Hello Class 2 Parents,
We've had another good week in Class 2.
In our story the children continued in their roles as serfs. They set out their own small plot of land, complete with wattle-and-daub cottage, cows for milking, chickens for eggs, apple and pear trees and vegetable crops. They helped out their neighbour Hannah, who had been told by the lord of the manor that she had to leave her cottage because she was too old to work on the land any more.
In writing lessons the children finished writing their guided Jack and the Beanstalk stories, which they are very proud of. Next, they will be making up their own version and writing it independently.
In maths the children finished off their unit of work on multiplication. They continued to practise making arrays and solved problems involving multiplication. The Year 1 children continued with their work on repeated additions while the Year 2 children continued to learn about multiplication. Both year groups have been practising the 2, 5 and 10x table (Year 1 mainly counting in 2s, 5s and 10s and Year 2 working out the related multiplication facts).
Year 1 maths homework is here.
Year 2 maths homework is here.
In phonics Year 1 children have been revisiting ways to spell the sound 'oo' : u_e, ue and ew.
In spellings Year 2 children contined their work on suffixes, this time learning to drop-the-y-and-add-an-i when putting a verb into the past tense; for example, cried, spied, fried, supplied.
* Spelling homework this week is to work on your child's own individual spelling cards with them; they will be tested on their spelling of these high frequency/tricky words next week. *
I am looking forward to catching up with you all at parents' evenings next week!
Have a good weekend,
Mrs Simpson
