Free School Meals Update

The Department for Education have confirmed that it will not be providing Free School Meal vouchers for the May half term holiday week (25th May – 29th May). This will also be the case for any future school holidays as they are not normally provided during these times.

Vouchers have been ordered for next week and will be delivered from Monday (please note this may be later in the week).

We will inform you of how free school meals will be issued after half term once we have more information from the Department for Education or Local Authority.

Year 1 Maths Activity – Thursday 14th May

Hi Year One,

You have all been working so hard to practise addition and subtraction this week. Today’s focus is on addition and we will be practising counting on to find the answer. We have practised counting on in school, so maybe you can show your grown-ups what we need to do when we count on!  I hope you can all work your hardest today because tomorrow we will move on to have a go at a slightly different, fun activity!

Hi Year 1,

We have come to the end of our lesson sequence on place value and we will begin our new topic of ‘Measure’ next week. We are going to use the remaining four lessons this week to recap on addition and subtraction. The work we did on counting and place value last week will support us with this.

I really am missing having a go at these maths activities with you all, so today…I would like to set you a final challenge to end your lesson. In school, we often ask you to be reflective and think about your learning. I wonder if you could all think of one important thing you learn in your Maths lesson today and post it as a comment on our Year 1 Homework Blog! Just look for this picture and leave a comment below it!

 

I can’t wait to hear all about what you have learnt!
