Year 1 Guided Reading 📚

Last week, we set you a guided reading activity based on a story called ‘A Monster Surprise’, and we loved seeing your creative work and hearing that so many of you had enjoyed this story. We would like to share another story with you today. This one is called ‘The Making of Milton’. You can listen to the story being read at this link:

(also included on the PDF of activities below)

We have included here some questions to discuss and some fun activities that you may like to have a go at, at home. Some of these activities may take a little bit more time so please don’t feel like they all must be completed today – you may like to spread them out over the week. We can’t wait to see your creative projects this week! 😃

Year 1 Home Learning Monday 30th March 2020

We hope you had a lovely weekend!

Here are your Phonics and Literacy activities for today.

Attached is a sheet to practise adding the ‘ed’ suffix to the end of a word to make it past tense. You can either print and complete or this is a nice one to simply copy out onto paper. This links to Miss Hailey and Miss McCullagh’s spellings this week. However, this word ending is also an end of Y1 objective so will be perfect for all groups to have a try at.

Activity Sheet Adding -ed

For Literacy, we wanted to have a big focus on handwriting as for many children this has been a target in class. In year 1 we are working hard on our ‘whooshing up’ for our cursive handwriting and beginning to join our letters together. Attached is a powerpoint you may find useful. It shows how to form each letter. Once in slide show mode, click on the letter you want to practise, press on the pencil and he will show you how to form that letter.

Cursive-Letter-Formation-Powerpoint-with-Rhymes

Perhaps you can copy a row of each letter from the alphabet? You also had handwriting sheets in your pack.

It would be lovely if you could pick your very favourite poem, nursery rhyme, song or even story and copy it out in your very best cursive handwriting! We cannot wait to see these either posted on the blog or via the year 1 email account: newdale.year1team@taw.org.uk

Have a lovely day.

Home Learning Year 2 – Maths w/c 30th March

Alongside the activities we have been setting on Purple Mash for maths, we thought it would be a nice idea to try using the White Rose materials. These have been specifically prepared for parents and children while the schools are closed to help continue with studies at home.

Each day you need to watch the video first at:

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/

(We are starting from week 2, as week 1 has already been covered in school).

Monday Lesson 1 – Recognising a third

Tuesday Lesson 2 – Find a third

Wednesday Lesson 3 – Unit fractions

Thursday Lesson 4 – Non-unit fractions

Friday Lesson 5 – Equivalence of a half and two quarters

Answer the questions which are on the worksheets (see links below) – you can print this out or complete in your homework book or on a piece of paper. You can then upload a photo of it to the homework blog for us to see.

Please e-mail us via Purple Mash is you have any problems.

Best wishes,

Miss Newport and Miss Jones

Monday – Recognising a third

Tuesday – Find a third

Wednesday – Unit fractions

Thursday – Non-unit fractions

Friday – Equivalence of half and two quarters

Well done on completing your first week of home learning ⭐

As we are entering Friday afternoon, we just wanted to say a big well done on completing your first week of home learning (to parents and children!). This week, we have all had a totally new experience and everybody has had challenges to overcome, but we are so impressed with the effort and hard work that has gone into home learning. We have loved all the pictures and work that you have sent us  – it really looks like the children are enjoying their learning at home!

We thought it might be nice to send out a little reflection to end the week, so that you can think about 5 important things that you have accomplished or enjoyed in your first week of home learning (this could be for the children – or for the adults). This doesn’t necessarily need to be written down, we just thought it might be a nice activity to talk about – or even just to think about!

You may also know, that on a Friday afternoon in school we choose our Star of the Week. This week, we thought all pupils who have been working hard at home may deserve their special certificate so maybe you can decide together what you are most proud of this week. It could be working hard at PE, creating a lovely drawing or painting, perhaps a piece of writing that you are really proud of or maybe you have been working really hard on your Maths activities this week. Whatever is is, we would love to see your certificates and reasons on the blog or email.

Thank you for all of your hard work,

Year 1 Team ⭐

Y4 Home Learning

The Y4 staff have enjoyed seeing children’s work on the school blog and on Purple Mash.

As it’s almost the weekend, we just wanted to remind you that children are not expected to complete home learning tasks over the weekend (unless they really want to!).

A reminder to those who haven’t been on Purple Mash/the school blog:

If you haven’t been on Purple Mash yet, please try your best to. There are lots of tasks, which have been set, which link to units we’d be covering if we were in school at this time.

Many thanks

Year 1 Home Learning Friday 27th March 2020

Friday’s are usually our spelling test day in Year 1. Can you have a little spelling test of your own on this weeks spellings? Make sure mummy or daddy cover the words and try your best.

Why not keep us updated on your spelling test score? We would love to hear how you got on!

Please email your spelling score to Mrs Goodwin or Mrs Lee as they would love to hear them from you too. You can do this on your PurpleMash 2email accounts. Simply type 2email into the PurpleMash search bar. You will find Mrs Goodwin and Mrs Lee’s email address in the address book.

We sent out a paper copy of next weeks spellings for all groups last week. They will be dated on the top of the sheet. Attached are copies should you need them.

Keep up the great work.

Year 1 spellings Spring Week 11 suffix ed

AL spellings Spr2 Wk5 (ear)

CG spellings Spr2 Wk 5 a-e
