Homework 29th November 2019
admin on: Class 2
Well it's the weekend already for the children as it's 'INSECT' day tomorrow. I hope they enjoy an extra day of weekend at this busy time of year. We've been working hard on shape in maths, learning lots of new vocabulary like 'heptagon' and 'trapezium'. The Mathletics homework this week is based around shape. Paper homework is also maths but a bit of a puzzle that you can solve as a family.
We've also worked hard on our Hey Ewe songs and completed our first run-though. Please help your child to learn their lines if they have them.
Heads-up - in maths next week, we'll be beginning to tell the time, so perhaps you could have a go at looking at clocks at home and reading time to the half hour and quarter past/to.
Enjoy the three days!

Today, children have been given a food journal to fill in. This is linked to our science topic of animals, including humans. We will then use this journal to look at our diets and see if they are balanced. If they could be returned by next Tuesday please. I will be filling one in too so let's see what we discover ...
Here is a link to the journal in case any get misplaced!

We've had a great week, with rehearsals starting for the Christmas play. All children have brought home a little letter about their costume, but please do come and see us of you need any help with this. Children have also brought home a leaflet about the Scholastic book fair which starts a week on Monday. The children will be able to view the books next Wednesday. This is a great way to help our school keep our library well-stocked with all the latest titles because for every book you buy, we can get a book for school.
Thank you for all your Christmas Fayre donations so far, still plenty of time to bring in chocolate or bottles for the tombola.
Homework this week includes words with the 'ige' ending which we have looked at previously in school and Mathletics is all about word problems. Please can you support your child to complete these activities, last week we were Mathletics KS1 champions but this week Year 1 took the trophy! Let's see if we can regain it next week (I'm not competitive at all...)
Have an amazing weekend!

Thank you to everyone who donated to Children In Need today. We had a great time completing some of the Joe Wicks workouts.
This week we have been working on our sentences using DADWAVERS to help us - why not ask your child what DADWAVERS stands for?
I've set some Mathletics homework of adding and subtracting this week, but I've encouraged the children to do as much as they can on Mathletics next week as it is the 'November Numeracy Challenge', where there are big prizes to be won. We will be competing with children all over the UK, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Written homework is to write a book review as we so love sharing our books in Year 2!
Have a lovely weekend

Happy Friday everyone!
We've had a lovely first week back, despite the rain. The children have been introduced to our new book 'Journey', which is a beautiful picture book. We have now started to write the narrative using descriptive sentences.
Today, we have started to design and prepare our materials for making puppets. The children drew their own snowman design and then created a pattern. These were not easy tasks as they then had to pin their patterns onto felt ready to cut out. Over the next few weeks, they will be sewing the pieces together.
In maths we've been doubling and halving plus we've completed our first steps in multiplication. So this week's Mathletics is all about counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. Written homework is about nouns - remember 'people, places and things'. Has your child told you all about 'Litz Blitz'? Why not ask them about it?!
Next Friday is Children in Need day and we've invited children to wear their PE kits as we will be participating in the Big Morning Move with Joe Wicks. You can donate £1 for this very special cause and more information can be found here: Children in Need
Enjoy your weekend!
