Welcome to your Friday blog!
We have really enjoyed reading all the Katie Morag stories. This week we read a story about a wedding on the Isle of Struay. We made some beautiful invitations. We have been carefully checking our writing and looking for ways to make it even better.
Next week we will be learning through the story of The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch.
In Maths we have been practising our 10 more and 10 less learning and looked at adding 1 and subtracting 1 to any 2 digit number. Everyone has really tried hard in their number lessons and never given up when our learning got tricky!
Mrs Quilliam showed us some flowers and we have explored them using magnifying glasses. We had a great time with Mrs Winter in our Music session this week playing our boomwhackers to some Red Riding Hood songs.
We had some special visitors in our Golden Assembly from The Players. We did some acting and some singing! Look out for a flyer and contact the office if your child wants to sign up. The sessions run on Fridays after school.
Home Learning
Continue to read every night. Your children are developing a love of reading and story and they are loving all the new texts we have added to our library.
Books will be changed on a Friday or a Monday. It is important to re-read the books we send home and ask lots of questions about what they remember from previous reads. Re-reading will improve comprehension as well as fluency.
We will extend the Sumdog maths challenges to give everyone a chance to complete them. If you have, look at the maths training and all new challenges will appear on the site.

We will change the reading books on Tuesday. Please make sure all books have been read and diaries signed.
We have also set up some spelling and number challenges on Sumdog. Regular practise of spelling and number facts will prepare the children for any new learning they meet at school. Well done to everyone is including regular skills practise into their daily routines.

Using social media websites is among the most common activity of today's children and adolescents. Any website that allows social interaction is considered a social media site, including social networking sites such as Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat and Twitter; gaming sites and virtual worlds such as Club Penguin, Second Life, and the Sims; video sites such as YouTube; and blogs. Such sites offer today's youth a portal for entertainment and communication and have grown exponentially in recent years. For this reason, it is important that parents become aware of the nature of social media sites, given that not all of them are healthy environments for children and adolescents. - From the American Academy of Pediatrics
Below you will find two guides. One for Snapchat and one for Sadfishing.

In our maths we have been using our number facts to solve problems and written our number sentences in different ways.
In Science we have planted our seeds and taken them home to look after.
Today we had an easter egg hunt and used our maps to help find all our clues.
We'd like to wish you all a happy and peaceful Easter and hope you all have a lovely Easter break.

We have been really enjoying all our learning this week again and we are now used to all being back together keeping the Golden Rules. We have enjoyed our playtimes in the sunnier weather and have been great friends to each other.
Our story this week was The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. We all loved following the story of the seed and all the obstacles it had to ovecome before it could start to grow. We have done some super retelling of the story with Mr Campbell and lots of great writing. We could also use all our Science learning we've been doing with Mrs Quilliam to help us to understand the seed's journey.
In R.E. we have continued our learning through our topic of Change. We talked about being kind to each other.
On Tuesday we had some quiet time as it was a National Day of Reflection. We thought about what we could look forward to.
We all enjoyed our French with Mrs Quilliam and our Music with Mrs Winter.
Mrs Corbett and Mrs Anderson joined Mr Campbell for P.E. this week. There was super skills development in rolling, throwing, running, dribbling and catching.
In our Maths learning we were looking at doubling and halving numbers. We also played games which involved using our number facts and taking turns.

This half term we will be looking at Plants and Growing. Today will be looking at different plants and their features.
You can use the pictures below or find some plants around the house or in the garden to compare. We'd love to see what you found out on Seesaw.

Fabulous Friday!
Wow Year 1, you've made it to the end of another week of great learning! It's now time for another Fabulous Friday!
Fridays are a lighter day with limited screen time to give you and your families the chance to catch up and switch off!
Today you just need to...
Read.Pick a favourite book to read again. Talk about why you like it so much.
Finish off any learning from earlier in the week.
You could perform your own show of Little Red Riding Hood. All the songs are here.
Let's make a cake for grandma song.
What big eyes you've got song.
The big bad wolf has gone song.
Maths
For your number game today, we are playing Make 31.
In the instructions it asks you to place counters on the board but you can easily play by circling or crossing out the numbers. Use drawings or objects to add your numbers together. Good luck.
Have a lovely half term holiday!
