Project Friday🏠 On Sunday it's Father's Day so we are going to do a project all about our family! Some of us don't have fathers, but we can still celebrate all those other important people in our life too. So today I want you to draw your house and draw all the people that live in your house. Can you write some sentences about the people that live in your house? Why are these people important to you? Card We are also going to be making a Father's day card. I have picked an idea of a rocket with the tagline 'I love you to the moon and back', but there are lots of other wonderful ideas on the internet. This card idea also links back to our shape lessons. Question your child about the shapes needed to make the rocket.

Google Meet Tomorrow and Monday we are going to try a 'Google Meet' through Google Classroom which is very exciting! This is so we can all have a chat together on a safe place and your children can finally see their teacher live.  Miss Forrester (Bluebells) will be doing her Google Meet tomorrow around 1ish. She will email out a link to you all that you will click on at the time of the meeting to join you in.  Mrs Warrender (Sunflowers) will be doing the Google Meet on Monday 22nd at 12.

Go to Google Classroom for the Creative task for Wednesday 17th June and Thursday 18th June. See you there! Mrs Warrender and Miss Forrester

Maths - Halving 🍕 This week in maths we are going to be looking at halving. Monday We are going to start our week off with the book 'Give me Half'. This book looks at halving and sharing and brings halving into real life situations. 👉   Give me Half! Explain to your child that half is when a number or an object is split EQUALLY in 2. Get a piece of food (apple, orange, sandwich, chocolate bar etc...) and chop it in half to show them. Chop another piece of food in 2 but don't chop it in equal parts. Is this piece of fruit in half? Is it fair if I get this bit and you get the other? Why? This should show your child that when halving, it is fair. It is EQUAL. Can they have a go at chopping something in half? (great for knife safety skills too!) Tuesday Today we are going to be halving shapes. Can you colour in half of the shape? If your child has found this easy, then let them have a go at drawing the 'half' line.
