Well done to our first golden star of the new school year.
