Writing – Year 1  The Queen’s Hat by Steve Antony

First, either from the book or the on line You Tube story of the Queen’s Hat, show the image of the guards going in pursuit of the hat and ask your child to role play the chase.

Then, write for your child: The guards sprinted after the hat. Use this as an example and talk about how sprinted is a verb – an action word.

Finally, ask your child to write 2 or 3 sentences, changing the verb each time for how the guards went after the hat.  They need to write in full sentences with capital letters and full stops with good letter formation.

Writing – Reception  The children should practice writing their name as neatly as possible with good pencil control and good letter formation.

 Phonics – As per the daily schedule from Read Write Inc.

 Reading – Home books and continue with Ditty Sheets (from today)

Yoga – Time for some relaxation.  Follow Cosmic Kids on their adventures.

 Geography – Year 1  Children need to name and locate all 4 capital cities of the United Kingdom. Then discuss where the 4 capital cities are and mark them on the blank map.  Any other known places of interest could be marked on too. Have you been to any of the capital cities; what is similar or different about these locations? Will they have the same weather? How long would it take to get to them on the train or in the car? These last few ideas are just that, ideas, of things you can discuss, to bring relevance and enquiry into their work.

Geography – Reception Can you talk about a sunny location and a cold location and then draw clothing suitable for both climates.  Ask why we need different clothes for different places. Is what they are made of different? What is the best thing for keeping us warm/cool?

UK Map A4

Blank-UK-Map

Just a quick reminder, any work that is done needs to go in to either the blue topic book from school (available in the reception entrance) or in a book from home.  Any additional work you do is great BUT perhaps if that could be done once the set work is complete.

Any queries please just ask.

Panda Class Home Learning Wednesday 6th January

6th January Briefing

Good Morning,

Here is the plan for Wednesday 6th January.

These plans are flexible, in the sense that you can do the tasks whenever suits you, within the day/week.  I appreciate there will be time constraints and work commitments for parents and other siblings at home too.

Joe Wicks is doing his wonderful PE sessions again, on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so we will be tuning in to those in class.

Phonics – Live Lessons.  Start at the beginning of the set and work through a sound per day as per the Read Write Inc schedule.

Maths – White Rose Maths Spring Week 1

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/week-2-number-addition-and-subtraction-within-20/   For Year 1.  As yet they don’t seem to be offering a worksheet so I will create some today and post them on the school website and on DoJo.

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/   For Reception. Starting with Alive in 5! Lesson 1.  For this, White Rose are offering a PDF work sheet for you to download.  Further work here could be counting games – counting backwards and forwards.  Matching numerals to items.  Comparing numbers – ‘I have 5 apples and you have 3 carrots, who has more, who has fewer?’  Writing numbers to 10 would be a great activity too.

Reading – Any reading books from home or school. Magazines, newspapers and any environmental print around the home.  I have added 28 Ditty Sheets from RWI, they are designed for your child to work through, looking at sounds and blending words for reading, then reading the sentences.  They also have ‘red’ words which cannot be sounded out; they just need to be learnt by sight.

https://cdn.oxfordowl.co.uk/2020/03/25/12/12/55/1a5fba52-4af4-4008-9fcf-56517ab25cb7/RWI_OnlineDitties.pdf   Reception & Year 1 Please complete one of these per day

Writing – Reception forming letters carefully.  I would match the schedule of RWI for the order of the letters.  Can you write some words you know?  Your name? Your family names?

Year 1  The Queen’s Hat by Steve Antony, then complete the questions; writing in full sentences with finger spaces, capitals and full stops.  Don’t forget super letter formation; make sure its neat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q8MQPVq_vg

Questions: Who is the Queen?

Where does she live?

What is her home called?

Can you find any other facts out about the Queen?

This half term in art we are having a look at creating patterns. Then we will progress to making patterns out of everyday objects. And finally, the messy part, we will be printing with everyday objects, such as Lego, leaves, toy car wheels and anything else around your home.

This link shows how to get started with some simple pattern making.

Week 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYlPYEQil54

Story books about patterns.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_mqVCewsYA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6twftHYUFU

If there is anything that needs clarification please do ask.  This is very much work in progress and we are finding our feet and seeing what works best for all.  Please can children complete their work in a book, with each activity dated.  We are creating history here, so it’ll be great to have a book of amazing work to be really proud of.

Take care,

Best wishes.

Panda Class Maths and Phonics links

As promised, to get you started, some links to maths and phonics…

Week 1 Maths and Phonics links

White Rose Maths  for Year 1  (Reception there will be more specific work to follow but in the meantime, you could have a go) – this is week 1, of the new Spring Term. Adding & Subtracting to 20.  This might not sound like a very high number but there’s (usually) a series of deeper understanding questions and problems to solve. There are a few short videos so I suggest chunking them during the day.

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/week-2-number-addition-and-subtraction-within-20/

For Phonics this is the link which shows how to say each of the sounds, for teaching phonics effectively.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkXcabDUg7Q

Could work be recorded in a book from home or the 1 collected from school.  Then, as the work progresses, we can celebrate all of their hard work.

Panda Class Learning

Good Morning everyone,

over the next few days I will be publishing lessons and links to on-line learning. I am aiming to carry on with the planned lessons we would be doing in school, but in a different format.

I will draw up a home learning timetable, including Maths, Reading, English and topic based work. I will schedule some zoom sessions too.

From today Read Write Inc are offering live Phonics lessons via YouTube  (when I know more about the content of them I will be able to issue guidance as to which set of letters you could follow). The lessons will be available on-line for 24 hours.

White Rose maths are offering home learning and videos to follow, to support the children’s learning.  Again, I will look through these and try and fill the gaps/offer support when and where needed.

It’s early days in terms of putting all this together, but I will keep you posted on line and on Class Dojo.

I will be putting new exercise books in the school entrance for children to use at home for their work. If you could follow the usual guidance about safe distancing please.

Thank you so much for your support.

Best wishes, stay safe,

Mandy Turner

Important Information – possible school closure

Dear parents and carers,
I do not want to wait until the PM’s announcement at 8pm tonight before giving you an idea of what will be in place IF we are asked to close our schools. The information below is to help you prepare. Please do not act upon it if we remain open!
Children of Critical Workers in School
We have been asked to prioritise which children come into school during lockdown, as the purpose is to have as few in school as possible. Therefore, please let us know by  tomorrow whether you fit into category 1, where you will automatically be allocated a place. Or Category 2, where we will consider numbers and family circumstances and reserve the right not to offer you a place.
If you are applying for a place on the grounds of category 1A. then please attach proof of your occupations with your request email.  A list of category 1A jobs can be found on the DFE https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-maintaining-educational-provision/guidance-for-schools-colleges-and-local-authorities-on-maintaining-educational-provision
Email the admin address as soon as possible so that we have an idea of numbers.
Category 1:
a)Both parents are Critical Workers for Covid response or EU Transition
b)Vulnerable children
c)Children in care
d)Children with an EHCP
Category 2:
One parent a Critical worker and one parent a key worker
One or both parents key workers, but not covid response
Parent in hospital
Even if you fall into the eligibility for a critical worker’s place, you may still prefer to keep your child at home, and if you are able to do that safely, then we advise it.
Home-learning
Your child’s teacher has had VERY limited time to process this new lockdown and prepare, but work will be provided on the school website class page under the section HOMELEARNING. They may also use Dojo to send you copies of worksheets or photographs of the whiteboard. As the week goes on, we will bring in some face to face teaching. From Wednesday, you will be sent a link to a morning Zoom so your child can register with their class and be told what is expected of them during the day. They will also be expected to join Worship via zoom, and as the week goes on, some other lessons or feedback zooms with their teacher.  There will be more information once we know what is going to happen.

Home Learning – Tuesday 5.1.21

Morning Everyone,

First of all, let me wish you a ‘Happy new year.’

I wasn’t sure whether we would be in this situation again, having to resort to online learning, but here we are again…. I’m really sorry that we can’t all be together again in class but we will be able to organise things a little differently this time and hopefully we can all take part in some live lessons.

For today though, I have put together some links to access the activities that were planned for you to complete in class on your first day back.

Activity 1:

Spelling challenge: How many words can you make by using the letters from

‘Happy New Year Everyone’

1 dojo for every 10 words created and there will be 5 dojos for the longest word created. Send me your lists via class dojo

Activity 2:

English: Watch the video below for an animation called ‘Rooted’. You are going to be writing your own version of this, but for today, I would like you to create a storyboard for the events. Can you divide the story into 8 main parts?

Rooted Animation


Take an A4 piece of paper and divide into 8 sections and then draw an image for each part of the story along with a short description. This will help you tomorrow when we are going to write our own version of this animation. You may also want to think about some of the features of writing you are going to use. Think about what tools makes a good story?

Activity 3:

Maths: Today we are learning about the 11 and 12 x tables.

Below are links to the white rose video for today’s task and the corresponding activity sheets

Video lesson

1 Y4-Spring-Block-1-D1-11-and-12-times-table

Activity 4:

Science: What do you know about electricity? Like at the start of every new topic, we find out what you know and what you would like to know by completing a knowledge harvest. I have also included our new vocabulary sheet to test your prior knowledge of key words for this unit.

Electricity – Knowledge Harvest

Key Vocab

Activity 5:

Topic: Our new topic for this term is the Anglo – Saxons. Again, here we will start by conducting a knowledge harvest and raising some key questions that hopefully we will be to answer as we learn.

Anglo Saxons – knowledge Harvest

You may know very little about the Anglo – Saxons at this point of your learning, so to help you generate some questions, below is a video from BBC Bitesize with some basic information.

Who were the Anglo – Saxons?

Merry Christmas

Dear parents and carers,

We have reached the end of a very long term and I wanted to say a big thank you for all your support and encouragement. We have remained healthy and all the extra precautions we put in place have paid off and we thank you and the children for helping us to accomplish this.

I’m sure that most of you will have seen the wonderful Christmas videos made for you by the children on the class pages. A lot of time and effort and FUN has gone into these, so a big thank you to the staff for their hard work too. We really hope you enjoy watching these as much as they enjoyed putting them together for you.

School is a very magical place at Christmas and we are so happy to have been able to enjoy a lovely week adapting what we usually do, but still making lovely Christmas memories with the children.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas,

Mrs Williams
