Spellings

This week we are learning our Year 1 common exception word spellings. Lots of us are very good at reading these words by sight which is brilliant – this will hopefully help with the spelling of them. If your child is confident spelling the word on its own please support them to apply the word in a sentence as this is often when the spelling is incorrect.

Please learn..

Maths

This week in Maths we have been looking at quarters. We have been looking at a quarter of shapes as well as how to find quarter of an amount.

Please support at home using objects. We know that finding a quarter means that we need to share into 4 equal groups. One of these groups is a quarter. You could put this into a number story and use objects to support, for example…

There are 8 squares of chocolate. Four friends share the chocolate bar, they get a quarter each.

How many squares of chocolate does each person get?
