Week beginning Monday 13th July 

To our wonderful Year 1 Class of 2019-20. What can we say? Year 1 is a very important school year when children learn and grow a lot and very quickly. Although year 1 has been very different for you this year, you have still done just that. We at school have noticed how much you have grown- when you popped in to school and in your pictures. We have noticed how hard working and resilient you have become through your home learning. We have noticed that your ICT skills are better than ours! We have noticed your pride and enthusiasm to take part in our learning activities, competitions and cheerful challenges. We have noticed how loving and close your families have been throughout lock down.  We have noticed that our school community can support each other through tough times and be each other’s lights in the darkness.

We have noticed you. Everyone of you. And we know you can achieve great things in the future! Good luck boys and girls. Have a wonderful, well deserved Summer holiday after your final week of home learning which is… SPORTS WEEK! We will see your happy smiling faces again in September when you will be Year 2!

Love from Mrs Newbrook, Miss Atthey, Miss Melia and also Mrs Freeman (who was a big part of your Year 1 too) x 😀

 

ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!

Dear Year 1 and families, I can’t believe I have just typed July!

You keep blowing my socks off with your beautiful work and excellent efforts, Year 1. You are now at more than 67 thousand questions on IXL and I know we will be passing 70 thousand by the end of our school year!

 

This last two weeks are going to be all about sports and well-being and so our topic is called ‘Healthy Me’. Here is some healthy fruit and veg…

Try to  keep going with home learning this next two weeks as its nearly the Summer holidays and you can have a well earned break for 7 whole weeks! I will give you all a call before the end of term.

Monday 4th May 

Hello Year 1. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Today is May the fourth which is also known as Star Wars Day. I know some of the children in our class like Star Wars. Maybe you could dress up or play with a star wars toy today? You could imagine you’re a Jedi and make a light sabre. 

This week in Maths, I would like you to explore and learn about shapes. There are lots of online activities about shape on IXL and Mathletics for you to work through each day but I have also found some fun ideas for you to try at home.

• Do a shape hunt around your house
• Chalk shapes on the ground
• Make a shape collage or picture
• Use pencils, lolly sticks or straws to create different shapes

 

 

I also have a number work activity for you to try each day. There will be 3 questions each day which should take you around 5 minutes.

Here is your first set of  questions.

Literacy: 

As well as your IXL spelling and grammar activities, we have a new topic to study in English.

It is ‘Stories from Other Cultures’. This means we will be reading and hearing stories from different countries where life is very different from life in our country.

Today I would like you to explore the clues in the pictures below. Answer these questions.

What can you see?                                             

Who lives there? 

What do you think the weather is like?                 

Would you like to go there? 

Topic: Science

Continuing with our learning about plants, please try the Lifecycle of a Plant activity on Purple Mash.

Dear Parents,

Reading, Mathletics, IXL, TTRockstars and Purple Mash activities can still be accessed at any time if you want to do these more practical activities another time. Online programmes all have the opportunity for children to work through additional or alternative activities as well as what I set for them. Remember all activities are ideas to help with learning at home but not compulsory. The online learning happening in our class is wonderful and I am so proud of the children. I also know it is a lot of work for families supporting the learning at home.  I hope you are all well and enjoying some time at home with your families in the sunshine if you can. Miss Atthey, Miss Melia and I miss having the children in school and look forward to seeing them again soon. Sending lots of smiles and support at this very challenging time. 

Mrs Newbrook 🙂
