Just like before the Easter break, we will set some Guided Reading work for you to have a go at, at home. Sometimes these activities may take a little bit of time, so please don’t feel like you have to rush or complete them all – the most important thing is that you enjoy listening to and sharing some lovely stories at home! We will send out Guided Reading work twice a week, so you will always have a couple of days to listen to the story, talk about it and maybe have a go at some of the questions and activities. 🙂 📚

For today’s activity, you have two dinosaur stories to listen to! The first one is an e-book, which can be listening to on Youtube, or here:

Hello Year 1,

We hope that you all enjoyed starting to tell the time yesterday. Today, your job is to recap on yesterday’s learning then build your very own clock! You can practise making o’clock times with your clock and use it to play a game of What’s the time Mr Wolf? You may also like to print or create your own clock cards to play a game of O’clock Snap!

Keep the clocks that you make so that we can use them again later this week!

O’Clock Snap Cards  (Please Note – you do not need to print all pages, just choose 2 colours that you like!) 🙂

Enjoy! ⭐🕑

Hi everyone,

I hope you have had a lovely first morning back at home school! Lots of you have already sent back some brilliant work on PurpleMash.

As Miss Hailey has already explained, each week will now have a theme and a teacher from Newdale will be setting afternoon work for the whole school, based on that subject. This week is Art week and I know lots of you will be excited to get started on some super art projects.

We have also put together some additional project ideas for Year 1, that you may like to have a go at in the afternoons, alongside the themed work for that week. Remember, these are just ideas – they do not all need to be completed, they are there for you to pick and choose the ones that take your fancy and are feasible for you and your family. In school, our topics in the Summer term would be the ‘Seaside’ and ‘Growing/ Planting’, so we have tried to create some projects based on these areas.

Afternoon Project Ideas Summer 1

We would love to see any of the afternoon projects get up to, on the homework blog. Remember, you can also contact us via the Year 1 email address if you would like to share any work or have any questions for us!

Hi everyone!

We hope you have had a lovely, restful couple of weeks over Easter. We have loved seeing some of the fun, Easter projects that you have been busy completing and we are sure you are eager to get back to your home learning now 🙂

Our focus in Maths this week is going to be telling the time and today we are going to begin by learning o’clock times.

Monday 20th April Maths Activities

Today’s lesson asks you to warm up your maths brain with an active maths challenge. Some of you may have started to have a go at some of these challenges over Easter, so perhaps you could choose 1 or 2 more to have a go at today!

Here is an example of what Activity 3 might look like….we can’t wait to see all of your super work on PurpleMash 🙂

You have all worked so hard in your first two weeks of home schooling. We have been so impressed with the photos and work that you have shared with us this week, so please scroll back to last week’s post to find the star certificates! ⭐I am sure you can all think of something you are really proud of achieving this week – we would love to see your certificates shared on the blog.

We are now beginning the Easter holidays and we know you all deserve a well-earned break so we won’t be setting you daily Maths and Literacy activities. However, please keep up with practising your spellings and aim to read at least three times a week. Don’t forget you can access lots of free e-books using Oxford Owl (instructions are in reading diaries). 📚                       https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/

We know that this break from school is going to be slightly different so we have created a list of fun activities that you can do –  without needing to leave your home! Please also feel free to look back on any of the Literacy and Maths activities (particularly online and PurpleMash games) that you have been set over the past couple of weeks – I am sure the children would enjoy playing some of these games again! Remember, there is no obligation to complete these, we just thought they may be useful to have…and fun for the whole family!

Hi Year 1,

It was really lovely to see that so many of you enjoyed exploring the number bonds to 20 yesterday. Today, you are going to play a couple of games to carry on practising – and hopefully get a little quicker.

Please keep the number cards that you use in today’s activity, as we will need them again tomorrow.

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! 😃
