If your child is self isolating this week, here is their work for the week ahead….
Maths - This week we will continue with our work on addition and subtraction using a number line and the part part whole model to support our learning. We have focused on counting backwards and forwards in our mental maths work for some time now, so this week we will put the subtraction work into practice. We will begin by asking ’how many are left?’, then introduce the subtraction symbol and then look at wrting fact families linked with the part part whole model. The videos will support the children with their learning - but this week we are looking at if we know that 4+2=6 then we also know that 6-4=2 and 6-2=4. We will also explore that addition can be doe in any order, but subtraction CANNOT - we must start with the WHOLE number.
If you could make a part part whole diagram at home to support the children’s learning, that would be great. Just drawn on a piece of paper and buttons will do as counters, or pieces of pasta! The videos will support the children’s learning. If you can print things out, then use the example given here. Part Part Whole Model 0-20 Number Line

For English, I have added an online unit based on listening to a story and writing about it - I have added this site because it has videos of the story and clear instructions as to what to do. Thought it would be straightforward for you all. Please follow the link below and then click on the HONEY AND TROUBLE: CHARACTER box (it is around the middle of the page) - this will take you to a ten lesson plan - this will see you through two weeks of home learning. Enjoy!! This unit has a focus on adjectives and character description. If you were self isolating last week, then just continue on from where you were up to, if just starting this week then start from the beginning!

Please take a look at Education City - password in the front of the children’s reading records - I will ensure that your child has work that they can access on this site.

Also, use homework page on class blog for Phase 3 phonics, handwriting and Oxford Owl site. http://www.ourladyassumption-sch.co.uk/yr1-homework
Phonics Focus for this week - ‘aw’ yawn and dawn and ‘oi’ spoil the boy. BBC Bitesize is super for Phonics support and KS1 activities in general. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/levels/z3g4d2p
Please DO NOT bring in the children’s work to school - but do post pictures into the PORTFOLIO section of Class Dojo.
Try to do three hours of school work - 30 minutes of Phonics and Reading, 45 minutes of English and handwriting practice, 45 minutes of Maths including Mental Maths (we are working on doubling and halving within 10, adding one more or one less to a number under 30 in class) and an hour of Topic based work in the afternoon. Just try your best - that is all I ask - I know it is very hard when you are working at home too.
The handwriting format, the common exception words for Year 1 and the Phase Three phonics chart are on the Homework page of this site. Please see the following page. https://www.ourladyassumption-sch.co.uk/yr1-homework/2020/11/13/autumn-term-expectations
Monday - RE we are looking at how we can prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus - not through writing cards and decorating the tree, but by preparing ourselves for the birth of Christ by getting our hearts ready. This week we will think about how we can shine our lights for Jesus and the things we can do to make ourselves better people. Activity
Tuesday - we are continuing in the afternoon with our Science topic all about Animals - today we will focus on how animals grown and what their young like. We will start by matching the animals picture cards and the name cards, and then select an animal and its young and focus on that for our writing task. Activity 1 Part 2 Activity 2 Power Point
Wednesday - we will continue with our work on the UK - this week focusing on the features of our capital city, London. We will look at the presentation and use the picture cards to make up a poster of London - and then answer the following questions. 1. What are the key features of London? Whereabouts in the UK is London? What evidence is there that London is a busy city? Power point Photos
Thursday - we will be continuing with our sewing this week. . If your child misses out on doing this in class this week, they will get chance to do it when they return, so don’t worry! The rest of us are going to do some paper craft and make some sea creatures out of different coloured paper and fold and cut them to make various cut out shapes. If you have some coloured paper at home, have a go!
Friday - no afternoon activity as we finish school at 1.15pm!
PLEASE POST PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR CHILD’S WORK INTO THE PORTFOLIO SECTION OF CLASS DOJO. Any problems, just let me know through email or Class Dojo. Many thanks and have a great week working at home….Mrs Hollinghurst
