Hello Year 1!

Our Home learning lessons will look slightly different this half term. We are going to be using the fantastic BBC Bitesize and White Rose resources for our daily lessons as well as continuing our wonderful phonics practise. Please see below for tasks and links.

Here are today’s activities.

Phonics – This week’s spellings are our Jumping orange words. These are our year one National Curriculum words. I sent these out just before the holidays, but here is a fresh copy should you need it.

For today’s activity I  would like you to practise your spellings and then have a go at the Jumping Orange wordsearch attached. This can be copied out or a similar one created if you do not have a printer.

 Literacy – Today’s task can be found on BBC Bitesize and looks at capital letters and full stops. Head over to the BBC website where you will find some activities to complete. There are some helpful videos to watch to support your learning and under the videos you will find some fun activities to put into practise what you have learnt.

I am really looking forward to seeing your work on the homework blog or you can continue to send via our year 1 email if preferred.

 Maths – Today’s Maths activity is a continuation of some of the White Rose work which Miss McCullagh posted at times before the holidays. Head over to the BBC Bitesize website via the same link used for the Literacy above to find today’s task about measuring and mass. Again, there are some wonderful clips and advise for parents to share and then a supporting worksheet is attached below to practise your new skills. The worksheet can be found below (It can be copied or adapted by hand if you do not have access to a printer).

As a little tip, for those of you feeling particularly studious, each day on the BBC Bitesize page alongside the Literacy and Maths, you will also find a daily foundation subject you may like to complete. For example, todays lesson is all about Queen Victoria! This isn’t expected but you may find these additional lessons fun as well as educational.

I look forward to seeing your work,

From Miss Hailey.

Hello Year 1!

We hope you have had a wonderful half term in this glorious weather.

You may be aware that some children in Year 1 are able to return to school on Monday 1st June. However, not all children are able to return at this time. Not to worry if this is the case, as I will continue to post Home Learning activities for Year 1 on the school website so you can continue your amazing work regardless.

Please do keep sending in your work on the blog. We really do love to see your smiley faces and the great things you have been up to. Miss McCullagh is going to busy teaching the children of Y1 that have returned, so if you are one of the children or parents of those still at home, and have any questions, then please contact me via our year 1 email account. It is still the same year 1 address as before but please be aware if you are in Miss McCullagh’s class, it may be myself who responds. You can still also contact me through the PurpleMash 2email accounts.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I look forward to hearing from you all next week.

Miss Hailey :)

Hello Year 2, Miss Hailey here!

Welcome to the second half of the Summer Term. As you may know, some year groups are returning to school on June 1st. However, not all year groups can just yet and so will need to keep up with all the amazing home learning they have been doing whilst schools have been closed.

School will be a little bit different at first as class sizes need to be smaller, which means some children will be working with different teachers for a little while. Because of this change, your lovely Year 2 teachers Miss Jones and Miss Newport are going to be looking after some of my Year 1 class in school for a little while! So in return I am very excited to be taking over Year 2’s Home Learning on the website. I am so happy I get to do this as many of you were in my class last year, or I worked with you at times when you were in the other Y1 class and I get to see how you are getting on now!

I must admit I have been having a look at the wonderful work posted on the Y2 homework blog over the last few weeks and have enjoyed seeing all the fantastic work and activities you have been up to. So when you complete your work, please keep on posting the work to the blog for me to have a look at. (I am sure Miss Jones and Miss Newport will still be keeping an eye when they have chance too.)

As they will be busy teaching in school, you will be able to contact me via your PurpleMash 2email accounts and I will be happy to help, answer your questions or just say hello!

If Y2 parents would like to contact me directly with any questions, they are welcome to use our year 1 email address which is newdale.year1team@taw.org.uk at any time and I will be happy to help.

Enjoy the half term weekend Year 2.

Miss Hailey :)
