Maths in F2 -weeks 1 and 2

By Mrs Price6th January 2020

We are learning numbers to 20. For some of us this means counting 20 objects. Some of us will be focusing on recognition of the numbers. We will be adding and subtracting using numbers to 20 and some of us will then go on to do problem solving and reasoning.

These are some websites with ideas and resources that you may find useful.

Who is in the woods?

By Mrs Price6th January 2020

We had an enjoyable start to hook week. We learnt to sign Who is in the woods?. We went outside and looked at the trees and leaves. We thought about what they felt like, looked like and what we could hear.

We have played in provision exploring our new resources. We particularly enjoyed the clay.

 

We are walking to the woods tomorrow. We will need waterproofs and wellies.

Reading rewards

19th December 2019Mrs Price

In January, we will be starting a reward system for reading across the year group.. Every child who reads at least three times a week at home will get a sticker at the end of the week. If they complete each week of the half term then they will get a reward.

 

To help in this, please can you help your child with the following?

 

  1. Ensure that you write in the yellow reading diary when your child has read, even if this is just the pages they have read.

 

  1. Ensure that the yellow reading diary is in school with their book each day.

 

  1. Come into school in a morning and help your child to change their book when it needs changing. If their book doesn’t need changing then they can place it on the table in their classroom for checking.

 

  1. If your child is at breakfast club, please speak to the breakfast club staff and let them know if your child’s book needs changing. We will then help them to change it when they come down to F2.

 

Thank you for your support

Amazing writing and bridge building

By Mrs Price15th November 2019

Well done F2. Everyone was really engaged in their writing. Most children remembered to use first, next, then, after that and finally like we did in the re-telling of our visit.

In maths we have been using positional words and have used them in our model making. We have created bridges to help us cross the river.

 

We used the puppets to practice positional language and to describe to our friends where the puppet was.

We have also been practising months of the year and how they match to the seasons.
