Homework for Year 1 & 2
Hello Year 1 & 2, I hope you have all enjoyed the Easter holidays and have been able to enjoy some of the lovely sunshine we have had. I am missing you lots and are hoping that we can all be together again soon. Until then, I will be setting you some homework to do each day.
Please use the same rules that we follow in class. Take your time to read the homework carefully. Remember to write or draw your work neatly in your book. Always use the think it, say it, write it, read it back rule to make sure you have not missed anything out or made any mistakes. If using the computer, save your work using a sensible name. Always try your best.
In the homework grid are two activities for you to try to complete each day. Most are tasks that you can finish the same day. However, there are a few that could follow on to the next day, or to the next week.

You have all been given your HWB and My Maths user names and passwords, but if you are having difficulty please e-mail us on         maesycoedprimary82@gmail.com
Sometimes you will record your work in the book we provided, or on HWB using either Jit 5. Please remember to save your work.

I would also like you to try to do the ‘Daily Five’ activities if possible. These are reading, maths practise, keep fit, being creative and celebrating something you have done well.

Maths Ideas everyday maths such as telling the time, money, and measures. Possible questions - What time does this tv programme start? How long is it until you go to bed? How much does this cost? What coins / notes can I use? How much is this item plus this item? How much change would I have? What is the total weight of these two tins? How much flour do we need to make this?
