6 years ago Posted on 18th Dec 2020 by Mrs Morris Water bottles Please could I ask that the water bottles the children bring into class, after Christmas, are plastic bottles that have a non-spill spout. Some children have been bringing in large, metal, flask like bottles with lids that come off completely. This has meant some very large puddles and everyone jumping when they bang onto the table! Many thanks.

6 years ago Posted on 18th Nov 2020 by Mrs Morris Reading Cards Good morning, I hope you are all very well. In your child’s reading record you will find a new reading card stapled into the cover. We have used these before in Class 2 and we find that they can motivate the children that are a little reluctant to read at home and reward those who do read at home. If they have read at home and it’s been recorded in their record by an adult, when they put their book in the blue box they will get a number crossed off. For every ten reads they will receive a house point. When their reading card is full it will be saved and replaced. It has worked well in the past and the children enjoy receiving house points for their efforts.
6 years ago Posted on 12th Nov 2020 by Mrs Morris Parents Afternoon Times If you have returned the Parents Afternoon form to request a time for a telephone appointment, your child will be bringing home a slip today with your time slot.

6 years ago Posted on 11th Oct 2020 by Mrs Morris Science Investigation In Science, Class 2 have been exploring materials. We carried out an investigation to test the absorbency of seven different materials. Before testing the materials we predicted what the outcome would be. We dipped the materials in water, coloured with blue paint so we could see the liquid soaking into each material. To make sure it was a ‘fair test’ we made each piece of material the same size and dipped them into the liquid at the same time, then waited 30 seconds.

6 years ago Posted on 29th Sep 2020 by Mrs Morris Maths at Home In Maths, we having been working on place value. Please find below some information and resources that will support your child at home. Year 1 – Please practise counting from any number up to 100. Focus, in particular, on the numbers that change into the next tens number. Eg, 19 – 20, 29 – 30, 39 – 40. When counting this is a sticking point, they don’t know what comes after 19, 29, 39, 49 and so on. Practise writing numbers from 0 – 20, forming numbers correctly. Lots of children form numbers back to front. This is completely normal for this age group. Ask them to write the numbers out of order too. Have a go at the ‘Helicopter Rescue’ game below and use ‘Paint the Squares’ to help with counting. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/helicopter-rescue https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares Year 2 – Practise reading, writing and counting all the numbers from 0 to 100. You should be able to count forwards and backwards from any number. Practise counting in steps of 2, 5, and 10. It is important you can do this for when we do multiplication. Use ‘Paint the Squares’ below to help you. Look for the patterns and think about what the numbers end in. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares If you are fluent with 2, 5 and 10, try steps of 3. Practise counting tens and ones to work out what number is being represented. Use ‘Place Value Basketball’ below. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/place-value-basketball Remember, don’t worry if you find something difficult. Keep trying and you will get there in the end!

6 years ago Posted on 13th Jul 2020 by Mrs Morris Weekly Activities – 13.7.20 Good morning Class 2! Well, we have come to the end of the school year and what a strange one it has been. I feel very fortunate that I had you as a class for the first half of the year and very sad that we weren’t able to continue our year together, as normal. You were a wonderful class that had so much enthusiasm for everything we did. Well done for all your hard work over the last few months. I have all those photographs of your lovely work and activities and it will be nice, at some point, to share those together. Also, an enormous thank you to all the parents that have supported you, whilst home schooling. I’m sure there were some very stressful times but hopefully lots of memorable and positive moments too! I wish you all a lovely Summer and look forward to us being together again in September. During the last week of the school year, it’s normally more relaxed so please just dip into the activities for this week and do what you think you might enjoy.
