Maths

This week in maths we have continued to learn about coins and using money.

We know that you probably don't use much 'real cash' anymore when you are shopping, but it would be great if you could look at some real coins with your child this week. There are some children in Year 2 who think that 3p and 6p coins exist!

 At home you could practise naming the coins. You could also create a shop and have a go at  'buying' a couple of items and adding up the prices to get a total. It would be best if you could use real money to do this but if that is not possible, you could always draw some coins. 

There are also some games you can play on this page to practise recognising, ordering and adding coins...

This week's task...

In Science, we have investigated the creatures that use our school as their habitat. Have a look in your garden and find out what lives there. You could draw what you find or make a tally chart to show which animal you find the most of. Have a talk with an adult about why you think your garden is a good habitat for the creatures you find. If you don’t have your own garden maybe you could look in the park, woods or the Whiteley pond?


We also learnt about how to make food chains by ordering different animals and plants. You could play this game to practise what you have learnt!
