Home Learning during Lockdown
Starting the week beginning 11th January activities will be put on the Seesaw learning platform and produced as a paper pack weekly. You can collect your paper pack from school each week on a Friday - our timeslot for collection is 1.15 - 1.40. Children can then either upload a picture/evidence of their work for teachers to look at and respond to through Seesaw or return work on a Friday when you collect work for the following week.
Happy New Year!
This week's activities:
Literacy: We would like you to write a recount about your Christmas holidays. Can you challenge yourself to use adjectives (describing words)? Can you write longer sentences using my favourite word 'and'? There is a word bank below to help you spell some keywords correctly.
Numeracy: While you are waiting for your home learning packs, you can use the Numbots app and solve the number sentences below using a number line. You can make your own number line from 0-20 and make it as colourful as you like!
7 + 6 = 3 + 9 = 4 + 12 = 17 + 2 = 9 + 11 = 4 + 16 =
Top tip: Remember to start with the largest number first.
Can you make your own tens frame? It needs to look like this:
Using the tens frame can you solve these word problems:
There are 6 boys on the bus. 5 more boys get on.
How many boys are on the bus now?
There are 7 girls in the class. 7 more girls enter.
How many girls are in the class?
There are 10 apples in the bowl. I buy 3 more apples.
How many apples are there now?
There are 9 cars in the box. I add 8 more cars.
How many cars are in the box now?
There are 8 stars in the sky. I spot 10 more.
How many stars are in the sky?
2nd activity
While you are waiting for your pack (which will contain a number line) can you make your own number line to 20 like this?
Use your number line to solve these number sentences:
7 + 6 = 3 + 9 = 4 + 12 = 17 + 2 = 9 + 11 = 4 + 16 =
Top tip: Start with the larger number and add the smaller number.
3rd activity
Draw part whole models like the ones below (don't worry you will have a template from next week!). Use objects to help you find the missing 'whole'. Add together the two parts e.g 4 + 7 = 11 so the missing whole is 11.
Phonics: This week we are looking at the 'oo' sound in words such as:
book, cook, crook, shook, wood
bull, bush, full, pull
could, would, should, couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't
Can you write these words and sort them according to their spelling?
(Phonic videos are pending!)
Year 1
Our topic this term was 'Reach for the Stars'. The children have loved this topic. They were very excited to find out that the alien, Q Pootle 5, landed in our forest school and they did brilliant writing about his adventure.
We did lot of space activities and experiments including fixing the astronaut's broken glove and trying to find out what makes a useful reflective piece of clothing.
We have had a lot of fun in the lead up to Christmas and we hope you enjoy the video performance. You can find this in the Video Resource Centre under the 'Children' tab.
All the Year 1 team wish you a Merry Christmas and we look forward to seeing you after a restful Christmas holiday.
Santa came to school!
The excitement in Seal Class, and the rest of the school, reached very high levels today! We heard bells, we saw a red suit, we went wild with pure happiness!
Seeing Father Christmas was truly magical. I, for one, won't forget the delighted faces or the comments of, "I can't believe that just happened!", or "this is the best day, I don't want it to end!"
I hope your little one came home very happy today; I know I went home with a smile!
