Value of the Month- June

Thank you for all your support with the value of the month for May, which was Perseverance. Throughout May, children learnt the importance of not giving up even when faced with a problem and trying their best in all situations.

Our value of the month for June is Honesty.

What is Honesty?

  1. Being truthful to others.
  2. Being truthful to yourself.
  3. Doing what’s right regardless of who’s around.
  4. Being someone others can trust.

Suggestions for parents to work with children at home:

  1. Talk with your children about honesty. Try to answer; ‘What is honesty?’ What is the difference between the truth and a lie? Discuss some examples.
  2. Share the story of the boy who cried wolf. Talk about a time when someone told you something that wasn’t true. How did it make you feel? Do you trust that person to tell you the truth now? Why or why not?
  3. Talk about promises the children have made or promises others have made to them. How serious is a promise? How does it feel when someone breaks a promise?
  4. Who are the most honest people you know? How do you know they are honest? How do you feel about these people?
  5. Talk about a situation where you or they have been worried about telling the truth about something because you thought it would get you into trouble.
  6. Watch a movie, such as The Lion King or Pinocchio, in which honesty and truthfulness are major themes. Encourage your child to talk about ways the main characters demonstrate honesty and dishonesty.

Please let your child’s teacher know if we can celebrate any work from home on the school website.

Baker & sons- School uniform shop

From the 1st June our plan is to re open our retail outlet in Wellington, Telford. To ensure that we are able to operate in a safe and controlled environment we will be implementing the following changes this summer.

The main entrance to the store will be now through our rear entrance located off the parade (next to Midnights nightclub) This will allow us to operate a one way system exiting the shop from the front door onto the high street.

The store will be operating an appointment only system from the 1st June. These slots are available to book online through our website, facebook page, bakerandsonschoolwear.booksy.com or the Booksy app can be downloaded onto your smart phone and search for Baker and Son Schoolwear. No entry will be allowed without a prior booking This system will go live on Friday 29th May once we have confirmation, we can re-open.

Our opening hours during June and July will be Monday- Saturday 9am – 4.30pm. During August will be operating extended opening hours. 8am – 7.30pm.

Only two customers will be allowed instore per booking with a total of 10 customers allowed in store at any one time. If you need to shop for more than one child a separate booking will need to be made.

There is plenty of capacity of appointments for everyone to have throughout June, July and August to purchase your childs uniform. We hope everyone will be sensible and respectful when making a appointment and not to make unnecessary appointments. Bookings will be cancelled from the system if we believe that appointment slots are being misused.

Masks, gloves and hand sanitizer will be at the entrance of the shop, The hand sanitizer must be used before entering the store.

Following government advice, clothing will not be allowed to be tried on in store and changing rooms will be closed. Tape measures will be available instore to use, which will be cleaned and sanitized after every use.

If clothing needs to be exchanged once they’ve been tried on at home, there will be an exchange station at the new entrance using a separate queue. A member of staff will assist you, no appointment is required to exchange items.

If you require a refund, we would ask where possible to return these once schools have started back in September.

For anyone who is confident with sizing and only requires a bigger size we would request if possible to purchase these items using our website www.bakerandsonschoolwear.co.uk

We anticipate we may encounter stock issues from manufactures this summer due to the pandemic. We will work tirelessly to ensure minimum impact to our customers. If there is an item out of stock, we will take your order instore and post to you when it comes back in stock.

Finally we’d like to thank you for your continued support and understanding during this extremely difficult period for everyone.

From myself and all the staff , we look forward to welcoming you back into our shop.

Year 1 Home Learning Tuesday 2nd June 2020

Hello Year 1!

Here are today’s activities.

Phonics – This week’s spellings are our Jumping orange words. Can you practise your beautiful handwriting and put your words into sentences?

 Literacy – Today’s task can be found on BBC Bitesize and looks at writing command sentences. Head over to the BBC website where you will find some activities to complete. There are some helpful videos to watch to support your learning and under the videos you will find some fun activities to put into practise what you have learnt.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/zjpqqp3/year-1-and-p2-lessons/1

I am really looking forward to seeing your work on the homework blog or you can continue to send via our year 1 email if preferred.

 Maths – Today’s Maths activity is a continuation of the White Rose and BBC Bitesize work . Head over to the BBC Bitesize website via the same link used for the Literacy above to find today’s task about Capacity and Volume. Again, there are some wonderful clips and advise for parents to share and then a supporting worksheet is on the website to practise your new skills. We are aware that some of the suggested follow on activities on the BBC website are similar to those that Miss McCullagh has previously set. Therefore here is an alternative for a Mass lesson from White Rose. There is a video (Lesson 2) and supporting worksheets attached if you would prefer.

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/

Tuesday Lesson 2 – Compare mass

And the answers can be found here:

Tuesday Lesson 2 Answers – Compare mass

Afternoon activities – This week’s theme is History.  I know how much you enjoy History lessons in school so it would be great to see what you can do at home. Here are some ideas:

When you complete an activity please upload them to the Year 1 homework blog for us all to see. I know you may feel like there have been so many posts, you wonder whether to still keep uploading them, but I assure you we are loving seeing you and your work at home so please do keep them up.

As a little tip, for those of you feeling particularly studious, each day on the BBC Bitesize page alongside the Literacy and Maths, you will also find a daily foundation subject you may like to complete. This isn’t expected but you may find these additional lessons fun as well as educational.

I look forward to seeing your work,

From Miss Hailey.

Year 1 Home Learning Monday 1st June 2020

Hello Year 1!

Our Home learning lessons will look slightly different this half term. We are going to be using the fantastic BBC Bitesize and White Rose resources for our daily lessons as well as continuing our wonderful phonics practise. Please see below for tasks and links.

Here are today’s activities.

Phonics – This week’s spellings are our Jumping orange words. These are our year one National Curriculum words. I sent these out just before the holidays, but here is a fresh copy should you need it.

Year 1 spellings Summer 2 Week 1 2020 JO Words

For today’s activity I  would like you to practise your spellings and then have a go at the Jumping Orange wordsearch attached. This can be copied out or a similar one created if you do not have a printer.

 Literacy – Today’s task can be found on BBC Bitesize and looks at capital letters and full stops. Head over to the BBC website where you will find some activities to complete. There are some helpful videos to watch to support your learning and under the videos you will find some fun activities to put into practise what you have learnt.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/zjpqqp3/year-1-and-p2-lessons/1

I am really looking forward to seeing your work on the homework blog or you can continue to send via our year 1 email if preferred.

 Maths – Today’s Maths activity is a continuation of some of the White Rose work which Miss McCullagh posted at times before the holidays. Head over to the BBC Bitesize website via the same link used for the Literacy above to find today’s task about measuring and mass. Again, there are some wonderful clips and advise for parents to share and then a supporting worksheet is attached below to practise your new skills. The worksheet can be found below (It can be copied or adapted by hand if you do not have access to a printer).

Monday Lesson 1 – Measure mass

And the answers can be found here:

Monday Lesson 1 Answers – Measure mass

Afternoon activities – This week’s theme is History.  I know how much you enjoy History lessons in school so it would be great to see what you can do at home. Here are some ideas:

When you complete an activity please upload them to the Year 1 homework blog for us all to see. I know you may feel like there have been so many posts, you wonder whether to still keep uploading them, but I assure you we are loving seeing you and your work at home so please do keep them up.

As a little tip, for those of you feeling particularly studious, each day on the BBC Bitesize page alongside the Literacy and Maths, you will also find a daily foundation subject you may like to complete. For example, todays lesson is all about Queen Victoria! This isn’t expected but you may find these additional lessons fun as well as educational.

 

I look forward to seeing your work,

From Miss Hailey.

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 :)
