• Our return to school! Hello Year One. It feels like such a long time since we have seen you now, but I am so pleased to be sharing our plans for returning to school on Monday. We have missed you so much and can’t wait to see you! If you are in 1A you will be with me and Mrs Lemarie in Year 3 and 1B are really lucky to have Mr Hakner in Year 2. This video explains a little bit about some changes to expect, and what our day might look like. There will be plenty of opportunities to be outside ...
• This week’s learning Good morning Year 1, how are you all? Can you believe we are onto our 4th learning pack already? You are doing an amazing job learning at home. We know it isn’t always easy so a big well done for all you are doing. I was in school last week and popped into our classroom. The boiler work is finished and although there is still a bit of work to be done, lots of progress has been made. Your new learning pack will be uploaded this morning. This one is a little different and uses lots of content from the ...
• Your new learning pack Good morning Year 1. Your new learning pack will be uploaded this morning. We have organised the pack so you can work through a Literacy, Maths and Foundation task consecutively each day and we hope this makes it easy to navigate. As always please do get in touch on our class email if you need any help or would like to share your learning with us. We check it every day and love to hear from you. Well done for your fantastic work so far and a big thank you to your adults for all your help and support. Stay ...
• Katie in London Our Literacy this week is based on the story ‘Katie in London’ by James Mayhew. Complete activity 1 in your pack using the front cover and blurb to make predictions about the story, and then watch the video. I hope you enjoy it, it’s one of my favourites! Thank you to the author James Mayhew and Orchard Books for giving permission to share this on our class page.
• Resources Good morning, I thought it might be useful to let you know a few resources that will be handy to have ready for your next learning pack. There is no need to buy anything and we have aimed to make the activities accessible using everyday household objects. Our Literacy will be based on the text ‘Katie in London’ by James Mayhew. I will record this story to share with the children on this page. In maths it would be helpful for children to have items to count with – counters, blocks, Lego pieces or anything you find in the cupboard like dry pasta ...

• 15 minute doodles Hi Year 1. I thought I’d share an Art activity that I found online and think you’d enjoy as we have a lot of excellent artists in our class! You will need to go onto YouTube for this so do ask your adult first. The children’s illustrator and author Steve Lenton is sharing 15 minute doodle videos where you can learn to draw with him, from unicorns to astronauts, orangutans to funky footwear! Just type in ‘Steve Lenton’s Doodle Time’ and select your daily doodle. It’s a great little activity for a rainy day. Mrs Lloyd 🙂
• Home learning packs and some virtual tour websites Good morning Year 1. I hope you have had a great week and are getting on well with you learning packs. Thank you for sending us pictures and videos, we love seeing what you are all up to. In today’s video I mention some websites that will take you on virtual tours around London and inside some landmarks. These link perfectly to our topic, so do take a look seeing as we can’t visit in person at the moment! https://360.visitlondon.com https://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit/virtual-museum.html https://www.royal.uk/virtual-tours-buckingham-palace https://360tour.sciencemuseum.org.uk Another website worth a mention is the BBC Bitesize page, which updates daily with lessons, activities and games. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize And of course, keep ...
• Reading at home Good afternoon Year 1. I hope you are all enjoying the activities in your new learning packs. Please remember to send us pictures when you have completed the activities so that we can see what you have been up to. I can’t wait to see some of your boat designs and find out whether they floated or sunk! Just a reminder that while you are at home, it is a perfect time to read lots of different books. Oxford Owl have a whole range of books available to download onto your tablet and they match up with our reading scheme in ...
