Year 1 Blog- Friday 24th June 2022

Date: 23rd Jun 2022 @ 9:58am

Welcome to your Friday blog- the last one of June!

English

We started a new series of books about the lighthouse keeper, Mr Grinling, his wife Mrs Grinling and their cat, Hamish. They have all sorts of adventures when looking after the lighthouse. Mr Grinling likes to eat and one day they had a problem with the seagulls eating Mr Grinling's lunch. We invented different ways that Mr Grinling could send the lunch without the seagulls eating it! We had really imaginative ideas! We did some writing about our invention.

Maths

We have been doing lots of challenges this week and trying really hard to apply our knowledge and skills. We have been learning about empty box number sentences and thinking carefully about what we are being asked.

Outdoor Learning

We worked in small groups in our nature area to do some wild weaving. We chose our tree and got busy weaving with wool and natural materials that we found. We were toally engaged with the task and produced some beautiful pieces. Have a look at the photos in the gallery.

Geoography

We learned about the different climates in the world. We identified the hot and cold countries on a map.

R.E.

We listened to and discussed the story of Zacchaeus the Tax Collector and compared it to the story of Levi from last week. We wrote some super sentences describing the similarities and differences!

.

French

We answered a question in French about our favourite animal then we revised ice cream flavours with a game.  We also listened for certain phrases whilst listening to a song about summer.

Music

Tis week we learned about pitch. We sang some songs and played the Boomwhackers.

P.E

We practised our ball skills. We did our Dance From The Heart. We loved having an audience to perform for-thank you if you managed to come along.

We really enjoyed watching the Year 5 children doing their Sports day-we were very encouraging spectators.

P.S.H.E.

We learned about how to take care of other living things. We discussed how to take care of other humans, animals and plants.

Online Saftey Update - Live Streaming

Many of our children access YouTube and TikTok as their primary source of online content. Live streamers are becoming ever more popular with children and young people.

Live streaming is the term used to describe the broadcast of a real time video from a mobile device, tablet or games console. Many live streaming apps have functionality for interactions from viewers, such as commenting, live chats and sending reactions during the broadcast. 

In this guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as online grooming, privacy & security and online reputation. Also, be aware of age ratings on any platforms you allow your children to use.

Home Practice

Read for at least 10 minutes every night. This is so important. We are encouraging the children to organise their own reading books and to make sure they are in their green school bag every day.Please sign the diary so we can change the books. Keep practicing reading the Tricky Words on sight. Please just write a note in the diary if you need the next set.

Sumdog challenges

Phonics - split digraph e_e

Maths - compare and order numbers

Count on and back in 2s, 5s and 10s. Start on different numbers. Talk about whether the numbers are getting bigger or smaller.

Practise quickly recalling number facts, for example 6 is 0+6,1+5,2+4,3+3,4+2,5+1,0+6. practise for other numbers

See if your child can tell the time on an analogue clock. Look at o'clock and hald past.
