Home Learning 8.01.21

Well done for making it through our first week of home learning! I have really enjoyed seeing all of the photos that you have sent through of work that you have completed at home. Mrs Summerfield has been keeping our merit charts up to date and we will post an update of how each house is doing next week.

Maths

Year 1- Today we will be revisiting numbers to 20.

To begin with have a go at this caterpillar ordering game on Top Marks working with numbers to 20.

I have then added a workbook for you to go through:

Y1-HL-Autumn-Block-4-Place-value-within-20-2020

Reception- Today we are comparing numbers to 5. Here is the White Rose video link– you are looking for session 4. You could also have a go at session 5 if you have time.

English

For today’s English lesson we are going to be focusing on the letter to the Three Bears.

You might like to start the lesson by reading the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I have recorded myself reading the story at the start of our video today if you do not have the book at home.

Before we read the letter to the Three Bears, ask your child Who are the Three Bears? Who might write to them and why?

I have then read the letter in the video above and I have uploaded a copy of the letter for you to look at as well. After we have read the letter talk to your child about the different responses that the bears could give- should Baby Bear forgive Goldilocks? Talk about both sides of the argument and decide whether Baby Bear should forgive her or not.

Children should then write a letter back to Goldilocks from Baby Bear. Year 1 should write in full sentences with a capital letter, finger spaces and full stops. Reception children may only be recording initial sounds which is perfectly normal for this time of the year. If they are struggling have them draw a picture and then scribe their letter to go with it. Children could then put their letter in an envelope and use this address for the front:

Goldilocks

5 Buttercup Lane

The Village

VG5 LS3

 

Phonics

Year 1 -Phase 3- Today we are reviewing the week.

On Wednesday, the whole school enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner thanks to our cooks – Amanda, Ruth and Lydia.

We ate in our bubbles which was different from previous years but we all enjoyed it!

Children in Need

Last Friday, the whole school supported Children in Need by coming to school in clothes which made them feel happy! The theme was all about mental well-being and all classes started the day by joining Joe Wicks as he completed his 24 hour PE challenge. The school was full of happy children who enjoyed the benefit of exercise and learning about the importance of dealing with their feelings.

We were amazed by the total raised at the end of the day- £456. Thank you to all our families for your generosity in supporting this event.

Responsibility

Our value for this half-term is Responsibility.

The Bible teaches that life is a gift from God and it is our responsibility to use our talents and abilities in the best way we can.

RESPONSIBILITY

In school this may be shown as: making good decisions about our own behaviour, taking responsibility for our learning, being independent and caring for others. Responsibility also includes thinking about being a good citizen and caring for our environment.

We have started off by thinking about how we can take responsibility for what we say. A follower of Jesus, called James, wrote to some people who were members of the church. He said that the tongue was like a tiny spark that could spread. We reminded ourselves that it was good to use our words to help, encourage others, and to be kind.

Dear God,
Thank you that we are all special to you.
Thank you that you made us all different.
Please help us to look for the good in those around us.
Please help us to look beyond our circle of friends
to see those who may be on their own, lonely and needing someone to talk to.

Amen

End of the Year!

What a strange year it has been and this time last year, we could never have imagined that with the exception of some, most of you would be learning from home.

We are immensely proud of all of you, our wonderful children, who have done your own learning while being very well supported by your parents. We enjoyed looking at all the work you sent us, the pictures of the new skills learned and your ‘lockdown’ experiences.

As we are now breaking up for the summer, I would like to say a big well done to the children, parents, staff and governors for all their hard work and support over the last year and in particular this last term.

Here are just a few final pictures.

Dear God,

Thank you for our wonderful school.

Thank you for our families and as we look forward to sharing more time together.

Help us to be kind and look after each other.

As this school year draws to a close,

may we have a safe and happy holiday.

Amen
