Final Home Learning task of the half term!
During maths this week, we have revisited speedy recall of number bonds to 10 and writing fact families for calculations (e.g. 20 = 17+3, 3+17=20, 20 -3= 17, 20 - 17 = 3).
The children have also practised subtracting in ones and then using their knowledge to help them add and subtract in tens e.g. I know 3 + 2 = 5 so 3 tens + 2 tens = 5 tens or 30 + 20 = 50. Further reinforement of this skills has been set on Doodle for this week's maths assignment.
We have set another Year 2 Common Exception words practice list on Doodle spelling also. We have been to reinforcing the Common Exception words door, floor, poor and eye throughout the week and within continuous provision.

During maths this week, we have continued comparing numbers and using our place value knowledge to order numbers from smallest to greatest. We have also practised counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s, using visuals and practical resources as support. Please continue to practise counting in steps of 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s from different starting points e.g. 47,57,67,77. For this week's Home Learning task, please find the assignment set on Doodle for counting in 3s for additional practice.
We have set another Year 2 Common Exception words practice list on Doodle spelling also. We have continued to reinforce the Common Exception words walk, talk, any and anyone throughout the week and within continuous provision.

During maths this week, we have been working on applying our place value and number knowledge to help us compare numbers and order numbers using the vocabulary (greater than, more than, fewer than, less than, greatest, smallest and equal to). The children have been introduced to the < and > (greater than and less than) symbols also. This week's maths task is further consolidation of this knowledge. Please see the maths tasks set on Doodle.
During spelling this week, we have had a particular focus on spelling the Year 2 red words any, anyone, talk and walk. Ask your child if they can remember the tricky parts! We have also set a spelling assignment on Doodle for further practice of a variety of Year 2 Common Exception words.
We have loved seeing and hearing the children's enthusiasm for reading as they talk about favourite Borrow Books they have shared. Please continue to read daily to support fluency and comprehension skills.
Thank you for your support.

This week during maths, we have been practising counting in patterns of 10s and 1s. We have been using our counting knowledge to estimate numbers on a number line e.g. half way betweeen 20 and 30 is 25. During arithmetic practice, we have continued to reinforce the crucial skills of addition and subtraction and recalling number bonds to 20. For this week's maths task, we have set two counting assignments on Doodle maths. One assigment is revision of Year 1 curriculum expecations of counting forwards and backwards in 1s within 100 and the other assignment is further practice of counting in 10s from different starting points. Any practice counting from different starting numbers in 1s and 10s within 100 in the car, when walkin or on bus to school would be beneficial (especially crossing a '10s boundary e.g. 79 - 80, 60 - 59 etc..).
For spelling practice this week, we have set revision of Year 1 Common exeption words as an assignment on Doodle spell. Again, if your child is confidently spelling these words correctly as a word and within sentences, please feel free to choose additional words from the Y1 and Y2 Common Exception words list (see files section below).

This week during maths, we have been practising partitioning 2 digit numbers into tens and ones, in a variety of ways using tens and ones as support. We have found out that there are lots of combinations of parts to make the same number! E.g. 62 = 60 + 2, 62 = 50 + 12, 40 + 22 etc... We have also been practising writing 2 digit numbers in words too.
For this week's maths task, we have set an assignment on Doodle for further consolidation of writing numbers in numerals and words. You will also see that a spelling assignment has been set. Again, we have set Year 1 Common exception words revision as an assignment on Doodle. If your child is confidently spelling these words correctly as a word and within sentences, please feel free to choose additional words from the Y1 and Y2 Common Exception words list (see files section below).
Take a look at your child's Borrow book they have chosen; they always look forward to sharing storytime with you!

Today the children have brought home their Home Learning books with their Doodle login details inside. In the files section below, you will find this half term's Home Learning grid detailing optional topic activities and the 'essentials' of what has to be done each week.
For maths this week, we have been developing our understanding of place value and what each digit in a 2-digit number represents. E.g 65 has 6 tens and 5 ones, 60 + 5 = 65. An assignment has been set on Doodle for this week's maths task to reinforce this learning at home. Last week, we also revisited numbers to 20 and practised spelling numbers to 20 in words. Any additional ongoing reinforcement of this would be beneficial.
For this week's spelling task, we have set Year 1 Common exception words revision as an assignment on Doodle. If your child is confidently spelling these words correctly as a word and within sentences, please feel free to choose additional words from the Y1 and Y2 Common Exception words list (see files section below).
