USEFUL TIPS
Read every night- read anything you can! Get an adult to question you about the book too as this will improve your comprehension skills.
Count, count and count some more! Count forwards and backwards to 100 starting from any random number. Do this on your way to school, at home, before bedtime or any time that suits you.
Try getting dressed on your own in the mornings so that you are becoming more independent with tasks.
Complete your homework and hand it in on a Monday morning. This shows me that you really care about your learning.
It is ok to make mistakes..... but we must remember to try and make it better with our fresh start- because every day is a new day!
THEME
As part of our History topic this year we will be studying our family history, including toys.

In Maths, we will be developing our number knowledge- counting forwards and backwards, looking at place value in two-digit numbers and spotting number patterns. We will be building on stategies to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication an division calculations.
Children have logins to Mathletics- they will be set tasks for homework so please ensure children are completing these.
