Welcome to our blog.
We hope you enjoyed the long bank holiday weekend and I am glad the
weather was kinder to us than the last.
RE
We have started a new topic on HOLIDAYS AND HOLY DAYS. We will be thinking about the word holiday sounding like the
word holy day. We have just celebrated Easter and we will be thinking about the
word ALLELUIA that we use to celebrate. We will also be remembering the story
of Jesus going back into Heaven to be with His Father.
Homework
The children had some
more special homework to complete over weekend. Please can you make sure this is sent back in
this week. Thanks.
Phonics
Please remember that the Year 1 have a phonics test in June
and any Year 2 who didn’t achieve the expected level in Year 1 will resit in at
the same time. The children have to read 32 words which include some alien
words that are made up.

and 10's and will be beginning to count in 3's.
Year 1
English
This week we will be completing a comprehension about the weather. We will also be focusing on phonics and grammar - using an exclamation mark, reviewing the writing of capital letters. We will also be reviewing adding un to words as a prefix. Reading activities will also continue using words suitable for year 1.
Maths
This week we will be reviewing subtraction by counting back and using pairs to 10, 20 and doubles. We will also be using in multiples of 10 - adding, taking away, doubling and linking these with our knowledge of handling digits. We will be reviewing counting backwards from 100 and 2D and 3D shapes.
Year 1/2
English
Maths
This week in our maths lessons, we will be looking at place
value and estimation. We will start the week by placing missing numbers on a
number line and looking at the value of the figures in a two digit number e.g.
73 = 7 tens and 3 ones (units). We will then move on to estimating. Year 1
children will be estimating numbers of objects and Year 2 children will be
estimating the answers to calculations. This will help them check that their
answers are ‘sensible’ when completing the SATs tests.
English
At the beginning of the week, we will be finishing off our work
on pirates. Last week, children enjoyed researching about pirates and creating
non-chronological reports. This week we will be writing a pirate character
description and a pirate adventure story!
Later in the week, we will spend a few days creating animal riddles,
using the different sentence types e.g.
What a long neck I have!
I am a large mammal with four legs.
Take good care of me
Can you guess what I am?
Year 2
English
The children will be having a writing week and will have lots of
opportunities to write using familiar and traditional tales. We will be using
Jack and the beanstalk, the hungry caterpillar and an adventure from Barnaby
bear going to London!
The children will be writing independently.
Maths
We will be
learning and reviewing some of the things that the children got wrong in their
sats tests the other week.
The
children will be practising multiplying using repeated addition, partitioning
numbers and finding out about right angles.
Geography
In our geography lesson, we will be looking at England and our
capital city. We will look at famous landmarks such as Big Ben and the London
Eye. We will watch a video about Barnaby Bear and his visit to London and we
will write a diary entry, from Barnaby’s point of view.
Science
We will be learning more about plants and finding out about the
function of a stem. The children will be looking at how water and nutrients
move up then stem of a flower.
Art
The children will be
observational drawing different flower heads and using pastel to colour them.
