Palmer
Happy Friday Palmer families!
In literacy this week we have been very busy looking at our story setting and characters personalities. We were thinking about what sort of person Rapunzel and the witch are as well as why other characters are not in this version of the story. As homework this week I would like the children to chat with a member of the family about their first experience of something (Just like Rapunzel leaving her tower for the first time) eg first day at a new job, learning to drive a car etc. I would like the children to write:
who they spoke to,
what the experience was,
how that person felt before the experience,
after the experience,
what they learned from the experience.
In maths this week year 1 have been looking at number lines to 20. We have been drawing and playing lots of human number lines games. Using cereals that are small like hoops, rice crisps, dried lentils, orzo pasta etc draw a number line to 20 use the carbohydrate products to make a physical representation along the lines. Make sure that the 10’s are in one row and the 1’s are in the next to help compound the idea that 10’s are on the left and 1’s on the right. We have been discussing healthy eating in science this week as well.
e.g.
In phonics and spelling:
Year 1 have been writing sentences with ay, ee. For example: may I play? I need sleep!
Year 2 have continued to look at silent ‘k’ in different tenses for example; she knocked on the door, please knock on the door, he is knocking on the door.
I will attach the additional maths and SPAG mats as well as a copy of the spelling bee words.
I hope the weekend is warmer than the week an you get to have some fun outside!
This weekend is Chinese New Year, there are lots of fun free events in and around London, check the web for information about Greenwich on Saturday and China Town Sunday if you are looking for fun free things to do.
新年好 (Xīnnián hǎo) *

Dear Palmer families,
Firstly, please accept my sincerest apologies for the missing attachments last week! I will double check they load this week.
In literacy we have started our new book Rapunzel by Bethan Woolvin. We have discussed other versions of the story dating back to 1634 (prior to the Grimm brothers).
Homework for literacy this week involves long haired relatives (or pets) letting their hair down, literally! Please let the children be hairdresser (no scissors - obviously), create a hair style and then: write a description of the hair, style and what they enjoyed and found difficult.
For example... I brushed my mummy's long brown hair, it was a bit knotty at first. I made three plats and tied them together with a hair band, I found platting difficult but kept trying. I showed my mum the style in the mirror, she looked beautiful. I enjoyed styling my mummy's hair because her hair feels soft and smells like fruit.
I would love to see a drawing of the hair style as well.
In maths:
Year 1 have been working on teen numbers. The spelling for teen numbers is quite tricky, we are practicing and improving. Please play matching games using physical objects (eg small toys) to match with the numeral and the written number. Please draw and write the matching items.
Year 2 have continued working with money. The children use different coins and notes to make a set total eg which coins and notes could be use to make £6.25 – I describe this to the children as £6 and 25 pence. If you go shopping or have a receipt can the children draw or write what notes and or coins they could use to pay for the products?
Year 2 spelling patterns: silent k and silent g.
Kneel, Knew, knight, knot, knuckle, knit, gnat, gnome
Year 1 phonics sound: ‘ea’
tea, eat, neat, real, clean, please, leave, dream, seat, scream
Sincerest apologies this did not load last week!
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a joyous and relaxing break.
This week we have been writing informal letters, thank you letters to those amazing people that thought about what we would enjoy over the festive period. The children now know how to set out an informal letter (address then date top right, Dear X, paragraphs and closing the letter). Many children were a little stumped with their own address when writing to those wonderful people that live with them! This week please could children learn their address - practice writing their address.
In maths year 2 have started to look at money and year 1 are looking at place value within 20. If you are visiting the shops this weekend please let your children help you at the till (or possibly before and after) to check the coins, year 1 children will benefit from this as well but if they would like to practice writing their teen numerals and representing them with things of interest that would be great.
I have attached additional maths sheets if you would like them and some additional topic related ideas as well as purple mash 'ToDos'.
Best wishes,
Ms Fancett

Friday greetings Palmer families,
This week we have spent an increasing amount of time building up to end of term activities. With this in mind I have attached Palmers script for the show on Thursday afternoon, there are a couple of alterations and I am sure there will be more before the day but if children could start to run through their lines at home it will help with their confidence. Please let me know if your child will not be coming on Thursday so that I can make amendments.
We are wrapping up this terms topics this week. The children are making vehicles for DT could they please bring in one plastic bottle or small box (or a different clean empty product container) to make the body of their chosen car, we have made the chassis with the axles and wheels already.
I am looking to add some construction items to our outside area. I am looking for things like good quality; short decking boards (no longer than 1m), small lightweight bricks (like cobbles) that children won't find too heavy or sharp, guttering pipe (again no longer than 1m) as well as smaller items like larger stones/pebbles etc. If you have anything like this that you think may be suitable please let me know.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend, wrap up warm!
Ms Fancett
Happy Friday Palmer,
I have attached some maths and SPAG mats if you would like additional work. Don't forget to keep practicing your common exception words for the 'spelling bee'. As always, I would love to know what you have been up to over the weekend.
In literacy we have been looking at speech bubbles in illustration and speech marks in writing. If children would like to illustrate something that has happened over the weekend with speech bubble that would be great, they could also add a written transcript with speech marks if they like.
In Maths year 2 have continued to look at 3D shape properties. They could; find items around the house, draw them, label then with the geometric name, edges, faces and vertices.
Year 1 consolidated place value. They could: find small world toys grouping into categories, draw the groups, write whether one group is greater, less or equal to the others.
I hope your weekend is wonderful!
Ms Fancett
Dear Palmer Families,
We have had a very busy week and I am sure the children are very tired, I know I am. If your children are raring to do some homework, we have been writing diary entries and looking at 2 and 3D shapes as well as looking at material properties, they are welcome to write a short diary entry about their weekend and draw a picture only using 2D shapes (and labelling the shapes), they could say what materials their creation would be made out of and why. If you are feeling super extravagant feel free to complete the SPAG and general maths sheets attached. As always read with your children every day and practice those spelling bee words!
I hope you all have a lovely, and importantly restful weekend,
Ms Fancett
Dear Palmer parents and carers,
Many children left their homework books in class at the end of the day. Children are welcome to complete some work over the weekend and stick it into their book on Monday.
Homework can be returned to class Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (until Wednesday lunch time - this is when I mark work).
Best wishes,
Ms Fancett
SPAG and Maths mats
Happy Friday Palmer families,
This week in maths we have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes. Maths homework this week, children can go on a 3D shape hunt: draw the objects, write both the name of the objects and the name of the shapes.
e.g.
Drawing of a ball labelled with 'A ball is a sphere', drawing of the fridge labelled with 'a fridge is a cuboid etc.
In literacy we have been writing instructions on how to make a sandwich. Can your children tell you how to make a sandwich? Please allow your children to help with one of your meals (breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon snack, supper - anything that needs an order to do things in) this weekend/ week, can they write the order in which things happened.
e.g. Breakfast:
1. Choose cereal, milk, bowl and spoon.
2. Shake cereal into bowl.
3. Pour milk onto cereal, being careful not to spill any.
4. Use the spoon to eat the cereal.
5. Put away the cereal and milk.
6. Wash up the bowl and spoon.
If you would like additional work, please complete one of the attached sheets.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Best wishes,
Ms Fancett

Maths term 2 week 2
Dear Palmer stakeholders,
Please find attached the homework letter for this term.
You may notice stars on your children's reading record and homework book. When children bring their records into class and homework is returned on Wednesday a sticker is placed on their book.
Literacy:
I love reading the children's sentences about their weekend and general interests. Please encourage them to use their homework diary as just that, an avenue to express whatever they want to say, draw and write.
Maths:
Ask children to collect 10 small items, draw a number line 0-10 to represent the items then make stories using the following story: first there were 'x' things, then 'x' were added/ subtracted, now there are 'x' things.
Don't forget to listen to your child read every day, this is the most important piece of homework. We only get better at things when we practice!
If you would like additional activities, I have attached maths and SPAG sheets.
I hope you have a fabulous weekend.
Best wishes,
Ms Fancett

Hello Palmer Class! I hope you all had a wonderful break and are ready to start the new school term!
Our new termly topic is the Moon Zoom! Whilst you were gone an alien spaceship crash landed in Palmer Class garden! What a mess!
Where do you think it came from?
Who do you think was inside?
Where are they now?
Join me at 11am to listen to a story all about it!
I have attached a weekly timetable to help you remember the routine for the week. Please follow the PowerPoint as this will guide you through your day. If the lesson is highlighted red, the lesson must be completed and sent to me. I can't wait to see all of your amazing work! If the lessons are highlighted amber please make sure you are doing these unless your parents or careers have spoken to the school about why you cannot complete them. Your homework (at the bottom of the daily work) is green which means it is optional although I would love to see all of your creative ideas!
Our zooms times:
Maths: 9:40am
Literacy/ Phonics: 11am
Afternoon topic work: 2pm
Exceptions to this are:
Today and next Monday at 1pm there will be an assembly with Mrs Lovett-Young instead of the 2pm afternoon session.
Wednesdays will be with Mrs Bass at 2pm
Fridays will be with Mr Cunningham at 2pm
All zoom codes have been emailed however please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Please make sure you have started your maths work before the 9:40am maths zoom as this will be your opportunity to work through any questions you may have. Answers for the maths will be uploaded a day later so you are able to mark your work independently.
I look forward to seeing you all soon!
