Year 1: ‘My Learning Newsletter’

A message from your teachers... Other curriculum focus...

As the difficult times have continued, we are still missing you all each day. Please keep on being good for your Mam’s, Dad’s or whoever you live with. Make sure you keep doing your work whenever possible as it will keep your brain exercised for when we return to school. It is also important to make sure you exercise each day too. If you have a garden, make sure you have a run around to keep yourself fit and healthy. If you don’t have a garden, try and find some time to go on a nice walk or bike ride with somebody from home. Hopefully this lovely weather will stay with us.All of your teachers are still missing you all very much, and we hope to see you very soon!

Keep smiling :-)

PSHE

During this time we have spent lots of time with our families at home. It is very important that we look after each other and show each other love and kindness.

This week, we want you to focus on being kind. Being kind makes people feel better and helps them to smile, even when times are a little tricky. When we are in school we are all excellent at being kind to one another. We do lots of things each day to make each other smile by showing kindness.

Now that things are a little different at the moment, I’m sure you have been using your kindness to help people smile at home. For this piece of work we want you to have a think of something you have done at home which was kind.

Once you have an idea, draw a picture on the worksheet provided. If you finish your picture and it is nice and colourful, write some sentences to describe what is happening in your picture.

English

Read the story of ‘Pippery Skycap a tale of mischief!’ and then complete the activities relating to the story. Remember to listen carefully to the story if it is read to you, if you feel confident you could have a try at reading the story by yourself; that would be fantastic! There is also a phonics activity for you to complete.

Maths

Complete the three challenges on the slides. Remember, to use a range of methods including, mental, the number line/50 number grid, pictorial methods or objects. Continue practising number bonds to 10 as well as counting in 2s. 5s and 10s.https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/ If you log on to this site, you will see videos and activities that the children would have been learning in school this week.
