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!

A huge thank you to all of our year 2 parents who came along today to support the children in year 2 with their exercise and fitness!
I was blown away, not only by the fact that all children were fully involved but also by the amount of parents and grandparents that joined in (and dare I say enjoyed our zumba class?)
We saw lots of smiles, laughing and some really great dancers! A special shout out to all of the dads that got involved too, you were awesome!
Thank you so much for supporting your children’s learning as always, we really do appreciate it!
I need to also give a shout out to Mrs Rayner who not only taught some very complicated dance moves to 60 children but also to our parents too- you were amazing!
Thanks, Mrs Shaw and the year 2 team x x
This was some great consolidation of previous learning and I love how they worked in groups to label parts of their body and think about the 5 senses that we have! Great work year 2
