12.1.18

Dear Parents/Carers,

Maths

Next week we shall be covering the following areas in maths:

•Creating number fact families using our knowledge of addition/subtraction and also multiplication/division i.e. if I know that 12 + 8 = 20 then I also know that 8+12= 20, 20-12= 8 and 20-8= 12.

•Finding the unknown number in a number calculation e.g. 20 = + 12

Library Days

Please note that there has been some disruption to our library days recently due to issues with the library computer system. For this reason your child may have come home without any books or with books on a day which may not have been their usual library day. We apologise for this but we hope things will be back to normal next week!

Space Topic- More junk modelling required!

The children have been really enjoying our Space topic so far. In order for the children to make their space rockets (which we are in the process of designing), we still need lots more of the following items before we can go ahead and start making them. If you have any then we would be very grateful if you could send them our way:

– Kitchen roll tubes or cardboard tubes

– Bottle lids

– Yoghurt pots

– 1 litre bottles (plastic)

– Tin foil (even if it’s just scraps)

– Actimel yoghurt drink pots or similar

– Pringle tubes

– Foil cake cases- from apple pies, jam tarts etc

Many thanks for your continued support,

Mrs Ashworth, Mrs Ash, Mrs Page
