The Three Kings
Monday 23rd November 2020
Good morning, Year 1!
We hope you had a nice weekend and enjoyed the sunshine. Just a couple of notes:
- The school photos which were due to be on Wednesday 25th November 2020 will be rearranged for a later date.
- We will still be able to take part in the school nativity too, as we will film our songs when we get back to school.
We know that our Year 1 bubble closing might feel a bit strange, but it is very important that we continue to work hard and try our best. We will still be choosing a Shooting Star each week and giving out Merits and House Points too.
Every morning we will be putting work onto the website for you to complete, and we will be following the same timetable we have when we are at school. Some activities may be practical, which is sometimes how we work in school.
You can complete the activities for the day in any order you choose. If you need any help, have any questions or would like to send us your fabulous work, please send them to advice@mapledeneschool.com
Take care, we will miss you all.
Miss Young, Mrs Robinson and Miss Briggs
Monday: (the links you will need for the following are all available below.)
English
We have been reading different ‘Old Bear’ stories by Jane Hissey. Please can you watch ‘The Boat Race’ on YouTube as this is what our English work will be based on this week.
In the story the animals realised their paper boat was more like a hat! So we would like you to have a go at making your own paper hat, watching the video below to help you. You can then decorate the hat however you choose and give it to one of your teddies!
Maths – Money
We have been practising recognising different coins. This game below is great to help us sort and order the coins. Leave the counting coins until later in the week. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/money/coins-game
You could also sort coins practically if you have a money box or purse at home!

This term, Miss Young's class will have an additional PE session on Thursday. So if your child is in 1Y please send them to school in their PE kit on both Tuesday and Thursday.
We are now pleased to confirm that fruit will be provided for snack so children no longer need to bring their own snack from home.
Please ensure your child brings in a named water bottle each day to use in the classroom.
