Homework:

 

Spelling task: We will send the words the children have been practising in class on a Monday. They need to look at the word, cover it, have a go at writing it and then check to see if they have spelt it correctly. We hope to see these words spelt correctly when the children use them in their writing.

 

Please also keep practicing the common exception words using the word mat we sent home in the Autumn term. 

 

Maths: Keep practising your number bonds, quick recall of addition and subtraction facts to 20. Look around your surroundings, which numbers can you see? Think about how numbers are made- how many tens and how many ones can you see in 2-digit numbers?

 

This term, we will recap numbers to 50 and learn them up to 100. Practise writing them at home and do simple addition and subtraction. We have learnt how to borrow and exchange tens and ones when working with larger numbers and crossing the tens boundary. Please keep practising this with your child. 

 

Reading: Please read with your child at least three times a week and sign your child’s reading diary. Your child will bring home a book on their reading colour or phonics level to read themselves plus a book from the class library to share with a grown up. As always, there are prizes for reading milestones! Reading folders need to be brought to school every day. We will count the reads on a Thursday ready to give out the reading rewards on a Friday.
