Welcome to Year One's Spring Term Topic - On the Move!
Year 1 Topic Leaflet: On the Move
Please have a look at our topic leaflet for this term.
We've created a third Home Learning Workbook, with challenges to complete at home, inspired by the kinds of Independent and Topic-based learning we would do in class. Like the previous books, we'd expect this to take 2-3 weeks to complete.
Phonics Home Learning Plan - Week Beginning 13 July
Hello and welcome to the Summer Term. We hope that you all had a good Easter. We have added some Phonics and English activities to the website. For Maths, we'd recommend that you carry on using the WhiteRose resources (which are below) and please carry on reading using Bug Club. If you run out of books on Bug Club, please message your teacher so we can release more. Please carry on with your diary writing if you are already doing it.
The Story of St George and the Dragon
If you still want the first two Home Workbooks, they are here.
Science
If you want to learn about some of the amazing animals on our planet, have a look at the activities on Chester Zoo's website: https://www.chesterzoo.org/tozooathome
If you go to the main zoo page, there are factfiles about all the animals they have at the zoo. Which is your favourite?
Zoo Webcams
If you want to see some animals, these zoos have webcams:-
Edinburgh Zoo (Pandas, penguins, tigers and Koalas) - https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/webcams/panda-cam/
Dublin Zoo (African Savannah, Penguins and Elephants) - https://www.dublinzoo.ie/animals/animal-webcams/
San Diego Zoo (Baboons, Penguins, Pandas, Polar Bears, Apes, Koalas, Giraffes, Owls, Elephants, Tigers and Condors) - https://zoo.sandiegozoo.org/live-cams
Although the San Diego cams are the best, because of the time difference between us and California, you will only start to see animals after about 3pm.
