Focus: Creative- with a bit of practice
During our work on playscripts, we have looking a lot at verbs: what they are; how to recognise them; how they change when used in different tenses and the spelling rules we need to use to do so.
Your task is to make a poster, leaflet or other form of presentation to show off everything you know about verbs.
Remember to include definitions, examples, tenses, first and third person and anything else you think is important.
A link to more information on verbs can be found here.

This week’s homework is a practice makes perfect and is due on Thursday 15 March.
For the past two weeks, Year 1 and 2 have been learning about fractions:
- Year 1 have learned about 1/2 and 1/4.
- Year 2 have learned about 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 3/4.
These are the definitions we have used for our fractions to help the children understand them. This works for both numbers and shapes.
- 1/2 – one equal part of two
- 1/4 – one equal part of four
- 1/3 – one equal part of three
- 3/4 – three equal parts of four
Have a look in the homework books for your child’s practice makes perfect homework based on our fractions learning this past fortnight.

This week’s homework is a practice makes perfect and is due on Thursday 8th February.
Year 1 are practicing their addition skills up to 10/20. To complete this, they may use counters or objects, their fingers or use any mental methods they know. To encourage their fluency, have a look at Hit the Button – a free game where the children can try and beat their score on number bonds to 20 or addition within 10/20.
Year 2 are practicing their multiplication and division skills. They are learning that if they know 5 x 2 = 10 then they also know the inverse, 10 ÷ 2 = 5. To encourage their fluency, have a look at Hit the Button – a free game where they can practice their multiplication and division skills. Year 2 need to know their 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables.
