Welcome to our blog.
Homework
The children received
homework again and have a set of new spellings to learn. We are currently on
week 6 and Year 1 have been sent some different spellings.
There will be a spelling
test every week. A few children have not been learning the spellings and this
could really help them in their writing if they do.
They have got a
comprehension to do every week too as well as sentences or writing target
depending on what they have been told in their homework book. Year 2 have my
maths on line too and the passwords were sent out again last week.
Reading
The children need to
read at home at least three times a week. The children need to be heard read
even if they are a free reader. It really helps them if you can talk about the
book and ask them why something is happening or how something is happening as
well as about the story or information itself. We find that the children who
read at home make more progress than those who do not. Thank you for your support.
RE
The children will be finishing
with the topic called SPECIAL PEOPLE. The children will be writing about their
trip to church and will be writing about all the different special people in
the church.

We will be reading over and peer assessing the story we wrote
last week ‘Goldilocks in my classroom!’. We will be learning to evaluate our
own writing and identify how we can improve next time.
We will be revisiting apostrophes for contraction e.g. don’t,
wont, couldn’t and learning about how apostrophes are also used for possession.
Children will also complete a guided reading session and a reading
comprehension.
Maths
Children will be working on ‘one more’ and ‘one less’ from any
given number to 100 during mental starters. We will be playing lots of fun,
interactive games.
Children will also be introduced this week, to statistics and
making graphs and tables to record data. Children will be conducting their own
surveys in class and presenting the information in a bar chart and a pictogram.
By the end of the week, children will be able to write and answer questions
about a set of data.

This week we will be learning all about instructions.
We will be thinking about how to make toast and jam
sandwiches.
We will also be reviewing capital letters for people,
places and things in sentences.
The children will also be completing a
comprehension and playing spell well to learn the exception words.
Year 2 Maths
