Maths

This week Class 1 have looked at the ‘fourness’ of 4. The children explored how 3 and 1 more makes 4; and 1 and 3 more makes 4. They explored and found objects with four, e.g. – a chair has 4 legs, a square has 4 sides. They collected sets of 4 things and investigated different ways to make 4 using our numicon and unifix. The children were then challenged to show what was 4 and what was not 4 and explain and prove it!

Class 3 weekly update

English – Alongside our read, write, inc work we have been identifying nouns and using them in sentences and writing expanded noun phrases to add more description to the noun. The children have written some wonderful, descriptive sentences.

Maths – This week we have been ordering objects and numbers and using our problem solving skills to answer a range of questions. Then we have been counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s using the number grid to help us.

Science – We have been discussing and understanding what it means to eat healthily. The children made a food diary and discussed if their diet is healthy and what they could have eaten more / less of. They then recorded their food diary into a food pyramid, looking at if they ate food from a range of the different food groups.

Spellings – To be tested Friday 5th October

28.9.18

Have a lovely weekend,

Class 2 Weekly Update 21.09.18

We have had another lovely week together in Class 2 where everybody in class has been sharing their learning journey beautifully together.
In English during Read Write Inc the children have been focusing on the sounds ll, th, ng, nk, tt, ch. We have continued to learn about the importance of capital letters and full stops in sentences. The children have proofread simple sentences and have checked them extremely well.
In maths, Class 2 have had lots of practical lessons in which they have been mastering their key understandings of place value and number recognition. The children have been representing numbers in a range of different ways and I have been so pleased to hear them using their mathematical language such as more than, less than or equal to in order to show their reasoning in different scenarios.
In topic, after Penguin left us some maps for locations, we boarded our airplane at the airport and we flew thousands of miles together across the world to Antarctica. We explored what it is like there looking at landmarks, people, wildlife and weather conditions and then compared it to Shrewsbury.
We wrapped the week up today by getting messy in art using our fingers to paint. There were some very arty autumnal scenes of a Bicton school tree we decided to show moving through the season of autumn, linked to our Science topic of Seasonal Changes.
Spellings have gone home today and we are starting with the Year 1 Common Exception Words which are essentials. I would like to thank you in advance for helping your child with these. The spellings are to be learnt for a test next Friday (28.9.18). You will be able to see their tests in the back of their spelling books.
Homework- The children have been given their homework today on capital letters and full stops to link to our work in class. Please could this be completed and returned by Friday 28th September. Please feel free to write notes on the homework or in reading records to allow me to see how much support your child needed in completing their homework or reading books.
Have a lovely weekend together and see you all on Monday.
Mr Mavin
