Homework

New spellings and sentences were sent home his week.

The year two spellings may have seemed a little easier but it is essential that they know the difference between all the basic homophones. For example – their/there/they’re/ etc. Thank you for your understanding.

This week we will be continuing with our work based on the book 'The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon' by Mini Grey. This book is based on what happened after the dish and the spoon ran away together at the end of 'Hey Diddle Diddle'. This week we will be looking at nursery rhymes and we will be planning and writing our own story based on one of these rhymes. We will also be looking at how speech is recorded in speech bubbles and speech marks.

In maths we will start the week by revising subtraction as this is an area where the children sometimes struggle. We will be recapping different strategies that we can use to subtract. We will then move on to using the bar model to represent subtraction and missing number problems
Science Year 1/ 2
This week we will be continuing with our materials topic and looking at the properties of materials and their suitability for different objects. We will be thinking about how we can answer the question 'What material makes the best umbrella?'. We will be planning and hopefully carrying out an investigation.

Science Year 2

This week the children will be designing their own boat using materials around them. They will be finding out about what materials and objects can be recycled and things that cannot be recycled.
