Focus: Talk Time
This week, our Living and Learning statement is ‘I am aware of risks’.
Talk with your child about risks.
You might want to talk about:
- risks at home, at school and in lots of other places – can your child consider risks in different situations?
- weighing up risks – some risks (like putting your hand up to answer a question) is a safe risk as the worst that can happen is you might get the answer wrong; other risks are more dangerous – can you think of some more examples of safe and unsafe risks?
- risks to physical health (such as smoking), risks to mental health (such as stress) – can your child think about other examples?
- what are the risks when going online or using social media?
- …..or anything else that comes up.

This week’s homework is a practice makes perfect. It’s due on Thursday 25 October.
Year 1
This week, we’ve been practising sorting out muddled up simple sentences. For example:
- sing. like I to → I like to sing.
Year 1 children have mixed up sentences to sort and rewrite correctly. Don’t forget the capital letter and full stops!
Year 2
Year 2s are expected to know how to use an apostrophe to show letters are missing (contractions). For example:
- can not → can’t
- did not → didn’t
Year 2 have words to turn into contractions and then they need to write sentences using these contractions. Don’t forget the apostrophe (and, of course, the capital letter and full stops)!

This week’s homework is creative. It’s due in on Thursday 18 January.
I can find different materials around the house.
Remember, all objects are made of a type of material (wood, glass, pottery, metal). You can show the materials you have found in whichever way you wish: writing a list with pictures, taking photographs and labelling them, drawing a poster or writing a description of what you have found.
For more information and games on materials, have a look at BBC Bitesize.
