Big Maths

Each week we spend approximately an hour working through our mental maths skills, eg rapid recall of bonds and fact families, as well as reviewing some of the less visited areas of Maths - Shape, Area, Factors and Estimation (SAFE). If your child is on SAFE Maths we will have emailed you the sheets via Purple Mash. However, the following links are all excellent at reviewing those skills we all need to become fluent, confident mathematicians.

Subitising skills for Reception, really useful for seeing an amount without counting.

Daily 10 skills for Year 1 and 2 to practice.

Hit the Button has short sharp doubles and bonds practice for Rec to Y2.

Purple Mash also has several quizzes and games allocated too which focus on counting in 2s,5s 10s etc. Don't forget the Maths homework is also set here for your child to complete each week.

Religious Education

What is a Muslim and what do they believe?

What makes a place or an object special to us? And to Muslims?

LO: I can Identify what makes a place special, or holy

Write or use a script focusing on taking pupils to their special place in their imagination – what can they see, touch, smell, hear, taste? How do they feel? Follow this up with artwork to express their sense of place.

Pupils listen to and report back to class on paired talk about their partner’s special place. Also ask about special objects: what is worth lots, but not in money?

• Show and tell others in the school about their special places using the PowerPoint presentation and artwork (attached)
• Ask children to get ready to learn about special places for Muslim people. Talk about ‘Who is a Muslim?’ and answer the children’s questions. Point out that Muslim (or other religious identities) are not about our race or skin colour, but about our beliefs and communities. Tell the children that there are many thousands of Muslim people in our local area. Remind the children of the story they heard about the Prophet Muhammad, the Muslim leader. Remind them that Muslims say ‘Peace be upon him’ when they speak of Muhammad. Teach children that a Muslim holy building is called a mosque – a special place for Muslims. Tell them they will learn more in the next lesson.
• Can pupils suggest why a mosque might be a place to feel close to God? Can they raise relevant questions?
• Watch the following video about a Mosque from the BBC
