8th April 2013


Welcome back to the Summer term, which is the last one in the infants for our Year 2 children!

As the good weather seems to have arrived (albeit a little later than planned), the children may now wear their Summer uniform when they return on Tuesday at 8.45am.

Literacy

This week, we will be completing our information texts about Dinosaurs, but also starting a new topic of Journey into Space. We would like the children to start to find out about Space, the planets, rockets, astronauts etc., in preparation for some fantastic writing opportunities and role plays that we have planned!

Maths

This week in Maths we will be learning about place value of numbers.

Year 1 children will  begin to partition 2-digit numbers into Tens and Units; and order numbers to at least 30; say a number lying between two numbers.

 

Year 2 children will begin to partition 3-digit numbers into Hundreds, Tens and Units; and to round numbers less than 100 to the nearest 10.

It is vital that all children really understand the concept of place value as it is the basis for many other important aspects of maths.

Topic

In this session the children will read, enjoy and learn by heart, The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear. They will compose poems about space journeys based on the same pattern, then read a range of poems with the theme of space. Create imaginary aliens and write a counting poem about them.
