Class 2
Hello and welcome back after the Christmas break. We will be starting off the new year with our topic of food glorious food. During this topic we will be exploring different foods, where they came from and key people such as John Cadbury. In science we will be exploring every day materials and finding out what things are made from.
Please note our P.E. lessons will be on Monday and Thursday, however this could change at any time. Also please make sure your child has a full kit that is labeled with their name.
Reading
Can we please make sure that you are reading as often as you can with your child. Reading at this early age is so important, and makes a huge difference in school. We will make sure that we listen to them read at least twice a week whilst also changing reading books as often as necessary. Whilst reading it is important that you get your child to understand what they are reading. The best way to do this is to ask lots of questions about what the characters are doing and the story in general.
If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask.

The homework for this week is to practice some times tables. Most children should be able to count in 2's but they might need a little support in writing these down i.e. 1 X 2 = 2. I would like at least the 2x table to be written down and returned to school by the end of next week. If your child is confident then the next one that we learn is the 10s then 5s then 3s, but there is no expectation to do these. There is also a good web game that can help with recall of times tables on the following link. cgpbooks.co.uk/timestables .
This weeks spelling lists are attached below.
Thank you for all your hard work.

This weeks homework is to practice our counting on and counting back skills. We have been covering this all week so your child should be able to complete this by themselves. There is a harder sheet if you wish to complete that as well, but you may need to help your child.

This weeks homework is to complete the about me sheet that was handed out last week. As mentioned in the instructions you can make this what you wish. I have included a template for guidance but you don't have to stick to it and if you need more space than A4 then this is also fine. Please note I haven't sent any spellings out this week this is to give more time to complete the about me work.
Thanks

This weeks homework is finding one more and one less. We have covered this several times over the past few weeks so your child should be able to complete this independently. If you wish to do 10 more and 10 less then you should be able to edit the document and do this if you so wish, this is optional!
Also I have not done any spellings for the half term so don't worry if a list didn't come home.
Thank you and have a good half term.

This weeks homework is on estimating numbers to 20. We have been covering estimating over the past few days in our lessons so your child should be able to complete this independently. They should estimate the number first and then count how many there are in each question, I am not looking for exact estimations jut reasonable ones. Please can we make sure that all homework and spellings are completed and returned back to school by Friday 6th, thank you.

This weeks homework is on practicing our number bonds to 10. We have been doing this a lot over the past few weeks in maths, so your child should be able to complete this independently however, they may benefit from using something to count. i.e. cubes. If you wish to try the number bonds to 20 sheet then this is also available to try.
Thanks
