Hello Starlings,
I hope you are all keeping well and have had a lovely weekend. I had another busy weekend of catch up video calls, films, quizzes and exercise with my family. It is amazing how quickly the weekend goes by even when I can’t get out and about.
Once again, I have attached a new timetable for you to follow this week with new tasks and projects to complete – remember this is only a suggested timetable and activities are always optional! Just do what you can, when you can. Please continue to aim for one activity out of each box below each day. This may not happen every day and that is absolutely fine! Your child's mental health is much more important than a home learning task.

A little bit of maths

A little bit of writing
Remember to use a capital letter, finger spaces, full stop and the conjunction ‘and’. As long as you remember our Year One Non-Negotiables, I don’t mind what you write. |
A little bit of reading

A little bit of topic work

Read Write Inc
I hope you are still enjoying our online Read Write Inc lessons. At this time, if your Starling is confident in the set they are working on and can read every sound from the set in lots of different words both during the lesson and in reading books, they are then ready to move onto the next set. Please do not rush this, we expect children to remain on the same set and need to repeat sounds, this is totally normal.
Note: If you have completed set 3, please continue to revisit these lessons and play games on websites like phonicsplay.co.uk. It is important to keep revisiting sounds to ensure that your child retains the new learning while developing fluency in reading.
On the Oxford Owl website, there are now some Speedy Green Word slideshows available to use at home. These slideshows are a great way to help with children’s fluency. There are eight slideshows covering all Read Write Inc levels available on the link below. Please follow the link and scroll down to ‘Speedy Green Word Slideshows’. Visiting this website may also remind you of some of the other brilliant Read Write Inc resources available to support home learning.
Miss Gillam’s Recommended Daily Jobs
- Spell your name (and other words) using the exciting fitness activity attached. Every letter has an assigned action. Perhaps you could video yourself spelling a word so your friends can guess what you are spelling? This game is great for both spelling and exercise!
- Today’s Maths lesson is all about recognising, reading and writing numbers to 100 on the ‘Oak Academy’ website. Remember to use the number line to help you and to count in 10s and 1s. It is much quicker!
Eg. 10 20 30 40 41 42 43. There are 43.
Today would be a fabulous day to start the ‘Oak Academy’ Writing lessons. As today is a brand new story, it would be a brilliant starting point if you have not yet completed any of these lessons. You can then follow the sequence of lessons with ease. Will you get a rainbow cheer for your super learning today?
Thank you all for your continued hard work and support. If you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Love from Miss Gillam
Message from Mrs Powell
Good morning! This week we are going to think about V.E day. I’m going to tell you little stories that my Granny Peggy told me; she lived in London during the war and my Grandad was an RAF pilot. First of all, I want you to think about a day you will always remember, happy or sad. A birthday, a family event, something you shared with friends. Is there a special food that reminds you of that day? My niece Edith is now 3 and I was lucky enough to visit her in hospital when she was a few hours old. I remember that gorgeous feeling, how hot the hospital was and helping my sister eat the chocolate I had brought for her! What special memory do you have? What reminds you of that? Some memorable days are happy and some are sad. Each of us will have our own experiences and our own reactions to them. There are as many different sorts of memorable days as there are different sorts of people.
