Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

Home Learning

Below you will find details of the planned activities that you can complete during the time that school is closed.

Each week, I will update the timetable of activities and add links to any online resources where necessary.  In addition, weekly spellings will be included so you can continue to learn words using the phonic patterns learnt.

Resources:

Listed below are some useful resources which can be used whilst at home.  Some resources are from companies who are offering free home-learning packs  including Twinkl, Classroom Secrets and White Rose.

Leader in Me

On a daily basis, the children try to demonstrate our core values within school. As we aim to practise them so often, they become good habits that we can use not only in school but also at home too. 

• Habit 1: Be Proactive (You’re in Charge)
• Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind (Have a Plan)
• Habit 3: Put First Things First (Work First, Then Play)
• Habit 4: Think Win-Win (Everyone Can Win)
• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood(Listen Before You Talk)
• Habit 6: Synergise (Together Is Better)
• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw (Balance Feels Best)

Growth Mindset

This year we will be helping the children to develop a Growth Mindset. This aims to increase their resilience, perseverance and independence in their learning. Further information can be found by following the link below.
