Homework week beginning 1st November

 Here are the words we will be learning to spell at school this week. If you have time it would be great for the children to learn them at home too. The spelling test is on Friday

Maths Homework

Following all our work on addition and subtraction last half term, I have set "Sums crossing 10" on MyMaths. For questions 2 the children will need paper and pencil so that they can work these calculations out using the column method we have learned at school.
Don't forget TTRockstars which can always be accessed to help with 10 and 2 times tables

Reading Homework

Please return reading books on Mondays so they can go out again on Thursday
Library sessions are on Wednesdays
If you are looking for more things to read don't forget about the SORA app where children can access hundreds of books electronically

Homework week beginning 18th October

Here are the words we will be learning to spell at school this week. They are homophones, words that sound the same but have different meanings. If you have time it would be great for the children to learn them at home too. The spelling test will be on Friday.

Maths Homework

This week we have been starting to add and subtract 2 digit numbers however quite a few children weren't confident at adding numbers up to 10 together so the maths games I have chosen encourage the children to get more fluent and confident at this. We encourage them to use fingers or put one number in their head and count on or back if they don't yet know the answer by heart. Ideally they should be working these out quickly or knowing the answers by heart with practice.



Reading Homework

Please can library books be returned on Wednesdays unless not finished

Reading books back on Monday and then they will go home again on Thursday

Homework week beginning 11th October

Here are the words we will be learning to spell at school this week. They are homophones - words that sound the same but have different meanings. If you have time it would be great for the children to learn them at home too. The spelling test will be on Friday

Maths Homework

This week we have been learning to add and subtract single digits to numbers up to 100, by putting the largest number in our heads and then either counting on or back.
 I have set 2 tasks on My Maths for the children to do linked to what they have been doing at school. (Some children have needed a 100 square to help them, if you google 100 square you will find ones for the children to use to count on or back with)
If your child is eager you can of course continue to work on TT Rockstars and we have been playing on Robot More or Less too as an extra.

Reading Homework

Library books back on Wednesday

Reading books back on Monday and then they will be sent home again on Thursday

Reading for pleasure 

 It was National Poetry Day last week so we have been reading, watching and enjoying a few poems this week, feel free to find some poems to read and enjoy

Many thanks for your ongoing support

Homework week beginning 4th October

Here are the words we will be learning at school this week ( the last set of Y1 tricky words), if you have time it would be great for the children to learn them at home too. The spelling test will be on Friday.

Maths Homework

This week we have been working on learning the addition and subtraction facts that make 10, 20 and 100. To help the children consolidate this please can the children go onto Hit the Button and work on  Number bonds - make 10, make 20 and/or make 100 (tens). I would suggest starting with 10 and then moving onto 20 and 100 when the children are confident with 10, as the children use the numbers bonds to 10 to work out ones to 20 and 100.

Reading Homework
