Here are the activities for anyone having to self-isolate.

Maths

Today in maths, we looked again at addition and how it can be done in any order. Practise using small toys to add two small amounts together (within a total of 10). Can you write the matching number sentence to show what you are adding? What if you start with the second group of toys and do it that way around? What would this number sentence look like? What do you notice?!

Geography

Our focus today in Geography has been sustainability and ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’. Can you have a chat with an adult about what this means? Have a look at the rubbish in your house. What rubbish could go in the recycling box instead of the rubbish bin? What are these items made out of?

Make a poster to inform people how important it is to ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’. Make sure it is eye-catching!

Cooking

Today we have been making mini pizzas on a wrap base. Maybe you would like to do this activity too or help to make a sandwich? Can you chop, slice or grate different items for your pizza or sandwich? Make sure you are very careful and that an adult is watching at all times!

Phonics

We have been learning ‘ay’ as in ‘play’, ‘stay’ and ‘way’. You may enjoy playing ‘Buried Treasure’ on PhonicsPlay: https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/buried-treasure Make sure you choose ‘Phase 5’ and ‘ay’.

Here is a phoneme spotter postcard which you may also enjoy. How many ‘ay’ words can you find? ay phoneme spotter

Have a lovely day!

Here are the activities for today for anyone having to self-isolate.

Maths

In maths today, we looked at subtraction and used pictures to help us solve take away problems. Can you work out the answers to the questions on the sheet? Cross off each item as you take it away. Try and explain to an adult how you are working out your answers as you go. subtraction questions

English

Today we imagined that Mummy Pig is planning a party for her three little pigs because she’s so happy that they are safe and sound! Write a shopping list for Mummy Pig so she can buy lots of fun things for a party to celebrate! Remember to use bullet points in your list and to write one thing at a time.

Art

We have been learning about the British artist, Andy Goldsworthy. He makes sculptures using natural materials. How many natural materials can you name? With an adult, do a safe search for art work by Andy Goldsworthy. What do you notice about the sculptures that he makes? There is an example of his work on this attached sheet and an activity you might like to try too. Andy Goldsworthy art

When you’re out and about at the weekend, keep a look out for some amazing, natural sights!

Phonics

Have a go at saying your sounds using the flashcards: Phase 3 flashcards

We recapped ‘ch’, ‘sh’ and ‘th’ today by playing games. Can you write down three words that have ‘ch’ in them? Can you do the same for ‘sh’ and ‘th’? You may want to try and put these words into a sentence.

Have a super weekend everyone,

Home learning 30.9.21

Here are the activities for anyone having to self-isolate today.

English

Today, we have started looking at lists. We thought about when someone may write a list and what a list looks like. If you were at Forest School yesterday, think about the stick house that you made. Which of the three little pigs made the house out of sticks in the story? What is needed to make a house out of sticks or twigs? Use the writing frame below to write a list of what you used/what the pig would need. Can you see the big black dots that begin each line? These are called bullet points. You need to write each list item next to a bullet point like in the example list.

Music

In music we went for a sound walk around school using the map of the school. We hovered outside different rooms to see what we could hear and then marked them on the map. Go for a sound walk around your house, visiting the different rooms and your garden. Listen really carefully in each place. What can you hear? Are these loud sounds or quiet sounds? Are they nice sounds? Why? Why not?

Math

In maths we have been doing some more addition, using number lines. Watch the video up to 30 seconds to remind yourself how to use a number line to add. number line

Have a go at completing this sheet, thinking carefully about how many jumps you need to do to add on the right amount. What number will you ‘land’ on? Kangaroo addition

RE

In RE, we recapped the 5Ks worn at all times by Sikhs. Can you remember any of these? (bracelet, uncut hair, comb, shorts, dagger)

Then we looked at the Sikh flag and had a go at making our own. The symbol in the middle is very important and is made up of two daggers, a sword and a circle. You could try and find out what these mean to Sikhs by doing some research.

Using paper, a straw/stick and the symbol below, have a go at making your own Nishan Sahib (Sikh flag). It is usually orange or blue and looks like this:

What is the saffron flag (Nishan Sahib) on the Gurdwara?

Hope to see you very soon!

Here are today’s activities for anyone needing to self-isolate.

English

We started this morning by finishing our own versions of ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. Can you remember the animal that you chose for your own story? Draw a picture of this animal and describe it in the style of Michael Rosen. For example:

One _________________________nose!

Two __________________________ eyes!

_____________________________________________

It’s a _______________________________!

Add your own brand new sentence on the blank line.

Have a chat with a grown up about why Michael Rosen used exclamation marks in this part of the story.

Maths

Today we were learning about position and ordinal numbers. Get three of your favourite soft toys and line them up. Who is first in the line? Who is second? Who is third? Do you know what position comes next? See if you can name all the positions for ten soft toys from first to tenth. When we write down the positions, we can either write in words are by using numbers. Have a look at this list with an adult:

First is the same as 1st

Second is the same as 2nd

Third is the same as 3rd

Fourth is the same as 4th

Fifth is the same as 5th

Keep going all the way up to 10th.

Have a look at the sheets attached here. Have a go at one of the sheets. The second one is more tricky if you would like more of a challenge.

Ordering toys

Enjoy recapping ordinal numbers whilst keeping fit with this fun video: Ordinal numbers keep fit

 

RE

We learnt about the 5Ks today and why they are special to Sikh people. Start by watching this short video: The 5Ks

Can you add the 5Ks to the outline of the person below? The illustration below may help you! 5Ks outline

Phonics

Look through the flashcards for Phase 3: Flashcards

Have fun playing Buried Treasure using Phase 4 CCVC words set 1-7.

Hope to see you soon,

PE and Forest School for Year 1

We hope you are all excited about the start of a brand new school year! We are really looking forward to seeing you on Monday.

Just so you are aware, Year 1 children will be doing PE every Tuesday so will need to come to school wearing their PE kits that day. They will be doing Forest School every Wednesday and will need to come to school wearing suitable ‘scruffy’ clothes (nothing too smart!) ready for the session. Can they please bring wellies in a named bag as well  as a waterproof coat and any other waterproof items you wish for them to wear? As the weather gets colder, they may also need to bring hats, gloves and scarves.

Can all children please make sure they bring a named water bottle into school every day?

Happy weekend, everyone, and see you on Monday!

Name change!

Just to make you aware, as a result of my upcoming divorce, in September my name will have changed from Mrs Garcia to Ms Vincent – hence the name change on my emails and on this post! My new class have been told this, but it’s not a problem if anyone forgets as I answer to most things!!

Have a great summer everyone.

No Forest School on Monday 12th July

On Monday, we will be walking to church for an assembly. As a result, we will not be doing Forest School but some fun, outdoor team-building games. Can children come to school with trainers please and bring school shoes to change into after our outdoor session? They will not need Forest School clothes.

Have a super weekend,

05.07.21 Home Learning

This is the home learning for any children self-isolating.

Forest School

Can you think of any teamwork games that you can play with your adult or siblings?

We also did a treasure hunt around the outside of our school to look at how we work well as a team and the importance of listening to everyone’s ideas. Parents/guardians could you please give your child a small treasure hunt around your homes/gardens.

Break

After Forest School we met our new teacher for when you are in Year 2! If you didn’t know already, Mrs Pope is your teacher from September and I am sure she looks forward to meeting you soon! Maybe have a chat with an adult about any questions you may have about starting in Year 2. You may want to write any questions you have for Mrs Pope on a piece of paper and bring it in with you when you return to school.

Science

In science this afternoon we did a little assessment to see what we have learnt over this term about plants. Can you make an information poster full of information about plants? Can you remember the different parts of plants? Can you remember any names of flowers or trees?

We also looked at how the plants outside, that we have been growing, have changed. Can you go around your house and gardens and draw 3-4 plants/flowers and describe what they look like? It could be that you have a sunflower and then you may have written that it is yellow and is 20cm tall.

Have a go at these tasks at home with an adult.

Plants Home Learning

Have a lovely day and see you soon!
