Sunshine
Hello Sunshines!
We are all very excited to be seeing so many of you on Monday in our Sunshine Bubbles! The weeks 6 and 7 home learning ideas are below, along with some resources.
We are really looking forward to seeing you in school very soon! The Week 5 home learning ideas are below, along with some resources you will need.
Thank you for all your hard work, we have really enjoyed seeing the emails, pictures and videos again this week. We miss you all very much. The week 4 home learning ideas are below, along with some resources you will need.
Just to let you know in advance in case you would like to purchase it, we will be using the book “Meerkat Mail” by Emily Gravett towards the end of term.
We hope you had a lovely half term and have enjoyed being out in the sunshine. Our new topic for this half term is called ‘Sizzling Summertime’ and we are starting off with some activities based on the ‘Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’ by David and Rhonda Armitage. There are lots of great stories in the series you may also enjoy. If you don’t have the books you can find many of the stories read on You tube. Week 2’s learning in English will be based on ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Breakfast’. Below you will find the spellings to practise this half term, the topic web showing what we will be covering, and the home learning ideas grid, which will be added each week. We have also uploaded a document with additional Lighthouse Keeper activities you may like to try.

We hope that you are all keeping well and enjoying the extra time you are spending at home with your family. We would like to say a huge thank you for the video showing your gorgeous little faces and sunshine art! We absolutely loved watching it. We feel very sad not to be in school teaching you all about castles and dragons this half term, but we hope you will enjoy doing some of the activities we have attached below. We would love to see some pictures and videos of the activities you are doing so please keep in touch using your class email address if you can.

Here are the spellings to learn this half term:
Sunshine spellings to practise summer 1
Please find below a link to the website ‘Spelling Frame’ which is useful for practising spelling patterns. Select Year 1 and a sound you would like to practise and make use of the free activities. Your child is learning all of the sounds throughout the year so any practise would be helpful.
Homework (NOT APPLICABLE AT THIS TIME)
Reading books will be changed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
We are always after some helping hands, if you are able to spare some time to hear readers please let your child’s teacher know and we can arrange this.
Learning Logs: At the beginning of each half term a list objectives will be posted below. Please choose one to complete each week. There are more objectives than the number of weeks so you have a wide range of activities and subject areas to choose from. If you would like to support your children at home, these objectives have been provided for that purpose but there is certainly no pressure to complete them.
The objectives are linked closely to the work covered in class during the half term. The Learning Logs will be sent home each Thursday. If your child has completed one of the objectives that week please bring it in the following Tuesday so we are able to mark them before they are sent out again!
PE
PE days for each class are as follows:
Sunshine 1: Wednesday and Friday
Sunshine 2: Wednesday and Friday
We will try to go outside when the weather permits so please ensure your child has a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a sweatshirt / fleece in a dark colour for the winter months.
Outdoor Learning
We do lots of outdoor activities throughout the year so please provide your child with a pair of named wellies which we will keep outside of the classroom on our welly rack for easy access.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to speak to any of the Year One team.
Best wishes,
The Sunshine Team
