Year 1 / 2

Maths
This week we will be learning about time.  The children will learn how to tell the time and show the time on clocks. We will be learning about o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to.  The children will also be introduced to 5-minute intervals.

 In today’s digital age often we find that analogue clocks are no longer used in homes.  Please can you make sure you practice telling the time with your child using an analogue clock.

If you don’t have one at home this link is useful:

Next week the children will be tested on the 5 times tables. Please continue to support your child in learning these.  Thank you.

English

In 'Grammar' this week the children will be learning about changing verbs to the present progressive tense by adding ‘ing’ and the associated grammatical rules.  For example:

Walk = Walking

Laugh = Laughing
Shop = Shopping
Take = Taking
Bake = Baking

It is important that children understand what vowels and consonants are – please do this with your children at home throughout the week.

The children will also have a reading comprehension.

Year 1

English

In English we will be continuing our work on Aliens - writing an alien story and reading alien words. We will also be continuing our work on grammar - the adding of ed and ing onto the end of words and will be improving our reading and writing of these words. We will also review the reading and writing of words with an apostrophe, due to letters being missed out - contracted words.

 Year 1

In Maths this week we will be focusing on subtraction by counting back, and by using pairs to 10 to take 1 number away from a multiple of 10. We will also be reviewing telling the time - o'clock and half past.

Topic

This week we will continue our topic 'A Street Through Time' by starting to find out about the Roman invasion of Britain, and how this changed how people lived and their homes. We will start by focusing on building models showing how the Romans introduced central heating, and creating a collage mosaic.

 

 

Have a good week everyone,

The 1 / 2 team.
