Welcome
to our blog. The children are busy
learning their lines and learning the play songs too. We have sent out homework
and there are exercises on my maths. We may very well not get much of this work done because of the play rehearsals.
The children are getting
excited about Christmas and might want to track Santa on the 1st of
December.

Year
1 / 2
English
This week
the children will be spending a week focusing on spelling, punctuation and
grammar.
We will be recapping when to use capital letter. We will be discussing proper nouns and that these words need to be in a capital
letter.
We will also be looking at consistently using the present tense and past tense correctly. we will be
discussing how to use a “ed” on the end of words.
Activity at home:
The children could look through their
reading books and any other books at home and notice any past tense in their
books.
Maths
This week the children will
be counting to 100 and past 100.
The children will also be finding one more or
one less of small numbers gradually getting to larger numbers.
We will be looking at ordinal numbers in context. For example: first, second,
third, fourth and so on.

Topic
In our topic 'Being
British' we will be labelling key places in Britain that are important in some
way to us personally - such as the home of a favourite football team, home town
of a family member. The children will be bringing home a homework sheet that
they will hopefully be able to record places in Britain that mean something to
them, which will help with this map work next week.
Have a great week.
The 1 / 2 team.
