Dear Parents/Carers.
We hope you are all keeping safe and this week’s suggested lessons have gone well. Remember to share any work your child has completed, whether it’s their school work or something else they may have achieved. We always enjoy seeing what they have been up to. Remember to check the ‘Shout Outs!’ newsletter and blog.
We hope you enjoyed reading the messages from all the school staff on the video created by Mr Norris. It is available on our website homepage: https://www.moldgreenprimary.co.uk/
Here are the details of work for next week:
Maths
For next week we would like you to complete lessons for week 4. They are pasted individually below in the order they should be completed.
These lessons build on this week’s work, so it is important that they have completed those first. They will be using their knowledge of the value of each digit in a 2 digit number to compare and order numbers. The lessons look at using a number line. So again if you have a tape measure this would work fine. It also talks about using Deines apparatus as shown in the video (the towers of tens and ones) again your child could make the towers of tens using lego bricks, or they could simply draw towers of tens and ones to help them to compare the numbers.

English
For English this week, we would like you to complete the lessons for Week 4 (each lesson has a link below in the order it should be completed.)
These lessons include phonics, spelling and this week the area covered is identifying and writing questions, based on the story ‘The Tiger who came to Tea’. We have looked at questions before so they will be familiar with this. The lessons progress through the week from reading the story, committing it to memory, identifying and writing questions and finally writing the story.

The above work schedule and links are there for you should you wish to use them. Whilst they are important, we also feel that you should only complete tasks that flow for you and your family in your day-to-day life during this difficult time. Activities should be fun and not be stressful for children or parents. You and your family’s well-being are paramount to us.
We look forward to seeing all the fantastic work you do. You could email them to us at the email addresses below. These emails can also be used if you need any further help, advice or if you want one of us to call you.
Thank you,
The Year 1 team
