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 the Part Part Whole model - a diagram to help the children see how a number(the whole) can be broken up into two separate groups (the parts). The work this week also introduces the addition sign in a way that shows the children that addition can be done in any order. We will also move on to talk about Number Bonds to 10 and basic addition. We also use a ten frame for this work - the children know what these are - just a grid with 5 squares along the top and 5 along the bottom.

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.

Follow this link to take you to some videos that will help the children with their Maths work this week.

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 MONEYS AND HATS: PROBLEMS box - this will take you to a ten lesson plan - this will see you through two weeks of home learning. Enjoy!! For tjose of you who were seil isolating last week, just continue with this unit as there is enough here for two weeks - those just starting, start at the beginning!

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

There are two phonic games - I will add some more activities to the children’s accounts then they have a few other things to keep them going! Look in the Homework section.

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 - ‘air’ that’s not fair and ‘ure’ sure it’s pure. 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.

Monday - RE we are looking at the Annuication and why Mary is such a special lady to us. We will talk about Our school being named after Mary and think about why Jesus chose Mary. The activity is linked to the Hail Mary prayer, which we have been learning in school. Activity Power Point

Tuesday - we are continuing in the afternoon with our Science topic all about Animals - today we will work in partners to group our animal photos as to whether they are omnivores, carnivores or herbivores. Activity Power Point

Wednesday - focus on the capital cities of the countries that make up the UK and the seas that surround our coast line. We will start today by examining our atlas and locating the capital cities of the countries that make up the UK. We will add these to our map, along with the Seas that surround the UK. Activity Power Point

Thursday - we will be continuing with our sewing topic. Mrs Veasey will start taking the children in small groups to make their sea creature. The rest of us will do a sea creature themed art activity in class. These look fun for our first week!! Have a go and see what you can create!
