Homework Friday 18th September 2020

Posted: Sep 18, 2020 by: Emma Barker (EBarker) on: Class 2

Happy Friday everyone! Firstly a huge thank you to the adults and children for being so organised and coming into school on Tuesday and Thursday in PE kits! The children really enjoyed the new dance session on Thursday. Today we were so excited because we had our first virtual whole school assembly! We gave out merits in each class and the children could see every class and listen to who had been awarded. We were all so thrilled that the technology worked!

This week, we've also managed to get into the woodland area to do some outdoor maths looking at partitioning numbers...

We used sticks and leaves to represent the tens and ones. 

Following on from this, the Mathletics homework for this week looks at counting in 2s, 5s and 10s as well as partitioning. Your child has brought home their homework tonight, which has their Mathletics password at the front. You'll also find their PurpleMash code and Spelling Shed details (Edshed, as it's now know).

I've set a few spellings on Spelling Shed - numbers, please practise these this week for a small test next Friday. Lastly, in the homework book there are two sheets of Year 1 common exception words (red words). Please sit with your children and see if they can independently read each word - if they can just give them a tick. Then they need to write each word on the line. You might need to do a few words at a time, rather than all at once. Ideally, all children need to be able to spell these words.

Thank you so much for your support with homework. Next week I will have some lovely volunteers in school and we will be able to start sending scheme reading books home again.

A reminder that the summer challenge sheets are due on Monday 21st September. Winners to be announced next week!

Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Monday!

Mrs Barker
