Week
beginning 25.11.13
Hello and welcome to another busy week in school.
The children have been working really hard over the past week
to practice their Christmas Play and an equal amount of effort will be put in
over the coming week!! You are all in for a great treat when you come to see
it!
Please could you send in costumes on THURSDAY 28th
NOVEMBER so that we can check that the children have everything they need for
the dress rehearsal on Monday. Please could you put them in a bag with the
child’s name on. Thank you.
It’s nearly time for the Christmas Party and letters will be
going out asking for money to provide the goodies for the party. Please could
you check in your child’s bag.
Also the weather is getting chilly so please could you make
sure that the children have a warm coat, gloves and hat as we will still be
going outside at playtime for fresh air and exercise.
English
This week in English we are continuing the unit on
Instructions. As this time of year has lots of interesting and exciting events
what better than to write instructions about them! We will be looking at
‘bossy’ verbs (doing words)which could be used to make our instruction more
interesting. We will also be looking at the format of instructions and the
things which need to be included to make them easy to follow. For example,
numbers, bullet points, an equipment box, using ordering words, bossy verbs,
clear language.
Have a look at home for any instructions you can find and see
if you can see any ordering words-m first, next, then, after, finally.
We will also be working on basic skills in reading and writing
including developing the use of verbs and the correct use of capital letters
and full stops.

Maths
This week in Maths we will be
learning about money. We will begin by checking that the children can recognise
all the coins in circulation from a 1p coin up to a £2 coin. Next we will move
on to making set amounts of money using the coins before checking how much
change we will get when paying with a particular coin.
The Year 1 children will
recognise coins of different values; order coins according to their value;
exchange coins for 10p and 1p coins and find totals of sets of coins.
The Year 2 children will find
totals of sets of coins: relate to adding three or more numbers and pay an
exact sum using smaller coins up to £2.

Have a great week and thank you for your
continued support!
The Year 1/2 Team.
