**** STOP PRESS ****

Year 1 received their new phonics book today!  It is the one with the star on the corner.  Please read it tonight and bring it back in tomorrow.

Homework 2020 - 2021

Homework in Buzzards Class is set to consolidate class learning and to practise reading and number bond / times table skills.

Spelling Homework  - due Tuesday

Spelling words will be sent home each Wednesday in the Homework Book.  The spelling rules are really important as they will help your child to apply their spelling knowledge to other words.  Please take time to look at these with them as well as learning the words.  They will have at test containing these words on Tuesdays.  Please could they also bring the book back on Tuesday ready for the next spellings.  

Handwriting Homework  - due Tuesday

Handwriting will be sent home each Wednesday in the Homework Book.    

Reading

I am asking the children to read as much as possible at home.  Asking them questions and discussing characters, will be of great benefit.  Your child will have some books (with a gold star in the corner) to consolidate their phonics learning.  These books will only contain sounds they have been taught.  Please read these books the night they are sent home and return them the following day. In addition, to ensure they read widely, they will have books which they will mostly be able to read themselves with help on a few words.  More information regarding this is on the letter dated 7th September 2020 or please see me.

Number Bonds / Times Tables

Maths Homework is learning these facts.  They will help your child in all areas of Maths.  Spending 5 minutes a day on games or using Hit The Button will be of great benefit.  Once a week, on Fridays, we complete a test.  Your child will know what they need to practise (which number bond or times table).   Sometimes we will send home a written piece of maths homework.  This will be in the Homework book when it is sent home on Wednesdays.

Hello everyone

The last pack for the year will be available on Friday for collection.  Below this post is a powerpoint which children can use to help them with handwriting. 

Most Year 2 children were neatly joining their writing in March which will be see them well prepared for Year 3 in September.   

Year 1 children really need to use the 'whoosh up' ready for us to begin joining in September.  Please have a lovely Summer and I will see you all in September.

Hi everyone.  Hope you are all well. Well done for completing your Home Learning and please send me any pictures!  With regards to calling, I find I am generally having the same conversations and they are luckily that everything is ticking along.  I am thinking now that I may cease my 'call around' but please do continue to contact me on an ad hoc basis if there is anything at all you need. I can provide more resources if you need them and support you with explanation if necessary.

The pack will be there on Friday ready for collection.  Whilst it feels late in the term the effort you are all putting in really is still worthwhile.

Take care and best wishes

Mrs Palmer

Friday 22nd May

Hello everyone.

It is likely that I will be back at school after the Half Term, with the Year 1 children, but we will have a better idea by the end of next week.  Please bear with me until then with regards to Home Learning from 1st June onwards.   Year 2 parents, please can you keep an eye out for an email I will send today.  Hope you all have a lovely half term and the sun continues to shine.

Religion and Worldviews

This term Buzzards are learning about what many Jewish people believe about God and Covenant (the promises God made with His people).  Here's what we'll be doing:

By the end of this unit pupils will be able to: 

• recall the key events in the story of The Great Family. 

• recognise the Star of David as a symbol of Judaism. 

• recall basic elements of the Creation story found in The Torah

• raise and suggest answers to relevant questions in response to the story of creation & attempt to support their answers using reasons and/or information. 

• recognise the ‘happy human’ as a symbol of Humanism (showing that the human being and the potential of human activity to shape our world are at the centre of what Humanists believe). 

Pupils will know: 

• that a Jewish name for God is Adonai which means ‘Lord’. 

• that Jews live all over the world, but Israel is considered very special as it was promised to Abraham and his descendants by God. 

• Jews use God’s name with great respect, never carelessly.  

• sometimes Jews write “G-d” because of its sacredness.  

• that Jews believe in one God who created the universe. 

27th April 2020

A really important person in this story is Abraham and his story is found in the Jewish holy book, The Torah. Take a look in the Buzzards' Religion and Worldviews page to find out more!
