Please join the live Google Meetings every morning at 9.15am (until 9.30am). We will do the register and go through the three lessons for the day ahead. 

Please join us at 2.45pm (until 3.15pm) for a live session to reflect on the day's learning.

Every day we will set three lessons (assignments) on the Google Classrooms. These will go live at 8.45am. Please take photos of your work and attach these to the assignment. You must submit/turn-in/mark as done when you finish the task. This sends us an alert and we will mark it. Please try to complete the assignments on the same day - just as if you were in school.

Another Lockdown can only mean one thing…….another photography competition! 📸

English

This week we are continuing to looking at the traditional story, 'Jack and the Beanstalk.' We will be writing speech bubbles for the characters and having a go at writing out the whole story.

Some books we have read in Year1 are:

Maths 

In Maths this week we are looking at finding doubles and halves of numbers and at number bonds up to 20.

Foundation 

This week, in Geography, we will be looking at the difference between human and physical features using the Isle of Struay from the Katie Morag stories as a focus.

In Science we are introducing the new topic of Animals and the children will think about and describe their favourite animal.

We will be continuing with Yoga and there will be another Music lesson too.

Reading 

It is incredibly important that the children are reading every day and unfortunately they are currently unable to take home reading books from school. The Oxford Owl website (as mentioned below) is an excellent resource where you can access lots of free colour banded e-books which will match your child's current reading level and will be similar to many of the reading books that they would normally bring home from school. Please do make sure to use this resource.
