I would like to say another big WELL DONE to everyone in Year 1! You have all worked so, so hard again this week and blown our socks off with all of your brilliant efforts at home school. A big thank you to you all (children and grown-ups!) for trying your best to have a go at the home learning activities and for sharing your work with us!

I would like to give a special shout-out to these children… you can read why on their certificates! 🙂🙂

I am already thinking about who could get a certificate next Friday… could it be you? 😎

Have a lovely weekend everyone! 🌞 🥳

Hi Year 1,

Friday is a very special day – it is called VE Day. On VE Day, people will have lots of celebrations and we even get a day off from doing our school work so that we can learn more about this special day! Your Guided Reading task today is slightly different because you have got a non-fiction text all about VE Day to read – this will help you find out a little bit more about it, so that you are ready for Friday!

Once you have read the text and had a go at the questions, you may like to create a VE Day picture. Here is a colouring page you could use:

We hope you learn lots about VE Day today. Keep your eyes peeled later for some fun, celebration ideas you may like to use on Friday! 🙂

Hello everyone,

The first is an online game called Shark Numbers 🦈🦈 you may recognise this from school! The second activity is a place value jigsaw 🧩 which can be downloaded below. 🙂

Hi everyone,

I LOVED seeing all of your creative ways of building numbers yesterday! Today, I have set a bit of a number investigation for you all. It involves building 2 digit numbers but using a slightly different method to the one you were using yesterday! 😎

Hello everyone,

Today’s Guided Reading is a little different as it is all about Peter Rabbit! You can read the first part of the story with a grown-up at home and have a go at answering the questions. Then, there is a link so that you can listen to the whole story being read. After this, there are some lovely, art activities that you may like to have a go at over the next few days – we can’t wait to see what you get up to! 🙂🐰 📚
