Science Ideas for Home Learning

If you are wanting to do some Science and STEM learning at home, follow the links to these amazing websites!

 Explorify

You will need to create a login and it may take a little while for you to familiarise yourselves with the site, but this is a great resource! Each activity has teaching notes, explaining how to use the activity…

Marvin and Milo

This website is a series of cartoon strip style instructions for easy to do science activities from the institute of physics. Each activity also has a simple scientific explanation.

Great activities to try are: reappearing coin, lava lamp, musical coat hanger (you can use any metal cutlery), convection snake, bouncing balls, ‘alkaseltzer’ rocket and balloon rocket.

Language Day Fun

Year 1 had lots of fun on Languages Day. They learnt how to say ‘hello’ in lots of different languages and how to count to 10 in French and German. The children sung  songs in different languages, and can now all sing Frère Jacques beautifully!

The children particularly enjoyed tasting the different French foods. They were all delicious!

Welcome back to Year 1

Welcome to Year 1!

Children in Base 5 and 6 have come back to school with a fantastic attitude and are ready to learn. They have already settled in well to the new routines.

Each week, spelling homework will be sent home on a Monday to be completed every night and returned on a Friday.

Maths homework will be sent home on a Friday and should be returned by the following Thursday.

We encourage the children to read as much as possible at home, please record your child’s reading in the reading record every time you read together.

Our PE days are:

Monday – Outdoor PE
Thursday – Indoor PE

Please send your child with appropriate PE kit on a Monday and we will send it home on a Friday.

Forest school will take place later in the year. A letter will be sent home nearer the time.

Thank you for your support. We are looking forward to a really exciting year ahead!

Year 1 Toy show and tell sessions

Dear Parent/Carer,

As part of this term’s History topic about Toys, we will be looking at some examples of modern toys. We would like to invite the children to bring a toy in next week as part of a show and tell session.

Could they bring the toy, clearly labelled with their name, on:

Base 5 – Tuesday 15th January

Base 6 – Thursday 17th January

Please do not send in any valuable or sentimental toys, as although we will do our best to look after the toys that are brought in, accidents do sometimes happen, and we would hate for any treasured toys to be lost or damaged.

Many thanks,

Year 1 team
