Welcome to Year 1!

Dear year 1 families, 

This week we will be bringing back our good morning and end of the day story videos!!!!!!!!!! 

We are incredibly excited for this, so I hope you find time to watch these :) . In addition to these, I will be doing a prerecorded live lesson. This week's is on Thursday. I will be recapping some phonics, and introducing the tasks for the Talk 4 Writing. 

They can all be accessed on the school video page...  

How do I find this page?  click children, then the School video page. alternatively, follow this link: https://harlaxton-c-of-e-primary-school.primarysite.media/ 

RWI

After considering the RWI and phonics resources available for home learning, I have redesigned the RWI lessons so that they have a more accessible format and can be repeated as much or as little as necessary for your child. I will be focussing on the  speed sound element which develops your child’s fluency with some short writing tasks associated with this. The main drive will be reading fluency and a minimum 10 minute read on a book associated with your child’s reading level. I have also planned further English resources including reading comprehensions and writing tasks. Please ensure that your child continues to revisit and reuse the speed sounds they have revised earlier and these are used when completing these further English tasks.

Reading books: 

Please remember, you can access new reading book through the Oxford Owl website: 

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/login?active-tab=students 

Username: harlaxton1  password harlaxton   . 

Please ensure to read stories that are your child's current level. 

Uploading your work: 

Thank you to all those parents who have uploaded work via PM. It allows me to keep a close assessment of your children while you are remote learning. If you can start to use the 'Work' tab at the top of the PM page, then 'upload' your child's work that way, then I can see the images much better. There is no need to upload every piece of work that your child completes. Please keep ahold of it and I will file it with your child's home learning work once we return to school. However, If we specifically request to see some work, or you feel your child had worked incredibly hard and you would like this piece to be showcased then please upload this through the PM 'Work' tab as previously described. 

Important: 

Please do not feel the need to print all resources out. We are more than happy for your child to write their answers on paper or an exercise book. 

Myself and the year 1 team will be in contact with you throughout this lockdown on a weekly basis. If you feel you need any extra support please contact the school, or leave a message for me on the class Purple Mash blog.

Registration 

I will continue to register all children through the blog. I understand that not everyone will be able to support their children by 9am. Please can you let me know your child has engaged with the learning by 5pm. If there are any issue with accessing the learning please contact the school and we will try our best to support you in any way we can. I politely request that at the absolute minimum, you ensure your child is reading everyday, is counting, subtracting and adding within 20 and is practicing their phonics everyday.  

Private and personal information 

if you need to contact me with private or personal information please do this formally through the school email. 

I wish you and your family good health, 

Kind regards, 

Mr. Rowe

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.

Homework
