Year 1 Maths – Wednesday 22nd April

Hello Year 1,

We hope you are enjoying learning how to tell the time and that you are beginning to understand how to read o’clock times. Today, we are setting you a challenge to begin to understand half past times too. As a special treat today, you are going to do your Maths learning with a little boy called Dougie – who is learning to tell the time at home, just like you! Dougie and his parents made a video that you can watch, and practise completing the challenges with a clock (this could be a real clock, toy clock or even the clock that you made in yesterday’s lesson)! 🕑🕦

We hope you enjoy becoming a time expert – just like Dougie! 🙂

Year 1 Home Learning Wednesday 22nd April 2020

For phonics today, can you continue to use Miss Hammond’s videos to practise your flashcards. Practise your spellings and then as a little challenge, can you put these words into a sentence?

By now you will be more familiar with our story this week ‘The Enormous Turnip’. Your Literacy work for today is to interview the farmer who planted the turnip seeds. His day turned out very extraordinary, when he discovered his vegetable had grown so large and he needed all that help to pull it out the ground!

Can you think of questions you would like to ask the Farmer? For example, I would love to know ‘How many bowls of soup did your wife make out of such an enormous turnip?’

We learnt about questions in school a few weeks ago, so don’t forget to finish your question with a question mark and keep practising your neatest cursive handwriting. We would love to see your questions to the farmer on the blog.

Year 1 Guided Reading – Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd April

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:

Year 1 Maths – Tuesday 21st April

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!

Enjoy! ⭐🕑

Year 1 Home Learning Tuesday 21st April 2020

I hope you enjoyed your learning on Monday. I noticed lots of fantastic art creations. Also some great puppet performances of our new story this week.

We are continuing with our ‘The Enormous Turnip’ work this week, with a focus on remembering familiar and repetitive stories.

Can you read it again today  – this time encourage your child to recite as much of it as possible by themselves. Then can you order the story in the correct sequence? You can do this by cutting out and sticking the sequencing pictures attached. Or you make your own by simply drawing a grid on a piece of paper and your child could draw their own lovely pictures in order themselves. You could try to label what is happening in each picture.

Also, look out for an Enormous Turnip themed jigsaw on your PurpleMash 2do.

 

Finally, for phonics today please continue to practise this week’s spellings. Here is a game you could use or copy for fun too.

Keep an eye out for Miss Hammond’s great phonics video’s too. Well done everyone.

School Update- Monday 20th April

Dear Parent/Carer,

I hope you all had a good Easter, despite the strange times we are living in at the moment.

I would love nothing more than to be writing to tell you of a reopening date, but alas, we are again bound by the rules of the Government in an extended lock down.

We are all hopeful that we will at some point return this academic year and really hope that we do, so that our Year 6 children can say their goodbyes, so that our new Reception children can get a taster of next year and of course so all of our other children can meet their new teacher and get to see their new classroom for next year. Fingers crossed…

I am very proud of all of the Newdale teams and how they have responded during this very difficult time. There is so much work going on behind the scenes and everyone is playing their part. The admin team have been battling with all sorts of issues around ordering vouchers and sorting out codes, the Pastoral team making sure all of our families are safe, our teaching team doing all they can to support online learning at home and the teaching assistant team volunteering and doing lots of preparation for this term and beyond.

We have and continue to remain open to the children of key workers. We were open all over Easter including Good Friday and Easter Monday, as we wanted to support the national drive to keep our key workers in work. The volunteers in school have been amazing. Despite anxiety around infection and the difficulties in social distancing with children, they are coming in and offering the best childcare possible in our hub. As ever, if you feel you qualify for provision then please email school or give us a ring (details on the website). If you have concerns about your children at home then we might be able to help with advice or signpost you to support, so please do get in touch.

I am trying really hard to see the positives and am very thankful that the weather has been very kind to us during this time. I am hoping children can get outside in gardens and enjoy their exercise sessions each day: I know I am!

I will update you when we know more, but in the meantime we thank you for your support with home online learning. It really will make a difference to the children when they finally return to us.

Kind regards and stay safe…

Miss Cook

Year 1 Afternoon Project Ideas

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!
