Good Afternoon Class 1!

I hope you are all well!

This week for your homework, you will need to log onto Purple Mash (if you struggle to get on, please let me know and I will show you at school and send home your login details again).

I have set you 3 maths games to have a go at; that all link to the work that we have completed this week in school. Also, I have set you a phonics activity.

You might want to show your adult at home the work that we have been doing in our IT lessons to, maybe teach your adults how to code 🙂

As always you have until next Wednesday to submit your work.

Thank you,

Mr Mallison

Good Evening Parents/Carers,

Just a quick reminder that homework books need to be handed in tomorrow morning, just to ensure that I am able to turn around the books (marking and feedback) in order to send them out tomorrow evening.

I have been very impressed with the work that has been handed in thus far. Thank you very much for your support!

Good Evening Parents/Carers,

I just wanted to let you know how well the children are getting on with Coding in their IT lessons. The children are become very established IT experts. You mat wish to ask the children to show you what they can do on PurpleMash.

I have added a 2Do for the children to complete should they wish to show you what they can do.

Edit 18:11 on 26.1.22

Please note the 2Do is not compulsory and is separate to the usual homework. It is optional.

Keep up the amazing work class 1!

Good Morning Class 1!

I hope you are all well?

English

This week we will be approaching our homework slightly differently. Inside your book bag you have a writing activity to complete:

Tips for adults at home:

It may be useful to talk through your child’s ideas first before they get started so that they are not overwhelmed.

Also you may wish to jot down some ideas with your child, a mini-story map; Build-up, event, resolution. e.g:

A child was walking to school one day with a jar of honey and they met a bear.

The bear was clinging onto a lamppost and was very hungry.

The child shared the honey with the bear.

After completing the story map, I would then spend a maximum of 20minutes writing a story.

Maths

In addition to your English homework; I would like you to continue practicing your subtraction skills using the following website, if you simply scan the QR code with a tablet or mobile phone:

Alternatively, you can use the following web link:

As always if you are unsure about your homework, please come and speak to me.

Take care Mr Mallison

Today in Class 1, the Big Bad Wolf has been on trial. First, the children came up with arguments for and against letting him back into the forest. Next, the children weighed up the arguments and had time to discuss their opinions…the children decided to let him back in.

This afternoon in Class 1 the children have investigated different houses. The children explored the houses of significant people, matching them to the houses they live in. They also compared the houses looking at what was similar and what was different.Tomorrow we are going to be drawing our own houses.

Good Morning Class 1.

I hope you are all very well today.

I have posted two pieces of homework onto Seesaw for you to have a go at this week, to be completed by Wednesday 19th January. If you have any questions about your homework, please come and see me.

Lastly, next week I will be popping a piece of written English homework in a homework book for you, I will still post onto the blog to highlight what homework you have as I may not issue a piece of English homework every week.

Thank you,

Mr Mallison

Today in IT the children have been using Purple Mash to learn about coding. They have been actions to objects, in our case that was instructing fish to move using coding blocks.

This morning the children have enjoyed using their acting skills to retell the story of Little Red Riding Hood in English.

Challenge: Can you retell the story to your adult at home?

Welcome back! I hope that you all have had a lovely Christmas break and I would like to wish you all a happy new year.

We have an exciting term ahead with our theme, ‘Best of British’

So far this week the children have shown great interest and have many questions that they would like to find out the answer to. As set out in the newsletter, we will explore Everyday materials in Science as well as child-led discovery of Britain in the last 50 years (homes and toys). Our Art work will be influenced by Hepworth and Moore and the children will be sculpting.

Homework

Homework will officially start next week, however I have a mini-challenge for the children to complete. I would like the children to bring in any photographs, leaflets, postcards etc that are linked to any of the nations of the UK. For example if you have visited Wales and have any photos that we could put on display that would be fantastic.

Additionally, if you have any old toys (both the children, adults and grandparents) that you are able to loan to us, it would really help with the children’s research into toys from the past.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Mr Mallison
