This week in maths we have continued learning
about numbers and their place value within 50.
On
Tuesday we counted in 2s. When
counting the socks below it is quicker to count the pairs and count in
2s.
We had to remember to count
carefully.
We counted in 2s in a number grid and talked about the pattern
that emerged. Follow the link to do the same. We noticed when counting in 2s
the numbers are all even numbers.https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares
Next we looked at some number tracks and continued the count either forwards or back in 2s.
You many like to ask your child a question like the one below
On Thursday we counted in 10s, again
counting in 10s is quicker than counting in ones. Use the link above to see the pattern that
emerges. What do you notice about the
tens and ones do they stay the same or change?
More home learning for this week
Help your child to learn to count in
·
2s forwards and backwards to 20 then 50
·
10s forwards and backwards to 100
Get some 2p coins and count in 2s. Do the
same with 10p coins.
Drop some 2p coins into a tin ask your
child to count in 2s as they drop in.
Can they tell you the total amount you dropped in? Count the coins to check.
Follow the links to play games that
consolidate counting in 2s and 10s

In English this
week we reviewed our instructions writing, using our success criteria. We gave
ourselves a tick if we had:
·
Started
with the title
·
Written
the instructions in the correct order
·
Numbered
our instructions
·
Started
each one with a verb
·
Put
each new instruction on a new line
·
Started
each instruction with a capital letter
·
Formed
our letters correctly
·
Used
our phoneme fingers to spell unknown words
The next day
we had a letter from the Mayor, inviting Crabtree to enter a story writing
competition. We all planned a new version of our ‘Space Party’ story, using a
story grid. The next day we wrote our story, remembering to use capital
letters, full stops and neat handwriting. We all included lots of interesting
story words and phrases to ensure the reader enjoys our story!
Please
encourage your child to practise forming all letters correctly and to spell the
Year One words that are in the home school book. Try dictating a sentence a day
for your child to write. Then they can mark it, checking for:
·
Start
with a capital letter
·
Use
finger spaces
·
Finish
with a full stop
·
Form
all letters correctly
·
Spell
key words correctly
·
Use
phoneme fingers for unknown words
We were all very disappointed that our trip to St Albans Abbey
could not go ahead on Friday. We hope to rearrange this soon. We hope that you
all stay warm and safe this weekend!
