Homework 10/01/20

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you have all had a wonderful break and spent some quality time together. It was great to see all the children back in school this week, and despite a few tears on Monday, we've successfully made it to Friday!
I wanted to say another huge thank you from myself, Miss Littler and Mrs Haley-Porteous for your wonderful Christmas cards and gifts - we really don't expect anything but equally appreciate all your kind gestures.
We have leaped into 2020 this week starting our new topic on 'Bonnie Scotland'. I hope you've had chance to read the Year 2 curriculum letter, which has an abundance of information about what we'll be learning this half term. You can download it here. It's worth printing this out and sticking it on the fridge for future reference. So this week we've looked at Katie Morag delivering the mail, Andy Scott's 'Kelpies', some children have made their shortbread and we've recapped on the continents, and countries that make up the UK. In maths we've been drawing graphs and looking at shape, so this is reflected in Mathletics homework. Mathletics still haven't solved the problem of assignments coming into view, so I've captured the homework here:
Paper-based homework is on adjectives.
Well done to everyone who joined in the reading bingo over the festive period, I had some lovely comments in reading records about this challenge. I will be giving out certificates on Monday in assembly.
Have an amazing weekend!
Mrs Barker
Happy Holidays!

A huge thank you for all your support during our first term - we've had a brilliant time and it's been a pleasure to see the children grow and progress.
This week has been a busy one, I was so proud of the children in their performance. They learned the songs and their lines like true professionals. Thank you for your time spent creating and gathering costumes, they looked amazing!
A huge thank you too for all your lovely cards and gifts, I feel truly spoilt. I hope you have a peaceful, cosy Christmas and a wonderful new year! I'll see you all back here on Monday the 6th January for another exciting term.

Happy Christmas!

Firstly, a huge thank you for all your support with costumes for our Christmas performance. We had our first mini dress rehearsal today and everyone looked amazing (I nearly cried)!
Next week is a hectic one with watching performances, taking part in performances and Christmas parties but I'm sure we will have a wonderful time. As a busy parent myself, I know how frantic life can be at this time of year. Therefore, I'm not going to set any homework until the new year. Mathletics will still be available to those who want to get on there (BTW, I realise that there is a problem with some people getting notification of the assignments I'm setting, I've contacted Mathletics to see if this problem can be resolved).
I look forward to seeing you next week and have a wonderful weekend.

Homework 6th December 2019

Apologies for the late blog, but I'm just catching up after the winter fair (plus two other winter fairs at my boys' schools!). Homework on Mathletics this week reflects our work in class - telling the time. Paper homework is a grammar task.
We are well into our rehearsals for Hey Ewe! and the children are doing a fantastic job, I'm so proud of them all. On our first performance - Tuesday 17th December, I will be leaving the KS1 team in charge as it is my littlest boy's nativity at Netherton Infants. I hope that you will all understand that it is really important for me to be there for this special moment and he really wants his mummy to be in the audience. Thank you for your understanding.
This week is very special as we have a fabulous pantomime in school on Tuesday morning - I'm sure this will be a real treat for everyone (oh yes it will!).
We will aim to change all the reading books as normal, but things are getting busy as we head towards Christmas, so please bear with us if you child's book doesn't get changed.

Homework 29th November 2019

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!
