Announcement!
To avoid congestion at the beginning and end of the day, the Year 2 children will enter and leave the building through Mrs McGovern's old classroom door, by the outdoor reading area.
Our next Maths topic was Time. The steps the children would be taken in class are;
- O’clock and half past
- Quarter past and quarter to
- Telling time to 5 minutes
- Hours and days
- Finding durations of time
- Compare durations of time
I have attached some activities that can be done at home to support children with their learning.
After our Telling the time topic children would then move onto Measurement: Mass, Capacity and Temperature.
The children would be:
- Comparing mass- using more than, less than, heavier, lighter, equal
- Measure mass in grams
- Measure mass in Kilograms
- Compare volume- using more than, less than, heavier, lighter, equal
- Mililitres
- Litres
- Temperature
This is a really practical unit so children could measuring the mass, capacity and temperature of different objects within the house. Please encourage children to read the scales as this is vital skill for them to develop.
Please also keep on top of the children's timetables- 2x, 5x and 10x. If your child is confident with these move them onto 3 timestable. The children are also new to column addition and subtraction I have attached some works sheets to help carry on their learning.
