Letters out this week

Sports Day

Condover letter – Current Year 2 and 3

Class 1 round up

Read Write inc:

This week the children have revised the trigraph ear – ‘Hear with  your ear’ and looked at the trigraph –  ure – ‘sure it’s pure’

ear            ure

Over the week the class revise words containing sounds from all the sets that we have covered:

green words 1           green words 2         green words 3

 

Maths:

The Class have continued to explore teen numbers, this week they have concentrated on 16, 17 and 18.  The children have used a variety of resources to support their learning including: numicon, unifix and 20 frames (plus counters).  The children are getting very good at explaining how they make these numbers and been able to explain to an adult or their friend what they know and how they know.

‘This is 16, because I have one 10 numicon and a 6 numicon.  10 add 6 is 16.’

The children have also displayed their number bond knowledge –  ‘this is 16 because I gave one 10 numicon,  4 numicon and a 2 numicon, 4 and 2 make 6, 10 and 6 is 16!’

One child told me, he had a “ magic crew” and in his crew there are numbers 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 number blocks. “ look what happens when we join them together.”

He added the number 5 and 4 numberblock. “This makes 9”
Then he  added the 3 “ this makes 12”
“ 2 more make 14 and 1 more is 15.”

Class 5 weekly update

Well done Class 5 on a brilliant week!

In English, we have focused on persuasive writing. We have talked about some very mature issues that our class novel has brought up and it has been lovely to hear the children’s thoughts and opinions. We have used a debate to get across points of view, countering arguments by using facts and evidence from the book. Everyone has shown fantastic listening skills and the mature approach that the children have taken towards this topic has been extremely impressive.

In Maths we have been multiplying fractions. The children have used their knowledge of times tables to show a high level of understanding, working with the inverse operation of division, identifying the relationships between numbers to simplify multiplied fractions and to convert them into mixed numbers.

We had our first swimming session on Tuesday which was brilliant. Well done to everyone, you were super organised and demonstrated some great swimming technique. Please make sure you remember your kit next Tuesday.

On Wednesday we attended Crucial Crew. Everybody joined in the activities, tried their best and had a great time. Well done Class 5, I’m glad you enjoyed the experience.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone, I’ll see you next week.

Mr Sudlow.

Class 1 weekly roundup

Class 1 have had a busy couple of weeks since they came back from the half term holiday.

Read Write Inc:

The children have looked at:  ew – ‘Chew the Stew’, ire – ‘Fire, Fire’ and ear – :What can you hear?’

ew         ire        ear

Maths:

Over the last 2 weeks Class 1 have concentrated on two digit numbers and looked closely at tens and ones (early place value).  We have had hands-on lessons using our tens and ones.  The children have used the language of ‘One ten and 3 ones make 13’ and have had to prove how they know this.  Some examples have included :

‘I know it is 13 because because there are 3 ones and one 10. 13 is one more than 12.  I know there are 10 (on the 20 frame) and 3 ones underneath.  It’s not 14 because there are only 3 ones.’   So far we have looked at numbers up to 15.
