Hello Class 2 Parents,
I hope you have all had a good week. We've had a very good week in Class 2 - there has been a lot going on.
Hats!
Please make sure your child's hat is named and is in school on hot sunny days. This is particularly important on a Wednesday when we have outdoor PE for an hour in the afternoon. Thank you!
In our story the children finally arrived at Jomo Kenyatta airport in Nairobi. They were greeted by a friendly woman at the information desk. She asked them what their plans were and, when she heard they were looking for a crocodile, she pointed them in the direction of the Maasai Mara Nature Reserve.
The children learnt about the (physical) geographical features of the Maasai Mara and made a map together.
In phonics the children have completed their Phonics Screening Check. Thank you for all of your help with practising this. You will be informed of how your child got on as part of their end-of-year reports.
In spellings the children have been looking at words ending in 'sion' or 'sure'. If you want to practise them, the focus words are here.
In maths they have continued their work on division - this time, dividing equally (so for example, 12 sweets divided equally between 4 children equals 3 each) Year 1 have mainly focussed on using concrete objects to divide equally, while Year 2 have been using arrays and writing the formal number sentences with the divide symbol.
Everyone's maths homework this week is to show division by sharing out in any practical way you like, and send me a photograph via the school email (or print a photograph for your child's homework folder).
Year 1 children could:
Everyone's maths homework this week is to show division by sharing out in any practical way you like, and send me a photograph via the school email (or print a photograph for your child's homework folder).
Year 1 children could:
* divide some counters equally between teddies
* divide some sweets equally between themselves and their siblings
* divide some dried pasta equally between bowls
Practise saying the sentence _____ divided equally between _____ equals ____ each (eg 12 divided equally between 4 equals 3 each).
Year 2 children could use any objects they like and divide them equally by making an array - so for example, if you have 21 objects, you could divide them equally bewtween 3 rows so that you end up with 7 in each row. Then try writing the formal number sentence using the division symbol.
I think that's everything for now.
