Welcome Back Year 1!

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 :)

Happy Half-Term Year 1 😎😎

Hello Year 1,

We have reached the end of another half-term and the Year 1 team couldn’t be prouder of all your tremendous work at home! We love to hear all about what you are getting up to at home and you really have made us smile everyday! 🙂🙂 We think that you all deserve a well-earned break over the next week so we want you to spend as much time as possible having fun and playing games with your families! Like always, it would be absolutely fantastic if you could keep up with your reading and practising your spellings!  Below, you will find a Guided Reading story and some fun, related activities however, these are optional – if you would rather read some of your own story books or continue using Oxford Owl, that is absolutely fine too!

If you are looking for any other activity ideas over the half-term break, please refer back to the Afternoon Projects page. Please remember though, these is no expectation to be completing home schooling over half term – they are there only to support, if you would like some activity ideas! 🙂

Year 1 Spellings

Here are new spellings to practise, following this week’s spelling test.

All children in Y1 have the same spellings this week as they will be practising Summer 1 Jumping Orange words. Jumping Orange words are the words your child should know in line with their year group that were sent out at the beginning of the year. Your child will be tested on these after the half term break on Friday 29th May 2020.

Year 1 Home Learning Friday 21st May 2020

Phonics

Today is spelling test day! We hope you have enjoyed some of the games and Miss Hammond’s videos this week. Good luck in your test and remember to email Mrs Goodwin and Mrs Lee your scores.

New spellings to follow on a separate post to our class page and spelling page.

Friday Literacy

Today we want you to think carefully about staying safe in the sun. When we visit the coast, we often go when it is hot and sunny (much like the lovely weather we have experienced over the last few weeks).

On PurpleMash you will find the following 2do:

Can you design a sun safety poster? As always paper copies welcome.

An extra 2do has been set if you are really keen.

Finally, just for fun attached is some Summer Mindfulness colouring. Relax to some music (perhaps ocean sounds) and colour the lovely pictures.

Have a lovely half term everyone.

Phonics

For phonics today please practise your spellings and flashcards using Miss Hammond’s daily video post. Can you identify the real and nonsense words for this week’s sounds using the Dragon’s Den game? Perhaps you will beat your top score from Picnic on Pluto yesterday.

Thursday LIteracy

This week you have been researching and reading about the seaside and coasts. I am sure everyone would like to visit a coast one day! Can you persuade a friend to visit the seaside?

On PurpleMash you will also find the following 2do:

Create your own leaflet persuading a friend to visit the seaside. Remember you could include many of those lovely adjectives you came up with, using your senses to describe the coast on Monday. If you would rather do a paper version and upload to the blog, then we would love to see that too.
