A Message From Your Teachers...

Hello Year One- how are we all this morning? Happy Monday!  I hope you all managed to get out and enjoy the snow this weekend- I hope you had plenty of walks and snowball fights outside with your families! I went on some lovely walks as I absolutely LOVE the snow! After you have finished your work today please make sure you go out and enjoy the snow- maybe you could post some fantastic snow pictures on the blog so we can all see and enjoy them. 

This morning we have some retrieval questions in English and are comparing and ordering numbers in Maths. There is PE with Joe Wicks to enjoy, the Story of The Good Samaritan to learn about in RE and a wonderful reading of Handa's Surprise for Story Time. Make sure that you post all your fantastic work on the blog or to j2files as normal as I so enjoy seeing it all and responding to you. Don't forget to sign in with your name using the daily register too. I encourage you to complete as much as you can, but make sure you have plenty of time getting outside and enjoying the snow- we don't have many snow days and you should make the most of them!

There is also brand new Home Learning Packs available this week which you can collect from the school office from Tuesday. Make sure that you phone the school beforehand to let them know you are wanting to pick up a pack and try to come between 9.15-9.30 where possible.

Remember, if at any time you have any queries about the home learning or if you need any support, please send me an email to the address below - strose1@olstrose.bham.sch.uk.

Have a great day everyone and enjoy the snow! 

Kind Regards,

Miss Murphy and Mrs Lynch

Weekly Spellings to Practise Daily

You can also access your weekly spellings online using J2 blast which is on the BGFL App Launchpad. You can practise your spellings online here and play lots of fun games to help you learn them throughout the week! I have outlined some simple instructions below for how to find J2Blast and get practising your spellings!

Big Maths- Beat That and CLIC Tests

Please click on the PDF below and find the Beat That Test and CLIC Test with your name on. ( There should be 2 tests each.) Please print, practise and complete at home each day Monday- Thursday. You can then do your final online test on Friday morning.

Please do NOT do your online test until FRIDAY MORNING so I can then see the final test results for everyone after you have practised. Your online Big Maths test should be your final test score and should be done at the end of the week. (anyone who gets a full score for 2 weeks running will be moving up to the next level!)

RE- The Good Samaritan

Read the PPT document below and the story of The Good Samaritan below. The Story is in a PDF format that you can read along with the pictures on the PPT. Then sequence the pictures of the Good Samaritan story. Stick the pictures down in order and then write sentences or words to go with your pictures. Can you explain what is happening in each picture? 

Online Work 

It is time for you to practise your online Maths and Reading Phonic Skills. You can either try and move up a level on Numbots or read some books or sound lessons on Active Learn, complete your Big Maths Tests online or try out some spelling games on j2blast.

Numbots helps children with their sums and with counting and recognising numbers. This is very Year One friendly and helps children to improve their Maths fluency and recall in addition and subtraction facts.

Active Learn  has access to thousands of online reading books to help the children practice their Phonic sounds and become fluent readers. The more books they read the quicker they will progress in their reading so you need to be using and accessing this website regularly.

Big Maths helps them to recall number facts quickly in their learn its test and practise their skills for their CLIC test on Friday.  

You can now access your weekly spellings online using J2 blast which is on the BGFL App Launchpad. Don't forget that you will have to sign into BGFL first and then access the j2blast through the app launchpad. You can practise your spellings online here and play lots of fun games to help you learn them throughout the week!
