We hope you are finding Miss Hammond’s videos helpful, along with the Read, Write, Inc videos we advertised yesterday.

Another fantastic help in this difficult time is provided by the website: https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/

Your child will be familiar with some of their games. They are now providing FREE games.

Year 1 Home Schooling Wednesday 25th March

A massive well done to everyone busy working at home! It has been such a joy to see some of your work on PurpleMash, on the homework blog and even directly to the new Year 1 email address. Please keep them coming :)

Here are some suggested Literacy activities for Wednesday…

A new 2Do has been set on PurpleMash. This links in to work we have been learning in class recently. We have been learning all about suffixes (word endings). A really fun game is available to drag the word that would make most sense in the sentence.

If you would rather a paper alternative, then you could print the attached sheets or use them as a guide to create you own sentences on paper at home.

Suffixes Worksheet

Also keep practising your spellings everyday. Have fun.

Year 1 Phonics and Literacy Tuesday 24th March 2020

Hello,

We hope you have been enjoying the sunshine and getting plenty of fresh air and exercise. It has been great to see some wonderful work on Purple Mash.

A new 2Do has been set for Literacy for Year 1 pupils today. We would like you to interview Paddington Bear! Last week in Literacy, we learnt all about using a question mark when we write a question. We also thought carefully about the words we might use to start a question, such as what, where, when, who, how etc. Can you write some questions for Paddington? If you want to do this on paper at home then this would be fantastic too. What do you think his answers would be? Can you make sure the question mark is the right way round?

For phonics, continue to practise your sounds and spellings. Then you could use the ‘Picnic on Pluto’ game to sound and out read real and nonsense words. We play this lots in school.

Keep your eyes peeled on the website as Miss Hammond is creating her very own videos to practise phonics at home.

Don’t forget to refer to the afternoon activity sheet and also try some of the mindfulness and exercise ideas previously posted.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Year 1 Phonics and Literacy Monday 23rd March 2020

Here are some ideas for phonics and Literacy for your Year 1 child for today.

Phonics

Work through your phonics linked spelling grid provided by school (or found on our spelling page). This is a great opportunity to practise handwriting at the same time. Ruth Miskin’s Read, Write, Inc (the flashcard resources we use in school) are scheduling FREE Read, Write, Inc phonics lessons on Facebook and YouTube for the next two weeks.

Set 1 speed sounds 9.30 and 12.30

Set 2 speed sounds 10.00 and 1.00

Set 3 speed sounds 10.30 and 1.30

Please note, these are streamed live and unavailable at other times.

If you invested in the flashcards, please do practise these daily to help shift them into the long term memory!

Literacy

Last week we learnt about adding adjectives into our sentences to make our writing more exciting! We even learnt how to separate more than one adjective with a comma. For example, Paddington Bear has a big, floppy hat.

Can you draw a fantastic picture of Paddington today? Then could you write some sentences underneath your picture to describe what he is like?

We would love to see your super writing posted on the homework blog, or you could email a picture to us directly.

Year R and Year 1 Information

You may have seen advice that children can communicate with their teacher through the PurpleMash email facilities. We have decided, however that for the youngest children in school it would be more appropriate for parents to email their child’s class teacher directly through our new Year 1 and Year R email addresses. These have been set up so that should you have any questions you can ask us on your child’s behalf, or if you want to share any work this way, that would be great too.

Purplemash can still be used for all the amazing online resources it offers (your child has their login in their reading diaries) and we will be setting 2Do tasks on there too, so do please keep using it.

Here are the new email addresses for communication with Reception and Year 1 staff only:

newdale.year1team@taw.org.uk

newdale.yearrteam@taw.org.uk

Thank you for your ongoing support at home.

Paddington Picnic 🧺🐻

We have been reading the Paddington story in Literacy. What better way to round off our topic than to have our own homemade marmalade Sandwiches 🥪 with our favourite bears!
