Year 1

Welcome to Year 1

2020-2021

Miss Brogan & Mrs Thickett

Hello Year 1!

Thank you for all your hard work with home learning last week. Thank you also to all your families at home who have been so helpful (and very patient) whilst we tried to work things out with technology, we are very grateful. Please find all home learning for this week on Microsoft Teams. If you do not have your child's individual login for Microsoft Teams, please email me at year1@stpeter.doncaster.sch.uk and I will find this for you. 

I will be hosting a 10 minute 'virtual check in' with all pupils via Microsoft Teams every day at 9.15am, and 1.15pm. Please log into Microsoft Teams and join this meeting, as I would like to keep strong communications with all children and families during this time. 

Love Miss Brogan

3) Happiness activity 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW-zdYN_z90&feature=youtu.be

Please cut out the u_e words and their matching picture into pieces. I wonder whether you could mix them up and match them again? If you do not have a printer, please use blank paper and draw them out yourself.

 Tricky words

Please practise the tricky words below

looked     called       asked  

Can you write them onto small pieces of paper, turn them over (like a card game) and say them to an adult? I wonder whether an adult could hide them in the room so that you have to find them. Then remember, you have to read them by yourself!

I have included some tricky word cards below, but if you do not have a printer you can make some at home that look similar.

 Maths

1) Please watch the video ‘finding a part’. We have done lots of work using part-whole models, so I know you will be able to show an adult at home how we use them.

Please use the part-whole models below if you need them. Don't worry if you don't have counters, use some other objects you have at home e.g. penny coins, pieces of pasta etc.

2) Find a part activity

 History

Today we are continuing our learning about Guy Fawkes. Please complete 

1) Introductory quiz

2) Video – new learning

3) End of lesson quiz

Please use the resources below to help you, and discuss them with an adult at home.

Dear God,

Speak to our hearts and help us to see that we are one big family. Old or young, short or tall, wherever we live, you made us all. Help us to share, however hard it seems, to make our world fair, and live out our dreams. Amen.

 Can you spot the o_e phoneme in this postcard? Use a coloured pencil to colour over the words, or circle them if you prefer. I wonder whether you could read the words you have found?
