Welcome to Class 9!
In Class 9, we are a fabulous group of 28 children and lovely adults.
Our teacher is called Mrs Marsden.
We have Mrs Howard and Mrs Bamford supporting us in lessons.
The children in Class 9 have already shown me what great readers they are. Please could you try and make sure your reading record is in school every day.
Reading regularly at home also means rewards: 3 times a week – you earn a reading ticket which contributes to our whole class reading reward and 1 Golden Ticket. Reading more than 3 times a week will mean that you get 2 Golden Tickets and 2 reading tickets.
Children will need to bring their Little Wandle book back every Friday so that these can be changed.
We also have our wonderful reading spine book to take home. These can be changed on a Friday.
Maths homework will be set on a fortnightly basis. Tasks will be set based on the learning you have been doing with your maths teacher. It will be set on Doodle Learning and your child’s log in is available in their Reading Diary.
Spellings will be given every Friday and tested the following week. Remember to practise them every day please. 🙂 Full marks in the spelling test will mean a Golden Ticket.
Our year group email is: THPYear2@nclt.ac.uk

I love this one – chose the year group and then chose the spellings that you would like to practise.
Hit the Button
Versatile maths game – practice doubles, halves, number bonds and times tables.
Save the Whale
Number bonds to 10 – such a useful set of facts to know. We use them for so many parts of our maths. Practice them with this lovely game.

Good number ordering game.

This is the 100 square that we use in class a lot. Its so useful for understanding 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, 10 less, multiples of 10 and counting in 2s or 5s.
Gaitor More or Less
Struggling with more or less? Here is the Gaitor song to help remember that the alligator’s mouth always opens to the largest number.
