Literacy-Writing
As we near the end of a very unusual academic year, you or your child might be thinking about Year 1.
Usually at this time of year, to support your child’s transition, we would ask them to write a letter to their Year 1 teacher. This is a great way for your child to tell their teacher about who they are and start their learning journey with their new teacher.
Can your child write a letter and email it to us? We will then give it to their Year 1 teacher.
Your child might like to write;
-What makes them special
-What they like and don’t like to do/eat
-What their favourite book is
-Who is in their family
Remember to
- Think of a sentence
- Say it out loud
- Count the words
- Write each word
- Check it

This week is ‘sports week’ and so we will be suggesting daily sports activities that your child can do at home to keep active. Next week, to follow on from ‘sports week’ we will explore how to live a healthy lifestyle.
‘Personal bests’
Can you do the activities below and improve your ‘personal best’ each day?
Virtual sports day results and skipping challenges
Well done to all children who took part, at home and at school, in the virtual sports day yesterday.
The results are in and can be accessed here.
Here’s our overall school results for each challenge (out of 217 schools).
Netball challenge 56th
Keepie uppie challenge 27th
Rugby challenge 93rd
Speed bounce challenge 46th
Skipping challenges
If you are interested in trying another physical activity challenge, Jodi from Skipping School – a regular visitor to school, is running a daily skipping skill challenge this week. Sadly, Year 2 and Year 4 have missed out on their skipping festivals this year so these videos will help the children to recap the skills they have learnt at school.
Week 13: 08 July 2020: Home learning
Good morning! Are you enjoying your PE challenges this week? Don’t forget to record your ‘personal bests’.
Here are today’s home learning activities.
Phonics
Practise all the phase three phonemes.
Today we’ll practise the phoneme ‘ar’.
Write the ar words.
Let’s play quickwrite!
How to play:
One player points to an ‘ar’ picture.
The other player has to write the word that the picture shows.
(car, jar, scarf, shark, farm, sharp)
You could play this game outside with chalk.
A timer to time how quickly your child writes can make it more exciting too!
Literacy
Listen to the story –We’re Different, We’re the Same.
Can you draw something that you think makes you special?
For example, you could be special because you can jump really high? Or because you are always good at making your friends happy.
Adults you could share what you think makes your child special.
Your child could then draw something that makes someone they love special. They could share this with the person they love.
How does it feel to tell someone why they are special? It makes us feel good to make others feel good.
This is a great activity for not only your child to feel special but to make others around them feel special too.
Extra activity: pass it on smile! We always say how special a smile is. It can be passed on to LOTS of people so quickly. If you smile at someone they will often smile back…they then smile at the next person…and there you have it…a big line of people passing on smiles. Get your child to try in the house or when outside. Not all people will smile back – that’s okay…they might not feel like smiling back… but I’m sure you’re smile was still nice for them to see.
Maths
Listen to the story– The Shopping basket by John Burningham
We’re going to play a memory game.
