Welcome back to St Peter's Class 2!

I hope you had a wonderful half term and are refreshed and ready for a fun, busy term ahead.

This term Class 2 will be taught by Mrs Cook and Miss Bates.

Mrs Ellis will be teaching the class every Thursday morning for Forest School.

You will need these things in school every day:

- A named water bottle (please make sure only water is brought to school)
- A named waterproof coat (we go out to play in all weathers!)
- As the weather gets warmer, a named sunhat/ cap.
- A healthy snack such as fruit or carrot sticks for break time (please no crisps, biscuits or chocolate or anything with nuts)

KIRFs - Key Instant Recall Facts

By the end of this half term, children should know the following facts. The aim is for them

to recall these facts instantly.

TOP TIPS

The secret to success is practising little and often. Use time wisely. Can you practise these KIRFs while walking to school or during a car journey? You don’t need to practise them all at once: perhaps you could have a fact of the day. If you would like more ideas, please speak to your child’s teacher.

Use what you already know – Use number bonds to 10 (e.g. 7 + 3 = 10) to work out related number bonds to 20 (e.g. 17 + 3 = 20).

Use practical resources – Make collections of 20 objects. Ask questions such as, “How many more conkers would I need to make 20?”

Play games – You can play number bond pairs online at https://mathszone.co.uk/number-facts/number-bonds-to-20/funky-mummy-ict-games/
