Hello and welcome to Year 1! We’ve got an exciting year ahead of us and it’s great to have this week to get to know each other before the summer holidays. To get us started I’ve put together some activities, splitting them into School Learning and Wednesday Extra Activities. If you’re sending your child into school please don’t attempt the school learning section, but feel free to join in with my Wednesday extras to keep you busy! Alongside the resources on here, I will be adding a few videos onto Seesaw to introduce some of the challenges, so please do take a look if you can. Although I don’t post all the activities on Seesaw, please feel free to take photos or upload any work you’ve completed at home as I love seeing what you’ve been up to and sharing my feedback.
When we come back in September our topic is all about story telling and fairytales, so some activities will get us started on this during the week, while others will just give us a chance to learn more about each other and on Wednesday there’s the chance to enjoy one of my favourite stories!
I hope you have a fantastic transition week and I can’t wait to get to know you all!
Miss Jarvis

1.All About Me Ice Cream: Use the attached template to write about yourself, drawing a picture of yourself in the top ice cream scoop OR draw your own! (In school we have printed this as A3 so I have attached a PDF of it in A3 and one where 2 A4 sheets can be stuck together).
2. What I Want to Learn Lolly: Using the attached template, or drawing your own, fill an as many ice lollies as you like with things you’d like to learn about next year. It could an animal you want to find out more about, you might want to learn how to paint like an artist or see what it’s like to live in Japan! Whatever it is, share your ideas of what you want to discover!

I love listening to stories! I wonder if you could record a video or voice recording of you reading a story on Seesaw for me to enjoy?
