Happy VE Day everyone! Isn't it lovely that the sun is also out on such an important day? I do hope you are able to enjoy some celebrations at your home.
Thank you to everyone who has activated their Tapestry accounts already. If you haven't, please do so as all work will be set on Tapestry from now on during home schooling.
We have really enjoyed seeing the work that you have posted to the Observations area. This helps us to plan future lessons based on what you have enjoyed or on the areas that you may need more practice with.

It has been lovely to speak to so many of you this week. We will continue trying to contact you next week if we haven't spoken to you already. It is so nice to hear that you have been working so hard on your home learning.
This week's work has now been moved into the 'Previous Week's Learning' folder so that you can access anything you have not yet had chance to complete. Next week's work will be uploaded to the website shortly today.
We are beginning to make new Tapestry accounts for each of you so that after this week we will be able to set your work on there. This will enable us to have more of a two-way interaction with you about your child's learning. I am sure you are all very familiar with Tapestry from your child's time in EYFS.
Have a lovely weekend and stay safe and well,
Miss Woodliffe and Mrs Stockdale

Today is the last day of the Spring Term and I am sure you are all looking forward to more family time and less schoolwork! I do hope that you have enjoyed the tasks we have set and have found them easy to access.
There will be no new work set for the two week holiday, however there are some fun activities in the leaning away from home section of the website if you would like them.
Week 2's work will now be moved to the 'Previous Week's Learning' section of the website in order that you can revisit any tasks, or to complete any that you have not yet had time to complete.
We do hope that you enjoy the Easter Holidays, we are thinking of you all.
Stay home & keep safe.
Mrs Stockdale & Miss Woodliffe.

We hope that this week has been a good one for you all and that you are beginning to get used to the 'new normal'. It was lovely to see so many people joining in with the clap for the NHS on Thursday night. I hope you saw that too.
Work for week 2 will be uploaded to the website today, and your new Spelling Shed words will go live at 5pm. Every Friday we will move the previous week's work into the Previous Learning folder so that you can easily find your new tasks but can also still access any tasks that you haven't yet completed.
Take care, we are thinking of you all and really miss seeing you every day.
Miss Woodliffe & Mrs Stockdale

It was with heavy hearts that we said goodbye tonight to our wonderful Year 1 classes. We do hope that we will all be together again soon.

Please look after yourselves,
Mrs Stockdale & Miss Woodliffe

We had a lovely World Book Day this week! The children were able to think of fantastic words which they used to decorate their T-shirts. We became a human dictionary! We then used these words to create a class silly story & illustrate it. In the afternoon, we shared our work with Year 4.
Next week in English we will be focussing on two of John Burningham's books: 'Oi! Get off our Train' & 'The Magic Bed'. We will be writing about the messages in the stories, and writing our own versions. In Maths the children will be continuing their work on measures. We will be measuring weight/mass using non-standard measures.
Please may we remind you that, for insurance reasons, children should not use the school trim trails before or after school and that scooters and bicycles should not be ridden on the school playground.
Have a relaxing weekend!

The children have settled back into school well and we cannot believe that we are already more than half way through Year 1!
Our topic this half term is Transport. Our English work next week is cross-curricular with History and focuses on the history of transport, from bicycles to space travel. In Maths we will be learning about measures. We will be measuring the length and height of objects using standard and non-standard measures.
On Thursday it is World Book Day and we will be creating a human dictionary in school. Please ensure that your child has a plain white t-shirt in school for Thursday that can be written on. We will also be using the words that they have chosen to write on their T-shirts to make silly stories in the classroom.
Please ensure any remaining PE bags are in school by Monday as we have PE on Thursday and Friday each week.
Have a restful weekend!
Miss Woodliffe & Mrs Stockdale

The children have worked really hard this half term and are really ready for a relaxing break!
This week we have carried out assessments in English, Phonics and Maths and we are very proud of the progress the children have made.
Our English work for the first week back will focus on the short film: The Windmill Farmer. The children will be developing their prediction skills; talking about how the farmer feels at different points in the story; writing a newspaper report and writing imaginatively.
In Maths we will be continuing our work on number and place value. We will be looking at inequality and more and less than numbers and amounts.
As the weather should bet milder during the next half term, please remember to send outdoor PE kit (joggers, sweatshirt & trainers) as well as indoor kit. PE lessons are on Thursdays and Fridays.
Have a fantastic half term break!
Mrs Stockdale & Miss Woodliffe.

It was great to see so many of you here on Wednesday evening for our Phonics Evening. We hope it has explained the Screening Check in more detail and was useful. For those of you that missed it, we have now uploaded the presentation to the Year 1 page on this website. We will be carrying out our next practice test next week and will send your child's score home to you.
Next week we will be carrying out assessments in reading, writing, maths and phonics.
We will also be continuing with our D&T project in which we will be making a windmill.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Woodliffe & Mrs Stockdale.

The children have really enjoyed learning about Paddington for the past two weeks and they have learned lots of facts about Peru and London this week.
Next week in English we will be linking all of our writing to the traditional tale Jack And The Beanstalk. We will be writing imaginatively; writing instructions for planting magic beans and writing letters to the characters from the story. In Maths we will begin working on place value to 50. This week we will be counting to 50 forwards and backwards, representing the numbers and partitioning the numbers into tens and ones.
In Kaizen we will begin looking at out D&T project - making a handheld windmill. We will be designing the windmill and thinking about everything we will need in order to make it work.
Please ensure your child has a water bottle in school every day.
Have a great weekend!

In English this week the children have learned lots about Paddington Bear. This work will continue into next week, with a Geography theme. We will be learning a little about Peru, about the countries and capital cities of the UK and about London.
In Maths, the children will be continuing their work on addition and subtraction, looking at fact families and inequality symbols.
In Kaizen, the children will continue to paint Paddington's scarf using hot and cold colours and will begin to design their windmills.
Please can we remind you that all children should have a water bottle and their book bag in school every day. Their PE bag should also be in school and will be returned at the end of the half term. Once the weather becomes milder, PE will be held outside when possible. Please therefore also include outdoor PE kit in their bags: joggers/PE leggings, a sweatshirt or hoodie and trainers.
Many thanks,
Have a fantastic weekend!

The children have settled back into school very well this week and seem ready for the half-term ahead.
In English we have been focusing on sentence writing. We have re-looked at using capital letters and full stops as well as using adjectives and adverbs to extend sentences to make them more interesting to read. In Maths we have been looking at adding numbers up to 20 by 'counting on' and have used 10s frames and number lines to help us do this.
Next week in English we will be writing weather poetry, including acrostic poems and poems using the senses. In Maths we will continue to look at addition and subtraction up to 20.
