This week’s homework is a practice makes perfect and is due on Thursday 15 March.
For the past two weeks, Year 1 and 2 have been learning about fractions:
- Year 1 have learned about 1/2 and 1/4.
- Year 2 have learned about 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 3/4.
These are the definitions we have used for our fractions to help the children understand them. This works for both numbers and shapes.
- 1/2 – one equal part of two
- 1/4 – one equal part of four
- 1/3 – one equal part of three
- 3/4 – three equal parts of four
Have a look in the homework books for your child’s practice makes perfect homework based on our fractions learning this past fortnight.

This week’s homework is a practice makes perfect and is due on Thursday 8th February.
Year 1 are practicing their addition skills up to 10/20. To complete this, they may use counters or objects, their fingers or use any mental methods they know. To encourage their fluency, have a look at Hit the Button – a free game where the children can try and beat their score on number bonds to 20 or addition within 10/20.
Year 2 are practicing their multiplication and division skills. They are learning that if they know 5 x 2 = 10 then they also know the inverse, 10 ÷ 2 = 5. To encourage their fluency, have a look at Hit the Button – a free game where they can practice their multiplication and division skills. Year 2 need to know their 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables.

This week’s homework is a practice makes perfect. It’s due on Thursday 25 October.
Year 1
This week, we’ve been practising sorting out muddled up simple sentences. For example:
- sing. like I to → I like to sing.
Year 1 children have mixed up sentences to sort and rewrite correctly. Don’t forget the capital letter and full stops!
Year 2
Year 2s are expected to know how to use an apostrophe to show letters are missing (contractions). For example:
- can not → can’t
- did not → didn’t
Year 2 have words to turn into contractions and then they need to write sentences using these contractions. Don’t forget the apostrophe (and, of course, the capital letter and full stops)!
