Year 1 Summer 1 Day 2
Good morning Year 1!
It was wonderful to talk to so many of you yesterday and to be able to hear your voice. I’ m really glad that you are all doing well and that you have spent 2 lovely weeks of holiday.
Well done to Jessica, Callum, Cian, Quaratulain, Leonor, Jacob, Faria and Hana for completing their tasks on Busy Things.
Today’s learning starts with Joe Wicks.
I would like to apologise to all of you who were unable to access the pobble link for our literacy lesson yesterday. We had a technical problem, but it should work for all of you today. So here is the link:

Year 1 Summer 1 Week 1
Good morning to the fantastic Year 1!
I hope you and your families are all well and in good health. I also hope that you have had a lovely Easter break and that you were busy with the new activities and games that you had played. I wish to thank everyone who had sent me their lovely photos or wrote a little message on our class blog. That meant a lot as in these awkward times it really is important to know that we are all well.
It is time for us to start a new term and I apologise if this is going to be a lengthy letter, but there is quite a lot that I would like to share with you. I will start calling all our families today to have a little chat with you and explain in more detail how we plan to organise this term.
We start our day with we know who.
One and only Joe Wicks.
In Literacy , across the school, we will be using a new website called pobble and this week’s topic is All About the Food.
Here is the link to follow:
https://app.pobble.com/lessons/preview/2ea1891d
Keep scrolling along the slides on the left side of screen. The first slide is a picture icon, followed by the LO / Learning Objective (in this case the task is to match up the tricky words with their meaning) Please, for today do only the Vocabulary Challenge. You can post your answers in the comments of your blog tomorrow for me to check.
Maths and other subjects will be again in the form of online work from Busy Things and it is already set up for you this week. Please, make sure you complete the work in the given time frame.
Apart from these tasks I’m asking you to read every day for half an hour.
Reading: Today you will read the book called O No, George on the following link: https://www.booktrust.org.uk/books-and-reading/have-some-fun/storybooks-and-games/oh-no-george/
Switch off the sound as you read and switch it on if you struggle to pronounce some words. Use your phonics knowledge before you switch the sound on.
Phonics: Every day practice the phonics scheme on the Phonics Play website. I will explain more about this over the phone

I will be preparing for you another learning pack this week and hopefully it will reach you by Friday, 24th April.
Happy Easter Year One
Dear Year One!
How have you spent your holiday so far?
I hope it was fun and enjoyable.
In our house we had an Easter Egg hunt and I won!
I also painted some eggs and decorated my garden table for Easter breakfast.
I am missing you so much and I can’t wait to see you all.
Please, don’t forget to email photos of your rainbows, teddies or your Easter projects to:photos@allsoulsprimary.co.uk
Let me know how you’re all doing and if you have read this just write a word or two to say hello.
Lots of love,
Ms. Boric
Easter Break!
Dear Year One!
The Easter break has officially started! I have planned to spend it by doing many things I usually don’t have time to do, like sorting out my photos and creating a photo album, tidying up my garden and planting some new plants. I will be preparing for Easter by decorating Easter eggs and experimenting with some new recipes, but above all I will be reading a lot!
Tell me what are your plans for this Easter break? I can’t wait to hear from you.
Whatever you do, make sure you take lots of photos!
Your photos of the rainbow that you’ve made, your teddies in the windows, maybe some delicious cake recipe or Easter Egg hunt in your bedroom and many more can be sent to photos@allsoulsprimary.co.uk.
I will add my photos as well and some of the photos I will add to our blog next Monday!
And in case you still don’t how to spend your free time in the next couple of weeks maybe these links might help you!

Dear children, although the holiday season starts tomorrow I will touch base with you every Monday just to post an odd photo or two and to check that you are doing OK.
I wish you all a Happy Easter and I hope you’ve made your Easter bonnets.
If we were at school, we would have had our Parade today! Missing you all !
With love
Ms. Boric
I’m finishing this Friday’s blog with a message from Mrs. Plesniak!
A message from Mrs P.
Well done everyone for all your hard work at home for the last 2 weeks. Today marks the end of the Spring term and it is now time for you to relax and spend time with your families for the next 2 weeks.
Over the Easter break the teachers will be busy planning new paper work packs for you all, which will be delivered to you at home at some point over the first week.
In the meantime, please make sure you are checking your class bogs for a messages from your teacher. During Week 1 of the Summer Term, the teachers will be setting you some new maths and Busy Things activities and I will be setting you a creative writing challenge each day.
We are missing you all and think about you every day. Remember keep reading, keep moving and keep on being kind to your families.
Mrs Plesniak
Rainbow
Good morning Year One!
I’m sure that by now you are all following Ms. Ascough’s blog and I’m pretty sure that by now many of your windows are decorated with beautiful rainbows that you’ve made.
It made me really happy these past couple of days talking to you or to your parents. So good to know you are all doing well and that you listen to your parents, helping them in any way you can in these confusing and unusual times for all of us. I’m so proud of you, 50 cubes straight to our jar!
Today I would like to welcome Cassius for joining our group of hard working children who regularly accomplish their activities on Busy Things. Also I would like to mention; Layla, Jacob, Leonor, Callum, Hana, and Shaya for finishing all their assignments yesterday. I’m really pleased to see that many of you after completing your task once, are not afraid to do it again, in order to do things right and to have better score. Just keep up with your good work.
I know that many of you are reading this blog, so don’t be afraid to add your comment or question, just a few words would be enough so that I know you are not my ghost followers.
Have a lovely day everyone!
Lots of love
Ms. Boric
