1st July 2013


Well, we really are hurtling towards the end of another successful year, but that doesn't mean we are slowing down and there is still lots to get through.

Literacy

We will be updating any final assessments, ready to pass up to the next class teacher, as well as finalising any information which you receive in your child's end of year report next week.

Could we please ask that if you have any outstanding reading or library books, then they are returned to school by the end of this week, so that our stock levels may be checked.

Maths

This week in Maths we will be reviewing Capacity.

Year 1 children will compare two or more capacities by direct comparison and measure capacities using uniform non-standard units.

Year 2 children will estimate a capacity, recording estimates; read a simple capacity scale and estimate, measure and compare capacities in litres and millilitres.

Encourage your children to look at items at home which have a measure of capacity on them, especially those recorded in millilitres. Get them to compare and estimate amounts.

Some websites to help:-

 


 


 


 

Topic

 

The children will study and discuss the various minibeasts to be found in the locality. We are going to go into the allotment to see what creepy crawlies we can find. They will identify and categorise each one, looking at insects, spiders, worms and so on. They then will choose one for a close observation drawing. This will link into the work of continuing ECO Week!


FOSV Disco

There will be a KS1 disco on Thursday from 6.00-7.30pm. Since this is at the same time as the 5/6 team will be returning from Alton Towers, could we please request that you DO NOT drive onto the school premises, for the safety of ALL our children. Many thanks for your co-operation in this matter.

FOSV Summer BBQ

This takes place this Friday from 5.30 onwards. Please check your child's bag for any YELLOW tickets that have already been distributed. Remember you can still pay on the door.

Enjoy your week!

Year 1/2 team
