Year 1

Welcome to Year One!!

Home Learning 

Hello Year 1!

We hope you are all safe and well at home. 

Here are some things you can be doing to keep on learning and growing during this time. 

READ, READ, READ.... Every Single Day!   

Bug Club books are available at www.activelearnprimary.co.uk  with your child's user name and password and the school code t6j3.  Each child's log in is at the front of their red reading record. Any queries or problems logging in please contact the school office. 

Limit Screen time where possible but use the time to talk to your children about their use of technology. Take time to do different activities together, exercise, cook,  play outside, go on walks , bake, paint pictures, play board games, watch movies, do a science experiment together, start a scrap book, read together as a family, snuggle under warm blankets and do nothing. 

We have now set up TTRockstars and Numbots  which are fun, interactive ways to learn and practice times tables, addition and subtraction. Just contact the school office for your log in details.

Most importantly have fun learning and stay safe! 

Kind regards, Mrs Hamer and Miss Fagan. 

Let the battle commence!

Spring 2

Our new IPC topic is...

'What's it made of?' 

This topic involves learning about materials and their properties and becoming scientists to investigate them.  We will be looking at different materials and finding out what properties they have.  Will any materials have the same properties or will they be different? We will be contextualising our learning and making it cross curricular. A great story to read and discuss is The Three Little Pigs - which materials did they choose and why?

We will be making pancakes and talking about why Christians celebrate Shrove Tuesday and we will be thinking about the utensils (objects) we will need to make the pancakes and the materials they are made from. 

We will be finding out where different materials come from and how they can be reused.  We will be talking about recycling and practising this in class.

We would really appreciate it if you could send any recyclables from home into school to help us with this activity.

Some of the key words we will be using this term are: 

Try to use these words at home to discuss daily activities.  Have a look around you and choose objects and talk about what material they are made from and why.

We are also learning how to tell the time this half term so please encourage your child to tell you the times 'o'clock and half past at home.  You can talk about routines and times you do things.  For example, bedtime, dinnertime 'chill out' time, school time etc...

Autumn 2

Our new IPC topic is 'Treasure Island'.  Have a look at the class galleries to see us dressed as pirates...

This topic involves learning about the United Kingdom, maps and compasses.  We will be looking at some other countries around the world and talking about whether they are hot or cold and why.  Again we will be contextualising our learning and making it cross curricular. 

We will also be learning about different fruits and vegetables and how they can be part of a healthy diet.

Some of the key words we will be using this term are:

Try to use these words at home to discuss daily activities.

Autumn 1

We learnt all about 'The Earth: Our Home'.  It was a science based topic that we contextualised into all areas of the curriculum.  We also learnt about ourselves and our five senses.  We learnt about living things around us - particularly different groups of animals.

Some of the key words we used in class and you can use at home are:

Why not ask parents and carers to give you a spelling test on these words?  Remember to show them the overview you were given.
