Writing.

Listen to the story; We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. 🐻🐻🐻

Can you remember what happened? Use the story map to stick the story in the right order. When you have done that have a go at writing under each part of the story.

Story map.

Spelling.

Watch and listen to the tricky word video.

Can you remember which words were in the video? How many did you write down? How did you get on with your spelling?

Can you put each word into a sentence?

We hope you have a good week. Hopefully we will see each other soon. 🌈❤🌈

 

 

Topic Activity 🧸⚽

The Old Toy Room

We are learning all about toys in Topic. Today we are looking at old toys!

Listen to this story…

The Old Toy Room by Twinkl Originals - book, teaching resources ...

This story is about Lottie meeting lots of different old toys.

Your Activity:

Have a go at answering these questions:

  • Which old toys did you spot?
  • What did everyone do after the ballerinas danced in the theatre?
  • What were your favourite old toys?
  • Do you have any of these old toys at home?

How many old toys can you remember? See how many you can draw and label.

Parents, please see the list below to find what your child should be trying to use in their writing. 

  • Beautiful handwriting – tall (t, h, l, b, d…) short (a, c, s, r…) and hanging (g, y, p…) letters
  • Finger spaces – making sure there is a finger space between each word
  • Capital letters – capital letters for names and at the start of a sentence
  • Phonics sounding – using their phonics knowledge to sound/spell words
  • Full stop – using a full stop at the end of a sentence
  • To make your writing more interesting you can use adjectives.

Don’t forget, we love to see how you are getting on with your home learning! Your grown up can email us at  year1team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk

Government Announcement 10.5.20

As I am sure you will have heard this evening, the Government are putting into place for Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 to return to school after half term. As a school, we do not know anymore than that at this moment in time. Please allow us time to be sent further guidance and we will communicate with you as soon as we know more.

Please note that current arrangements still stand where we are only able to have the children of existing key workers and those with a social worker in school. Again, we will let you know as soon as possible if this position changes.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Home learning

We just wanted to say a huge well done to all our parents. It’s fantastic to see all the activities you are doing at home with the children. Teachers are continuing to set activities for you to try at home in the classroom section of the website.

If you or your child wants to try to do some lessons online, there is a ‘virtual school’ available where you can watch and do lessons with your child.

https://www.thenational.academy/

There are lessons organised into year groups and subjects. Each lesson is about half an hour long with a short quiz before and after the lesson. If you find a lesson too tricky, you can go back to the previous year group lesson to boost your child’s confidence-remember the important thing is that you’re all doing the best you can.

Stay safe.

VE Whole School Project

75th Anniversary of VE Day

We had planned to hold a big celebration for VE Day in school on Friday 8th May but sadly we are no longer able to do that. We would still like to do something special on this day so we are asking families if you would like to join us in some special activities next week and on the actual day.

1. Children are all asked to make their own Union Jack/VE flags to wave on Friday 8th. Please take a photo of your flags and email them into school. Perhaps you could then display them in your windows at home for the local community to see.

2. Families are asked to wear any read/white/blue clothes you have on Friday 8th, take a photo and send it into school.

3. Children are invited to do any research they like around VE day- what is it and why is it important we stop to remember what took place around the world at that time? Work can be anything you like- perhaps a presentation, a picture, a fact sheet, information about an individual solider, write a special VE prayer, learn a wartime song, anything you like! Please can any work be emailed into school by Thursday 7th May by 1pm.

Please feel free to do as little or as much as you like around this but it would be great for as many people as possible to do something!

Please note, that any photos of flags, wearing red/white/blue and children’s work need to be emailed to admin@stgeorgesschool.org.uk. Photos will then be used to make a film which we can then share on our website and Facebook page.

Many thanks!
