Miss Jones, Mrs. Rogers and their wonderful class welcome you to 1/2J's class page!
Here you will find: information, photos and videos of some of the exciting things that happen in our class. We look forward to sharing with you all of the interesting things we get up to this year and everything we are learning!
Reading at home each night is essential for your child's learning. We also set weekly homework on Google Classroom to support the learning taking place in class. This work is set on a Monday and is due in the following week.
This half term we have PE on a Wednesday and the children must come to school dressed in their PE kits.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries or questions.
Thank you for your support,
Miss Jones
Friendship
The children worked at home to create something for their friends and they then explained what makes their friend special.

We used are number bonds to ten knowledge to help us find all possibilities. We used Numicon to help us check that we had found the correct solutions.
Representing Numbers to 20
The children worked using Numicon and ten-frames to represent numbers to 20.
Partitioning Numbers Into More Than Two Parts
Today, we worked on partitioning numbers into more than two part. The children used a part whole model to help them and counters. They were able to record the number sentence which showed how they partitioned the whole amount.
Comparing Number Bonds
We compared number bonds using the language of greater than, less than and equal to.
Finding The Difference
The children worked on finding the difference, we used cubes to help us. We were able to record the subtraction number sentence too.
