Class 2 weekly update

Class 2 have settled back into school really well this week. They have been excited to get started on our ‘Pole Apart’ topic!

Maths – We have started to identify and represent numbers in maths this week.

Year 1 – have been using play dough, equipment (cubes) and stickers to represent numbers to 20, in a range of different ways. We have also looked at writing numbers as numerals and words today.

Year 2 – have used a range of different equipment to represent numbers to 100. We have also answered questions about e.g. What is one more/less? What is double/half? What is ten more/less? To end the week, we have been writing numbers as numerals and words.

English – We have been learning about/recapping on adjectives this week. We started describing Arctic and Antarctic animals with a range of different adjectives, then shared a story called ‘Who’s that’ – Arctic Animals. This used lovely adjectives and helped us match descriptions.

Phonics

Year 1 – have focussed on the ‘ay’ phoneme this week.

Year 2 – have learned the ‘ge’ spelling at the end of a word.

Spellings – The children have been provided with a new spelling book today and given their first set of spellings to learn for the week. The children will be tested next Friday (16th) first thing in the morning in the back of their books. Please could you spend a few minutes a night practising with your child.

9-9-16

PE – Just a reminder that your child needs a full PE kit available for the whole week. Please could you ensure that individual items of clothing are clearly labelled.

Attached is the Autumn Term curriculum letter sent home at the beginning of the week.

Class 2 update

Maths

This week in maths we have been focussing on telling the time. Year 1 have concentrated on telling the time to the hour and half hour. Year 2 children started off with recognising quarter past and quarter to and today have been challenged further with telling the time to the nearest 5 minutes.

English

We have linked English with our Science topic – Year 1 have looked at Handa’s Surprise and had discussions about the story, sequenced the story and told it in their own words. Year 2 have been researching about habitats and writing at length about hot and cold habitats, using the conjunctions when, if, that and because.

Spellings

To be tested on Friday 6th May:

29.4.16

Homework

Year 1 have been given a piece of homework to follow on from our time lessons to complete for Friday 6th May.

year 1 time homework

Year 2 have been given their Grammar booklets and I would like them to complete pages 8, 13, 16 and 40 for Friday 6th May.

Have a lovely weekend 🙂

Class 2 update and homework

Year 1

English: This week we have been looking at a range of poems with the theme of night time. The children have enjoyed looking at them and have all identified features of poetry that they enjoy. The children have written their own ‘goodnight’ poems and have been adding adjectives and commas where appropriate.

The year 1 children have been given a sheet to complete over the half term holidays. Miss Owen would like them to write their own poem based on a theme of their own choice, remembering to include adjectives and commas.

Year 1 English homework

Maths: This week we have been looking at weight. The children can identify which items are heaviest and lightest using estimation and a balance scale.

Year 2

English: The year 2 children have continued to focus on punctuation this week; we have looked at capital letters, full stops, commas, question marks, exclamation marks and apostrophes over the last 2 weeks and learned how to apply these in our independent writing.

The year 2 children have been given a sheet to complete over the half term holidays. I would like them to write about their holiday, remembering to include punctuation, adjectives and conjunctions.

Year 2 English homework

Maths: Last week the year 2’s became much more confident with their multiplication work, this week have focussed on division and how we can use equipment and pictures to divide an amount.

D & T

This week we made our fruit salads. The children enjoyed this and should now progress to completing their evaluation sheet which was given as homework.

D & T homework

Spellings

I have provided the children with a sheet called ‘Spelling – Homework Ideas’, this provides the children with lots of fun, creative ways of learning their spellings. They do not have to learn them this way but I thought I would share it for those who would like to have a go.
