The children all looked fabulous in their costumes this
week for World Book Day - a big thank you to all of you for getting them ready!
In Literacy this week, we will be working on
improving our Grammar skills, in particular, being able to use capital letter
and full stops in the correct place, including for Proper Nouns. We will also
be looking at using correct terminology when talking about grammar.
Some websites to help with spelling and grammar:

This will help with Look Say Cover
Write Check spellings
This week in Maths we will be continuing our work on
multiplication and beginning division.
Year 1 children will add by counting on, not bridging a multiple of
10 other than 10 or 20; and add two multiples of 10 by counting on in 10s.
Year 2 children will Introduce multiplication as repeated addition;
record facts using × and =; and begin to understand division as grouping.
It is important that your child is confidently able to
know and use the language of multiplication to achieve this objective and as always
your support at home is valued. It is never too early to start to learn times
tables beginning with the 2, 5 and 10 x tables.
Some
websites to help:-
On
Thursday afternoon, there will be a fundraising afternoon in the hall to raise
money for Comic Relief. If the children bring plenty of change, they can take
part in raffles, quizzes and lots of other exciting activities. On Friday
itself, the children can come into school wearing something RED AND they can
also wear SLIPPERS, to show how comfortable we are, and that
some of the people we are raising money for are not.
We
will let you know how the children got on with their book covers next week - we
hope you enjoyed doing them and that you had some great discussion about your
child's favourite book, as well as your own?
We
hope you all have a relaxing Mother's Day and that the children have shared
their cards with you!
Year
1/2 team.
