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.

Victorian Day

19 November 2010

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.

This week’s spellings for Bananas and Oranges have plurals with an ‘s’.

Apples have some high-frequency words to remember. They will be tested on 25 Friday 2010.

Your homework this week is creative and is due on Wednesday 24 November.

I can express my opinions about our Victorian Day.

We had lots of fun and interactive learning on Victorian Day. This creative homework is to explain all about the events and activities that the children experienced during the day.

This piece of work could be:

• drawings
• writing
• a picture collage
• an illustrated list

or

• your own idea!

Have fun!

Helping your child at home

Thank you to everyone who came to the curriculum meeting yesterday. If you could not make it  please let us know as we will be arranging a morning session very soon for those parents who wish to attend.

For information on how we teach maths using Numicon there is a useful parent’s page on their website.

For more information on the correct pronunciation of phonemes this website is very useful.
