It has been great to have everyone back after a nice Easter break and to see the children enjoying all of the new play equipment in the sunshine!

We have been making the most of the lovely weather by being outside as much as possible - even in our maths lessons! 

This week we have been practising making equal groups and arrays to help us find the answer to multiplication word problems.

We went outside onto the playground and practised making these with some of our PE equipment and even used ourselves to prove that 5 x 5 is 25 !

Year 1 has some extra practice and used these skills to work out the answers to more problems and then start to record these .....

.... Year 2 then taught us how to write addition AND multiplication number sentences!

We have also begun work on our new topic - details are still a bit of a secret but the children are already producing some fantastic thoughts and ideas in class so I am sure we will all really enjoy the summer term!
It has been lovely to see the effort some children are putting into their writing this term already and am looking forward to more super English work in the coming weeks, which will be linked to our topic.

This week you have a choice of an English or Maths challenge for your home learning - these are slightly different for Year 1 and Year 2 but are stuck into your home learning books.
Please see me before Thursday if you need more details of these or are not sure what to do.

Have a lovely weekend!
