We would like you to practise forming numbers correctly at home. This means you need to think about making sure they are facing the right way and are formed carefully so that they can’t be mistaken for a different number. If you are writing 2 digit numbers you need to check that you have got the digits in the right order so that numbers like 12 don’t look like 21!
Here are some activities that you can download and do at home to help you practise.

Today we have been making the frames for the houses that we are going to use to make a replica London street from 1666. We measured the wood and then cut it to the right lengths. We sanded the ends down and explored different ways to join the wood and make the best frames. Next week we will finish the houses ready to burn them down in our own Great Fire!
In the next couple of weeks, we are going to be electing our new School Council members. For your homework we would like you to write a speech, with your grown ups, to present to the class about which school council you would like to be part of and why you should be elected.
The school councils we have are:
In Science we have been looking at our local habitats. We explore the wooded area on the school field and recorded what we found in our wildlife notebooks.
Activities for children accessing their learning from home will all be on Teams. Please be aware that this is only for the children at home, as the children in school will be completing the same learning.
We are moving away from formal spelling tests in Pimhill and Haughmond, and will instead be working on the application of correct spellings in written work. However, if you would like to continue to work on spellings with your child at home, the below attachments are the common exception words for Year One and Year Two. These are sometimes referred to as ‘tricky words’ as they do not follow the spelling patterns that children learn in Key Stage One.
This week I would like you to re-familiarise yourselves with Reading Eggs. Spend some time exploring the site, playing some games, and if it says you need to complete a placement test, please do that. If you don’t have your login details anymore, let me know and I will print them off again.
If you would like something else to do, you could carry out the same investigation as we did with the trees in Science. Remember you need to put a white sheet or similar underneath the branches before you shake them so you can see what falls out.
Remember to keep up with your daily reading and practising your spelling words.

Welcome back to a brand new year!
This term we are going to be focusing on a History topic, called Fire! Fire! We will be learning all about The Great Fire of London and The Gunpowder Plot.
Here is some useful information for the term ahead:
PE sessions this term are on a Wednesday and Thursday. Starting from the week beginning 6th September please could you come to school in your P.E. kit on those days.
Spellings are tested each Tuesday morning, which is is also when the new ones are handed out. Please make sure spelling books are in school everyday.
Homework is given out on a Friday, and is due in the following Friday morning. This term homework will typically be based online and you will be able to find the information both on Teams and on here.
As well as the weekly homework, please remember to read regularly at home, along with practising your spellings, and if you are in Year Two, learning your 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
