Week 14 Home Learning- Year 1
Week 14 Home Learning
Quote of the Week
Good morning everyone,
It feels very surreal (and a bit emotional 😥) writing this week's blog, as it is our last week of Year One. We are sure for many, many of us, it has been a time like no other, but especially for our children. They have been such an amazing year group and we are incredibly sad that our time has been cut short.
However, we have been working closely with our Year 2 team who are very excited about the year ahead with them. As part of the transition, 3 of our team will be moving up with the children. Miss Davis will be moving on with Apricot Class, along with Miss Maguire from Beech and Mr Reeve from Walnut Class.

Along with their new teachers Miss Tynan and Miss Hamilton, we know they will be well looked after and have a fabulous year!
This week, you will be receiving a call from your child's current teacher and also their teacher next year so they can introduce themselves. These calls will most probably come from a withheld/unknown number, so look out for the call.
Thank you to everyone who submitted questions. We loved hearing about what the children wanted to know. Below are the lovely Year 2 teachers answering the questions. You will have to excuse the pace of the video (it is a little fast, you may need to watch it a couple of times). Creating and editing videos is a new skill which still needs perfecting 😂.
As always, below is week 14's timetable. Remember, you can chose to follow it, or dip in and out as it suits you. Each day there will be a maths, literacy, PE, topic and wellness session.
This week we are cotinuing to read the book 'Six Dinner Sid'

If you find the literacy too challenging, please use the literacy plan below:
Please use the sound mat below to support your child with sounding out and spellings:
We have already blogged and sent home 200 common exception words that we would like the children to focus on.
Every week, we will be releasing 6 of these words for you to focus on. Every Friday, we will release the spelling test via video. The words for this week are as follows;
We
- Child
- Find
- Parent
- Whole
- He
- We
Each week we set tasks on Mathletics, which the teachers can log on to and see how the children are getting on. If you need us to resend your Mathletics log in details, please email us at year12@broadford.havering.sch.uk with 'Mathletics' in the subject heading. As well as Mathletics, don't forget to check out Rockstar Maths- https://ttrockstars.com

Some of the science that we are sending out will come from the following website: https://explorify.wellcome.ac.uk/register/your-details?signup_btn=header. To access the links, you will need to sign up. It is completely FREE and will give you access to a range of interesting science resources.
Remember to watch the daily phonics sessions on the Ruth Miskin YouTube channel:
Reading is so important and continuing to read over the summer is one of the best things you can do to ensure your child is ready for next year. Why not sign up for 2020 summer reading challenge...https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/
Other reading resources
Reading to children is still really important. If you are struggling to access books at home Cbeebies have a daily bed time story. Try to watch this with your child and talk about what happened after: Bedtime stories.
Don't forget to check out Mr Maher's reading website. The site is based on animals and has some great photos and facts. There are also some quizzes the children can take part in.
The BBC are releasing 3 lessons each day tailored to children of all ages. There is also a bank of child friendly resources on their website, ranging from activities and worksheets, to video clips and photos. If you would like to check these out, click on the following link: BBC Daily Lessons
Take care,
The Year One Team
