Your homework this week is Talk Time.

I can talk about our Assembly on Victorians.  

Discuss and share ideas and thoughts about our assembly including your role as well as the roles of other people. Discuss what you enjoyed and what you hope people learnt from our assembly.

…or…

I can keep calm or help others to calm down.

Discuss and share the things we have talked about in school about keeping calm. Share strategies and try and find the best methods for keeping calm that you and your parents use.

Make notes in your homework book to show the things you discussed.

Homework is due on Wednesday 01 December.

Moortown Puppeteers

As well as being fantastic playground designers, Year 1 have proved that they are also very creative when it comes to puppets.  All they were given was a wooden spoon and some material and they came up with some really different ideas.  We were joined by wizards, a werewolf, Harry Potter and many more characters.  As you may have noticed, these additions have been brought home as the children were so proud of them.  We hope that you continue to enjoy many puppet shows!!

SEAL statement 22 November

‘I can keep calm or help others to calm down’ is the new SEAL statement for this week. 

In class children will be learning about a variety of techniques to use if they need to calm down. 

Some of these techniques include:

• taking deep breaths
• walking away from the situation
• tell someone how you feel
• have a drink of water

Have a look at the calming down keyrings in each classroom for more ideas.

This week’s homework is practice makes perfect and is due in on Wednesday 24 November.

The children have a worksheet with some clock faces on them. They have to look at the clock face and work out the time. The time should then be written in words, underneath the clock face.

Good luck.

The homework this week is Talk Time homework and is due in on Wednesday 24 October.

I can talk about toys from other countries.

• What toys do children have in other countries?
• Are any of them the same as the ones we have in England?
• Which of our toys come from outside England? How do you know?
• How much do toys cost in other countries?

Why not inspect your toy to see if you can find any clues?

The homework this week is ‘Practice Makes Perfect’ and is due in Wednesday 23 November.

I can add on a number line.

I would like Cubes to add along a number line with single digit numbers (e.g. 4 +3 = ?)

I would like Spheres to add along a number line with a two digit number and a single digit number (e.g. 23 + 5).

I would like Cylinders to add a single digit number onto a two digit number using an numberless number line. For example, in the sum 48 + 9 they should do as follows:

+2                    +7

——————————————-

48            50                          57

I would like Cones to add two digit numbers using the method above or this alternative: In the sum 23 + 35 they can:

+ 5            + 10                       +10                     +10

————————————————————————————-

23          28                  38                          48                        58

We don’t usually do ‘Practice Makes Perfect’ but I really feel the children would benefit from solving some subtraction calculations at home.
