Welcome
to our blog,
We hope
you enjoyed the Easter weekend. We had a lot of things happening last week from
egg rolling, Easter bonnets and much, much more.
Year 2
Will be having
a very short week this week. The children will have a great time and we have
seven staff going on the trip. We thank all the staff who are willing to leave
their own families to take the children away.
Arrangements
for Tatten hall.
Please do not send anything new or expensive. It will get torn and it will get dirty.
Indoor clothing
A change of footwear is
essential slippers or pumps. No outdoor shoes are allowed in the centre.
Outside wear
Lots of old clothes such as
joggers/jumpers/sweatshirts, track suits, t shirts. No jeans as they are not
good if they get wet.
Two old pair of trainers or
shoes.We will be out waking so shoes need to waterproof and comfortable.
Plenty of socks and underwear.
Other
items
Pyjamas,
hair brush, towel, aterproofcoat/anorack etc.
Toothpaste
etc.
Camera if
they know how to use a disposable one.
Teddybear.
They may
take three pounds to buy small items form the shop.
All
clothing needs to be named. In the unlikely event it is sunny the children may
bring suncream to apply to themselves but obviously scarves, hats and gloves
may be more appropriate!!
Clear
plastic bag for dirty clothes – names.
Example
3 x 10
=30
10 x
3 =30
30÷10
= 3
Most
children are tested on x 2 , x 5, x10. Some children are moving onto mixed
division and multiplication too.
English
The
children will be practising their writing and writing a story using a picture
as a stimulus. On Friday the children will be writing about their experiences
at Tattenhall.
Phonics
Year 1 and 2 will
be continuing with phase five and learning phonemes with alternative sounds.
Year 2 will be working through phase six.

The children are busy learning the Years 1 and 2 exception words
and these are being tested for reading and spelling. We are playing a spell
well game to learn them all too. Ask your child to explain the game spell well.
We will be using phase six phonics too while reviewing phase
five phonemes all the time.
Year 1 / 2
Maths
We will be reviewing number work again this week. The
children will learn that it doesn’t matter which way the numbers go in addition
sentences as you get the same answer. However, in subtraction sentences
it does matter which way the numbers go because you get a different
answer. For example:
23 + 12 = 35
12 + 23 = 35
29 – 7 = 22
7 – 29 = -22 (The
children will not be taught how to do negative number subtraction; they will be
shown this and given the opportunity to explore this learning).
English
The children will complete a reading comprehension on Tuesday.
Year 1
Year 1
will be working on superheros this week. Mrs Sarsfield and other staff will be teaching
Year 1 all week when the year 2 are away.
There
will be a variety of activities linked to superheros, designing costumes,
writing about their own super hero, artwork and some directional work using the
beebot.
Have a good week everyone.
