Welcome to your Friday blog. Everyone came in on Monday full of smiles to start the final half term of learning in Year 1.
We started a new story, The Enormous Crocodile. We have read the first part of the story and will be continuing it next week. We have retold the story so far as a class by recording our voices. We have also written a letter to the crocodile asking him not to eat children! We have also been painting pictures from the story and we made our own enormous crocodile with a moving jaw.
In Maths we have been finding halves of shapes and amounts. We have used counters and other equipment to support our understanding.
In P.E. we had a go at some of the races we will be taking part in at our Sports Day on Tuesday 22nd June. We had great fun!
In R.E. we had another story about Zacchaeus the Tax Collector. We talked about making the right choices.
Please keep reading every night.
We have seen huge progress in all your reading. This is down to all your regular home reading throughout the year.
We have set a couple of challenges on Sumdog. Continue to have a go at these. We have seen a drop in participation lately with the good weather but 10 minutes a night will make a huge difference to maths and spelling fluency.
Maths - x2 and Halving Challenges
Spelling - 2 syllable words
Have a great weekend in the sun!

Keeping our children safe in the online space is of ever growing importance. From phones to consoles, our children are exposed to more online risk than ever and it is important that we adults keep up to date to ensure our children are prepared for all they meet online. Here is an interesting article on Internet Security professionals teach their children about internet safety.
How do I keep my children safe online? What the security experts tell their kids
Below we have attached two guides on how to set up your child's phone for privacy. We teach the children not to share their information when online, however social platforms and games will take data from users unknowingly.
"If its free, you're paying with your information."

Welcome to your last blog of this half term!
We had some new arrivals outside our classroom this week. A nest of chicks has been tweeting and listening to all our fantastic learning. So exciting!
We finished off our Lighthouse Keeper stories and read them to the Year 2 children. They were really impressed and listened very well.
Our new story this week was called Flotsam. It is an unusual book as it only has pictures so we had to look carefully to tell the story ourselves. We have been tryng really hard to form our letters correctly and to spell even more Tricky Words.

Online Safety - 21st April 2021

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.

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.
