Welcome to another week!
Maths
This week in Maths we will be continuing
to learn about finding the difference between two numbers plus finding halves
and quarters of numbers and shapes.
Year 1 children will find a
small difference between two numbers by counting on.
Year 2 children will begin to
recognise halves and quarters of shapes and numbers of objects.
Finding
halves and quarters of shapes and numbers lead in to learning about different
types of fractions and are an important part of mathematics.
Some websites to help:-
Literacy
The children will use the
book “Aliens love underpants” to look at different aspects of space. We will be
using questions to role play and hot seat “Aliens”.
We will also be using
story boards to retell the story using capital letters, full stops, imaginative
language, conjunctions and inverted commas.
The children can explore different aspects of the books by making an
alien passport and an alien character profile.
Activities can be
downloaded from this website:

This session starts a project of
creating a rocket for the classroom. The children look at features of a rocket
and how the design contributes to its ability to penetrate the atmosphere. All
of the children will design a big rocket which they will begin to make in the
next session.
The children will use photographs and
the internet to see different designs of rockets.
Science
We are looking at forces in science and have been discussing
pushes and pulls. We are going to be helping Discovery Dog solve another
problem. Naughty Nora has chewed up his favourite toys and Discovery Dog wants
to get a new ball to play with. He wants to choose a really bouncy one so we
are going to help him test some balls so that we can find the bounciest balls
for him! We will be planning the investigation this week, making sure that we
use fair testing.
Can you have a look around at home and find some pushes and
pulls?
Trip
As part of our topic on Space we have
arranged a trip to Jodrell Bank Space Centre for Monday 17th June.
The children will have the opportunity to join in with two workshops plus a
look around the centre. The cost of the trip will be £12 which includes the
coach and workshops. A letter will be sent out this week with more details.
Have an enjoyable week!
The Year One/Two team.
