Class 2 update

This week the children have been introduced to their new topic ‘Fighting Fit’, they were given lots of different clues to try and work out the topic and then we discussed it as a class.

In Science we started by looking at the human body and labelling different parts, we then looked at the human life cycle and discussed this as a class. The year 2 children were then challenged to think about things that they could do when they were a baby and things that they can do now they are older.

English lessons this week have focussed on information texts. We have been looking at information texts about Owls and finding out different facts. We came up with lots of questions together and have been researching the answers. Today class 2 came up with their own commands, telling someone how to draw an owl.

In Maths, class 2 have been working on fractions. Year 1 have been finding half and quarter of shapes and amounts by sharing different equipment and drawing pictures to support them. Year 2 have been looking at half, quarter, three quarters and a third.

I have sent home a letter today explaining more about the subjects the children will be looking at this term.

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

Weekly News 15.04.16

It has been lovely to see the children so excited about coming back to school this week and keen to share their news about the holidays.  It’s a busy few weeks now with the Year 3/4 residential visit, trips, swimming sessions starting and SATs and we are grateful for your continued support with activities in and out of school.

Pre-school

The pre-school children have joined us in the school hall for lunch this week and it has been lovely to see them growing in confidence over the past few days.

Mrs McKenna’s new arrival!

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs McKenna on the safe arrival of Theo James 7lb 2oz. Mum and baby are home and doing well.

Netball Club changed

Miss Edwards will now be running Computing Club on Mondays instead of Netball Club. Next week the club is open to everyone in Year 3 to 5 but if numbers are too high Miss Edwards may have to draw up a rota to limit the numbers of children attending.

Uniform

Just a reminder that children are only permitted to wear royal blue sweatshirts/cardigans/ hooded cardigans to school and no other coloured tops should be worn.  Thank you.

Letters home this week:

Year 6 secondary school transport applications – eligible children (Please return by 11/05/16)

Have a good weekend.

Counting in 10s

The children have been practising counting on in 10 to 100. They made stacks of 10, then matched the correct number to  the stacks.

Class 4 Homework

This week the children have been looking at equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions. For homework, we would like the children to practise simplifying using the online game:

http://www.iboard.co.uk/iwb/Simplifying-Fractions-Game-366

The game firstly asks for the highest common factor (the highest number that can divide into the number on the top and bottom of the fraction) and then children need to divide the top and bottom number by the number they have selected to give them the simplified fraction.

When children have done this they can have a go at simplifying fractions on the worksheet using the same method.

Please ask if anything requires further explanation. Children are welcome to use the school computers at break time if they are unable to access the game at home.

Please note, the link to the worksheet also contains the answers (for parents eyes only!!) Yellow group can choose either worksheet to complete.

Many thanks,

Mrs Chadwick
