GOOD MORNING YEAR 1,

WE ARE WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS BECAUSE WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR THE WEEK AHEAD!

WE CANNOT WAIT FOR OUR DAILY ZOOMS, PHONICS LESSONS AND HAVING A LOOK THROUGH ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK!

Our theme of the week is …

Discuss the meaning of the word resilience with the people you live with.

We will be looking for children to award the Set the Standard Certificate to this week who have shown great resilience with their learning!

Here is the CBBC’s Lockdown Learning schedule for this week:

• The 20 minute Bitesize Daily age 5-7 sessions @ 9:00am will be an additional way of supporting the children’s learning at home – particularly as we continue our Science focus this week!
• We have highlighted two of the Celebrity Supply Teacher sessions on Monday and Tuesday, as Darcey Bussell’s Dance lesson should be great fun and Katie Piper’s lesson will be on wellbeing.
• On Thursday @ 10:15am, Horrible Histories are airing an episode on the Crimean War – which we mentioned briefly whilst we were learning about Mary Seacole and Edith Cavell. This will be a great way to revisit and review the children’s learning.

FAO: Parents & Carers

A reminder of the expectations of Home Learning:

• There will be a daily Zoom registration @ 10:40am, during which a member of the Year 1 Team will greet the children and discuss the activities for the day ahead.
• The expectation is for children to be on the daily Zoom registration and engaging with the set activities on our Year 1 Blog – Phonics, Literacy, Maths and a Curriculum subject.
• Please email children’s work across to their class teacher at: yearone@lingsprimary.org.uk

Here are your activities for the day:

Literacy

• I can write a letter.

Maths

Starter

White Rose: Counting forward and backwards & writing numbers to 20 in numbers and words

You may need 20 counters and 2 x 10 frames.

We understand that counters are not a common object found in most homes, so think about something else that the children could use to represent a counter, e.g. pasta, lego, coins, ect.

Please see template of 2 x 10 frames below.

Watch the video and follow the questions with the White Rose teacher
