What’s happening this term:

Literacy - In Literacy we will be looking at writing our own narratives and setting descriptions, with a focus on exciting adjectives in Year 1 and expanded noun phrases in Year 2. We will also be using our History topic to inspire recount writing about a school day in the past, focusing specifically on using past tense verbs and the suffix -ed in Year 1 and irregular verbs in Year 2.

Maths - In Year 1, we will start by looking at place value up to 50 and then will move onto measuring lengths and capacity. The half term homework will really help familiarise your children with two-digit numbers beyond 50 and giving your child opportunities to measure weight at home in the kitchen and out in the garden using objects to measure length will be of benefit as well. In Year 2, we will be continuing with multiplication and division, with a focus on the 2s, 5s and 10s and then will also be moving onto measurement looking at home to measure using standard units - metres, centimetres, millilitres and litres.
