Hello again,

Here is the Guided Reading story and activity ideas for you to have a look at over the next few days. I know many of you are going to love this story because we have really enjoyed learning about firefighters in the past at school. At the end of the story, the children are asked ‘What would you like to be when you grow up?’. I’m sure this will lead to lots of interesting discussions and there is a poster for the children to complete with a drawing and a sentence. We would love it if you could share your wonderful posters with us on the blog. 🙂

Hello Year 1,

I hope you have all had a fun and restful weekend and are ready to get back to lots of fun activities this week. As I mentioned last week, we are going to move onto to our new topic of Measure. This week, we will be focusing on exploring capacity and volume. All the information you need is on the picture or the PDF below.

We have got lots of fun and practical activities coming up this week. To explore capacity, we are going to need a selection of different containers. This could be pots, tubs, bottles, cups, pans, bowls… anything at all that can hold liquid.

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!

Hello everyone,

As you know, our Science topic in the Summer term is all about planting and growing. The Shropshire Wildlife Trust have been posting lots of fun activity ideas and, luckily for us, tomorrow they are hosting a Facebook Live video all about tree identification that you could do as a family!  Bryony has worked with the children and adults at Newdale before, so I am sure it will be a fun and engaging session! Head over to the ‘Shropshire Wildlife Trust’ Facebook page for more information and to find the video! 🙂 🌳🌲

Make sure you share your learning with us on the Blog – we’d love to hear what you get up to! 🙂

Hello Year 1,

Thank you for everyone who shared with me what they had learnt in yesterday’s Maths lesson. It was great to hear all about your super learning. We are going to carry on with the sequence of learning today and practise using subtraction to find one part.

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. Today, we will be focusing on understanding the relationship between addition and subtraction.

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!

Hello everyone,

Here is the Guided Reading activity for you to have a look at over the next few days. As usual, there is a Youtube link to the video being read, however this time I would like you to have a go at reading the story yourself before you listen to it. This story has lots of rhyming words in it – see if you can spot any while you read! 📚📚

Hi everyone,

We hope that you had a lovely weekend of celebrations in the sunshine! So many of you have been trying hard to stay active during this time. In school, we like to have movement breaks to keep our bodies awake while we are doing are learning. Here are some animal movement activities that you may like to use when you feel like your body needs a ‘wake up’.
