A message from the teachers

Hello Year One!

We’re all excited to welcome you back in one way or another. Once again, we’ll all have to get used to a new way of working but we know you’re all up to the challenge. We love seeing what you’re getting up to at home so do keep emailing us photos of your work. We will also be on Teams every morning and afternoon to have a chat, feedback on your day and hear what how you’ve been finding your learning.

In English, we will be linking our learning to our Wizard of Oz topic and maths lessons will follow the WRMH scheme. In science we are learning all about materials. All work will be uploaded on Monday morning onto the Year One Working from Home page.

We expect everyone to still be doing daily reading and spelling practice – you can read your own books from home or you can make use of the books from the reading scheme on the Oxford Owl website. The spellings are on the main Year One page, along with any phonics resources you might need. We will also set weekly Mathletics.

If you would like to send us anything or ask us any questions, you can e-mail them to year1@holytrinity.leeds.sch.uk . We look forward to seeing your home-learning and creative projects!

Keep working hard and remember to always try your best.

Miss Appleyard, Mrs Riddell, Mrs Bowman and the Year One Team

Suggested timetable for home learning

Half term Monday 15th February – Friday 19th February

Phonics and Handwriting

YouTube – Letters and Sounds phonics lessons

PE

There are lots of great ideas across the internet to keep kids active at home and we have provided links to these below such as Joe Wicks workouts and Cosmic Yoga. However,these are not physical education lessons, and we all know the importance of physical education to a child’s development and self-confidence. Therefore we will provide 2 links to Physical Education lessons here. Learning and practicing the fundamental skills of agility, balance, coordination and strength are so important.

The department for education have recommended the Yorkshire Sport Foundation #ThisisPE campaign https://bit.ly/ThisIsPE_YouTube

Music

Other ideas for home learning

  • Unleash your creative power and get your voice heard today! Enter the “500 Words Story Writing Competition” for pupils aged 5-13 and be in for a chance of winning an unforgettable day out with Virgin Radio. Over a million stories have been submitted since 2011, in response to everything from technology to climate change and the latest topic is the Black Lives Movement.  https://500words.me/
  • If you want any further lessons/resources, beginning Monday 20 April, BBC Bitesize will publish daily online lessons for all ages. We’ll also have a new dedicated TV channel full of learning content, podcasts on BBC Sounds and loads of educational videos on iPlayer.
  • Mini First Aid are offering free online children’s First Aid sessions during the lockdown. The first of 6 live sessions will be shown at 11.00am on Thursday 23rd April via their central Facebook page at www.facebook.com/minifirstaid
    • The sessions will run for 15-20 minutes and involve some of the content which they teach on a daily basis in schools during “non-lockdown / normal times”. The content comes from the “Kids” classes which they teach to Key Stage 2 children, but it should also be fine for KS1 children to watch alongside their parent / carer / siblings.

  • Victory in Europe Day or VE day, marks the day of the end of World War Two between Europe and Nazi Germany. We celebrate this day because it was the end of the fight between Europe and Nazi Germany and we commemorate the war veterans for their service. VE Day will be held on Friday 8th May 2020 and for those of you who would like to do some VE Day activities please use the links below.

Supporting Collective Worship at home

Whilst we are away from school, we wanted to make sure our pupils and families still have the opportunity to take part and worship together. There will be a weekly video from Mrs Swann, a member of our Holy Trinity Church family and additional links which can be used to support Collective Worship at home.
