We have been learning about fractions this week with a focus on 1/2, 1/4 and 1/3. The children have been finding fractions of shapes, amounts and then problem solving to support their understanding. The focus on the rockstars today was to divide and times by 2 to support their knowledge of halving…well done class 9!

What does 100 look like?
Choose a random object from your house and count out 100! Will you choose to count 100 pasta pieces, 100 pieces of cereal of even 100 socks!? Be as creative as you want to be and let’s see what 100 looks like!
If you can, put your 100 items in a bag and fetch them to show your teachers! Remember you can always send photographs to your teachers or to [email protected]
Some more examples might include:
We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Choose one (or more!) of the challenges below to complete at home this week! Don’t forget to get the whole family involved! If your child is in EYFS, please choose some of the activities from the ‘Year 1 and 2’ document 🙂
Remember to send any pictures to [email protected] or to your teachers. We can’t wait to see all of the maths around your home!
From Mrs Miller xx
Work together to see how many maths words you can think of for each letter of the alphabet! I’ll let you into a secret … J is a very tricky letter so I’ll be super impressed if anyone thinks of a maths word starting with J!
Please send your responses to [email protected] and / or bring them in to show your teachers!
We can’t wait to see how many words you come up with and who has the most creative words!
We are very excited to announce that we are launching Times Table Rockstars for our classes! Your child will be coming home this evening with login details for an exciting game to help them with their times tables. Your child’s class teacher will have set tables to practise in the garage section of the game. The more they play in this section the faster they will progress through the tables they need to learn. We will be checking the ‘heat map’ each week to see your child’s progress and move them to the next table once they have learned the one they have been set. You can set your own tables in the jamming section but try to stick to ones the children are currently learning…2s, 5s and 10s for year 1 and 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s for year 2. I have attached a video here and a letter here which will give you more information about the game and it’s different levels.
Any questions please see your child’s class teacher.
ROCK ON ROCKSTARS!!!!!!!!!
Here are some ideas for further study with your children at home. Please choose some ideas from the homework menu to practise with your child at home. We love to see what you have been working on and always share it in our crew sessions.
Have fun completing some of these activities together!

Class 9 had lots of fun today doing XP Outdoors today with Mr Kershaw. He created a fantastic lesson where the children got to experiment with musical sounds using items from our outdoor area. I was really impressed with the beats they were making and the different sounds they were creating together.
Great work class 9!

In our year 2 guided reading group, we have been using our inference and retrieval skills to answer questions about a text we have been reading this week. There has been some super skimming and scanning work happening as well as predictions about what will happen in the text.
Well done guys! Your reading is improving all of the time!
