Good Morning!

Here are the things we would like you to do today. Remember that today you will have to watch the phonics video rather than join us in the classroom but I look forward to catching up with you at 1.45 using the Google Meet link. Today I will read you a story after we have had a quick chat about the English that you will have done in the morning.

I have added instructions on how to make your screen show everyone (a couple of posts down). When I am teaching do please pin me on your screen so that I am big and the children can see what I am doing. To go back to the grid just unpin me by clicking on the pin again.

Cuppa and a catch up 11.30

Don’t forget there is a short session just for parents and carers this morning. This is just for adults and will give you the opportunity to ask any questions, have a catch up and share how it is going. It is not compulsory but it would be lovely to see you if you can join. The google meet invite is different to the one you have been using for the live teaching sessions and can be found on the letter that was in your child’s learning pack.

English

One of our favourite traditional tales is Rapunzel.  Do you know the story?  You may have a copy of this story at home that you could read, if not then please do watch the video below. 

 How many of the key features of traditional tales did you notice?  Please record your work on this sheet or write the answers in your red book.  If you do it on the sheet please trim the sheet so that it fits neatly onto one page of your red book.

Phonics

Please watch Lesson 7 of the Year 1 Lessons where you will learn another way of spelling the long o sound- ow as in snow.

History

How have people’s lives changed in living memory?

This half term we will be following a series of lessons that explore the ways in which life has changed over  the last 60 years.  I am sure they will bring back a few memories for all of you parents too.  The lessons are provided by “Oak Academy” and are led by teachers.  

Today I would like you to look at Lesson 1.  In this lesson, we will learn about some of the ways in which popular music has changed over the last 60 years. We will learn how the ways in which people listen to music has changed over time and will look more closely at cassettes and CDs. We will then listen to some songs from singers and groups from the 1960s to 1980s. You will need a piece of paper and a pencil.

Afterwards maybe you could ask your parents and grandparents what popular music they enjoyed listening to when they were younger!

HEADS UP FOR TOMORROWS SCIENCE SESSION!

Tomorrow there will be an experiment to try at home.  You will need to get ready  some twigs or a piece of wood, a plastic bag or a plastic cup, a glass cup, cardboard or paper, and a pair of socks or piece of fabric.  If you don’t have these materials, you can just watch the experiment in the lesson.
