You have been amazing year 1 and I have thoroughly enjoyed being your teacher. Have a fantastic and fun summer, stay safe and I can’t wait to see you all in September.

Hello boys and girls, we have been looking at some of the pictures you have been creating. They are fabulous, so we thought everyone should see them!

Home Tasks

Homework for Year One
Hello year one, I hope you have all enjoyed the Easter holidays and have been able to enjoy some of the lovely sunshine we have had. I am missing you lots and am hoping that we can all be together again soon. Until then, I will be setting you some homework to do each day.
Please use the same rules that we follow in class. Take your time to read the homework carefully. Remember to write or draw your work neatly in your book. Check and edit your work to make sure you haven’t missed anything out or made any mistakes. Remember year one we are all learning together, so have a go and try your best. 
In the homework grid are two activities for you to try to complete each day. Sometimes you will record your work in the book we provided, or on HWB using j2write. Please remember to SAVE your work. 
Also on HWB is a green homework app. I will put activities there linked to the homework grid. 
You have all been given your HWB and My Maths user names and passwords, but if you are having difficulty please e-mail me on         maesycoedprimary82@gmail.com
I would also like you to try to do the ‘Daily Five’ activities if possible. These are reading, maths practise, keep fit, being creative and celebrating something you have done well. 
Ideas for Daily Five
Reading Ideas -any books, magazines or newspapers you may have at home. Reading or listening to e-books online (go to www.oxfordowl.co.uk and register for this free site) Browse the eBooks. 
There are lots of activities and videos on BBC bite size https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/zgkw2hv    
 Listen to, and sing jolly phonic songs. You can find these on You Tube. www.youtube.com 

Maths Ideas – Counting activities, count forwards and backwards to 20/50/100.  You could do this with a partner and ‘rally robin’ like we do in class. Addition and subtraction- use toys, blocks or anything available in your home. Practise telling the time and using money. Play number games- bingo, snakes and ladders. Sing number songs. There are lots of activities, videos on BBC bite size and CBEEBIES.   

Keep Fit Ideas – Daily walk, jog or run, Joe Wicks PE work out, exercises in the garden, skipping, dancing, circuits in house or garden.

Being Creative Ideas – drawing, painting, collage, making junk models, building with Lego or any kind of blocks or sets, singing songs (www.outoftheark.co.uk) or (www.youtube.com) making actions, dancing, acting and performing.

Celebrating – Take some time each day to think about something that you have done well and celebrate it!

Today, the children in foundation phase celebrated a Welsh Culture Day with visiting harpist Bethan Nia. A variety of Welsh songs were sung whilst Bethan played the harp. Afterwards the children had a go themselves on the small harps. They all had a wonderful time.
