Year 1 / 2

Maths

During this short week the children will review addition, subtraction and time.

They will be tested on the 5 times tables.

Please continue to work with your child in learning the 5 times tables. Thank you.

English
The grammar focus this week will be on comparative adjectives such as:

small          smaller          smallest

tidy             tidier             tidiest
big               bigger           biggest
 

There are a lot of rules for knowing how to spell the comparative adjectives.  It is therefore vital that your child knows what a vowel and a consonant is.

Please continue to work with your children in securing this knowledge.
