Home Learning Books
The children have been given home learning books today. The children can decorate their home learning books with drawings/photos and (if possible) these should be backed with something durable, sticky back plastic is ideal! I would love the children to use these books as an opportunity to share what we have been learning at school, with their families at home.
Number Formation
I have challenged the children to practise their number formation, on the worksheets I have given out. Please could all home learning in books, be stuck in at home. Thank you!
Spellings
Children have been set spellings with the ay and oy sound. They can practise these on paper this week.
Read, read, read!
The children now have lots of reading materials to grow their brains.
Passwords for Purple Mash and IXL, can be found in the back of your child’s Reading Log.
Home Learning 4.9.20
Baby Photos
Next week in Science, the children will be looking at how they have changed from when they were a baby. I would be so very grateful, if you could email me a photo of your child as a baby/toddler. If you could get these to me by Wednesday that would be wonderful. I really appreciate your help with this! Thank you! e.lane@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk
Spellings
Children have been set spellings with the ai and oi sound on Purple Mash. It would be fantastic if they could practise these words on paper too; I will be asking them to write them down when I test them, on Thursday, in class.
Read, read, read!

Good Morning. Today is your final day of transition activities before Miss Lane takes over once again for your final week of learning as a Year 1.
As promised, here is a little video of me answering a few of your questions about Year 2. Thank you to my little Year 1 bubble for asking the questions so brilliantly!
Here are Friday’s daily activities:
Targets for next year
Below I have attached a hot air balloon template that I would like you to colour in colourfully and neatly so that it can be used on display in your new Year 2 classroom. If you are unable to print the template, feel free to draw your own. On the cloud in the middle, I would like to to write a target that you would like to achieve next year. That might be to improve your handwriting, know your number facts to 20 or to participate more in classroom discussions. It’s your target so make sure that you make it achievable for you! Once complete, take a photograph and send it to me via email. We will then look at these at the end of your time in Year 2 to see what ‘Keep Improving Isabella Insects’ you have been!
What can I do over the summer holidays to get ready for Year 2?
Your final activity of the week is to look at the list below and decide what you still need to work on in order to be ready for Year 2 in September.
Reading
I’m sure you will recognise the word lists attached below. Which set did you get up to? Which words do you still need to practise?
If you can read all of the words, can you spell them?
Usually, during the summer holidays, lots of you complete the library reading challenge. As everything is a little different this year, they are running the challenge online. Click the link below to sign up for the challenge (you will need a grown up’s email address).
To help with your choosing of books, I have attached a list of books that are great for Year 1 children. I know that you are very soon to be Year 2, but I thought it would be nice to see how many you have read already and if you could challenge yourself to read them all before September! Some you have already read in school!
Happy Reading!
Cursive Handwriting
Use the sheet below to ensure that you are forming your cursive letters correctly. If you can form them correctly, have a go at joining them together.
Recognising numbers
Access the number square below. Can you recognise all of the numbers to 100? Can you say how many tens and how many ones for each number? Can you say 1 less or 1 more than a given number? Can you say 10 more or 10 less than a given number?
Can you spell numbers 1 - 20 correctly? Ask an adult to help you.
Extra Activities
Which Year 1 IXL sections do you need to complete before Year 2? Have a look and see if you can complete them all!
Purple Mash - Play challenge 1 of the ‘bond bubbles’ game I have set as a 2DO for you on Purple Mash.
Keep reading for at least 30 minutes a day. Maybe you could send me the name of your favourite book or author!
I have LOVED getting to know you this week Year 1 and I CAN’T WAIT to teach you next year!

Year 1 - Meeting your new teacher - Thursday 9th July
Good morning Year 1! Did you enjoy yesterday’s Playground Pal day? I hope you did!
Here are Thursday’s daily activities:
The School Prayer
Read the school prayer below with an adult.
As you can see, our school prayer is missing a bit of colour and a few illustrations to match the words. Can you make an eye catching poster containing the school prayer? You can print the one out above and decorate it or can write out the prayer yourself using your beautiful handwriting. The most creative will be used on display in your new Year 2 classroom.
Faith-Filled and Hopeful
As we are coming to the end of transition week, I would like you to look ahead and think carefully about your hopes for next year. What do you hope for yourself? What do you hope for the world? Create a poster containing your hope using the Purple Mash template set as a 2DO. We will then be collecting together your hopes to create a lovely, whole school display for when you return to school in September.
Art
Check Mrs Curtis’ blog for this week’s art activity. Have fun being a ‘Creative Kiki Chameleon!’

Year 1 - Meet your new teacher - Wednesday 8th July
We’ve reached the middle of the week Year 1! Are you enjoying your taste of Year 2? Are you feeling like a Year 2 yet?
Here are Wednesday’s daily activities:
Today is Playground Pal day!
“What is a Playground Pal?” I hear you ask! Watch the video below to find out more.
Listen to and enjoy ‘Spinderella’ by Julia Donaldson.
What lessons did Spinderella and her family learn in the story? Are Playground Pals like Spinderella? What do you think?
Imagine that you are Spinderella and you are looking down onto our playground at school. What would you like to see? What would the Playground Pals be doing? What would the children be playing? Draw a picture and label with all of the important features of a happy playtime.
Activity 2
Can you create a new Playground Pal bib? What would it show? Would it have a logo on it to show everyone on the playground what your job was? How would it stand out? Use the template below if you wish.

Year 1 - Meet your new teacher - Tuesday 7th July
Hi Year 1!
I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s activities and are ready for the day ahead.
Here are Tuesday’s daily activities:
School’s Mission Statement - ‘You are precious in my eyes’
As we all know, we are all precious in God’s eyes and are all incredibly unique and special! Today, I would like you all to think about how you are special and precious … what makes you YOU?! Draw a picture of yourself and surround it with all of your talents and the qualities that make you unique. Did God give you the gift of honesty? Did he give you the gift of humour? Do you enjoy singing and dancing? Think really carefully and celebrate how special we all truly are!
Our Year 2 class rules and expectations
When we start school in September, we will be sitting down and creating our class rules and expectations together. Today I would you to think carefully about what our class rules should be and how we can create a happy, calm and loving classroom environment.
Look at the image below and print off if possible.
Have you ever felt like any of the Blobs in the image? Which Blobs are making the right choices? Which are not? Which Blob do you aspire to be like in September? If you could give a colour for each feeling and emotion, what colours would the Blobs be? Would some be red for angry? Would some be blue for sad? Would any be yellow for happy? If you are able to print the image, colour the Blobs in their feeling colours.
Now have a go at writing a list of classroom rules and expectations. What would you like others to see if they came into our classroom?
PE
Check Mrs Gregan’s post for this week’s PE challenge. Have fun!
