Good morning Year 1! We’re sorry we had to close but we hope you will be able to enjoy some time at home today and most importantly get out and enjoy the snow!
Reading
As you know we LOVE reading at Newdale, here is a video of Miss Harrison reading a story we will be looking at very soon.
What book will you choose to read today? Also, look out for Miss Phonics… Oh sorry! Mrs Thomas’s post with a RWI phonics video just for you!
Geography/Science
We know how important it is to have real life experiences – so please get outside:
take photographs, listen to the sounds around you, or look for animal tracks.

Writing
Our up coming Science topic is all about weather and seasons. Could you write a description of your garden or street in your reading diary? Think about adding adjectives or the conjunction ‘and’. Here’s a great example:
I can see icy roads and footpaths. I can see frosty flakes fall from the sky and settle on tall branches. Bright snow covers everything I can see. It feels icy, cold and wet. I can hear the quiet drips of melting snow. I can hear the crunchy thick snow under my feet.
I know some of you also love handwriting practise so here are some letters we’ve been practising lately.

Maths
We’d love to hear your highest score on Hit the Button https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button for number bonds to 10.
Art
We recently studied Andy Goldsworthy art. He makes temporary sculptures in nature. We think snow is perfect for this. Please send the year 1 email pictures of your snow structures (remember to ask your adult and wrap up in something warm and waterproof)! Here are some ideas… Although we love snow angels and snowmen as well if these don’t work.
We hope you have a fantastic day and look forward to seeing you on Monday,
The Year 1 team.
