Welcome to Class 1!
Our teacher is Miss Young and we are supported by Miss Reeves. We are taught on a Monday morning by Mrs Wilkinson.
Week beginning 29.6.20
Home learning this week will be the same as previous weeks. We will be completing the same work in school as what I have assigned for home learning. For English and maths, you can follow BBC Bitesize daily lessons. All of the bitesize resources are released on the day of the lesson. In school we are loving ‘Monster Phonics‘ for our phonics lessons, so we will continue using this to recap all of our known phonics. Follow the link above to find the daily video or powerpoint and worksheet. Let’s see how many sounds you can remember! Remember to keep practising your letter formation.
Every afternoon we will be heading outside to complete fun activities. I have attached the outdoors resources below so you can complete them at home too!
Remember to READ, READ, READ (and read a little bit more!)
Who will be the TimesTable Rockstar this week? Keep practising your fluency on 2s, 5s and 10s!
Stay safe,
Miss Young

For maths and English this week, I would like you to follow BBC Bitesize for daily learning just like in previous weeks. You can complete the foundation subjects if you wish. This week, our phonics learning will be following Monster Phonics. I have chosen this website so we can complete the same activities in school and at home. In PSHCE, we will be learning about bubbles, our emotions and special people. We will also be accessing our outdoor classroom this week, so I have also attached some of the fun activities we will be doing.
Monday – Outdoor activity magic wand

We will be doing lots and lots of reading next week so please make sure you read at home too. Please use RISING STARS ONLINE GUIDE to help you log onto Rising Stars.
Our zoom will be at 11am on Friday. Keep your eyes peeled for the email reminder. If you are finding it difficult to access home learning, you can use your home learning packs I delivered on Friday. You do not have to do both! Remember to send me your amazing work as well as the fun things you get up to this week via email or facebook (m.young@collierleyprimary.co.uk). It is always so lovely to see.
I miss you all lots!

Stay safe.

Hello Class 1,
I hope you have a lovely week last week and found home learning fun. I know I found it tricky getting back into the swing of things. This week your learning is very similar to other weeks. You will be using BBC Bitesize for all of your daily lessons. I would love to see the work you have been doing.
In maths this week, you will be learning how to count in 2s and 5s. This will help you with your timestables. I wonder who will be our timestable rockstar this week? In English, you will be learning about letter formation and different sentence types.
Please complete 2 activities from your home learning grid. There’s lots of fun and creative activities on there which I know you will love.
Class 1’s home learning grid Summer

Hi Class 1,
I hope you had a lovely half term and enjoyed the glorious weather. Since this is a new half term, I have created new home learning packs with lots of fun activities to help your learning. These will be available in the bike shed this week. I will also provide an answer booklet.
This week we will be using BBC bitesize (just like in previous weeks). All of the English and maths resources are online for you. In English, make sure that you are forming your letter and using your punctuation correctly. I know you are super at it! In maths, you are focussing on mass and capacity again. I know you have done this in the past but this means you will be even better at it. Please complete a daily maths and English lesson. The third lesson is optional.
This week our main focus will be on phonics and reading. I wonder if you can read at least 2 books by Friday using Accelerated Reader or Rising Stars.
As you all know phonics in Year 1 is so important. Please try and complete your daily phonics lessons following the link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP_FbjYUP_UtldV2K_-niWw.
I wonder if you can create your own phonics game using the phase 3 and 5 sounds you know? Follow this link to help you with ideas incase you get stuck https://www.pinterest.co.uk/jobarratt/active-phonics/
Get your grown up to take a picture of your game and email me your pictures!
Why don’t you read all of the phase 3 and 5 digraphs and time yourself? Who can say them all correct first – you or your adult? I know you all love playing phonics games online so why don’t you give this Phase 5 frog game a try? Remember to read the word and jump on the read word logs.
Challenge of the week – Create a daily menu for your family. Can you make/bake one of the items?
Our zoom this week will be Wednesday morning at 11am. I look forward to seeing and hearing from you all! Don’t forget to send me emails and pictures of your fantastic work. My email is m.young@collierleyprimary.co.uk.
Keep smiling and stay safe.
Miss Young 🙂

As most of you are aware, this week is going to be really exciting as we are going to try a zoom chat in little groups! You don’t need to prepare anything for the call however bring something along which you have created while you have been learning at home – just like a little show and tell. I know you all love showing things you have created (e.g a picture, a model, or anything else you can think of).

I hope you have all had a lovely Easter and spent some quality time with your family. I have loved seeing your amazing work. Keep it up!
This week, the home learning tasks look a little bit different. I have created 9 fun challenges which I know you will enjoy. It is now Summer Term so we are going to be focussing our learning on new topics.
Below you will find documents/links which you will need to complete the challenges. You do not need to print off the worksheets, just complete the challenges in your red book (sent home in the pack) or a piece of paper.
Daily White Rose Maths sessions
The Day the Crayons quit –
The Day the Crayon’s Quit story map challenge.
- Use the book to help retell the story in a picture and key word form (eg the red crayon drawing a fire engine etc, followed by an arrow moving to the next event in the story – purple crayon)
As a class we created a story map about ‘Beegu’ to help us retell the events. I wonder if you can retell the events of ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ in the same way.
Enjoy your challenges!
Don’t forget to email me your work or send it to the Facebook page.
Week beginning 30.3.20
This term we have been learning about the United Kingdom. We have learnt about the 4 countries which make up the UK (England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales). As part of our in class research, we looked at human and physical landmarks in each country and the reasons why they are famous (e.g a human landmark is the Titanic Museum in Belfast. It is famous because that is where the Titanic was created / A physical landmark is the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland. A Mythical giant called Finn MacCool built the causeway to get to Scotland for battle).
Your task this week is to become an architect. Create a simple model of a famous UK landmark. In your special books (red book inside your home learning pack) create a plan to show what you intend your landmark to look like. Use recyclable items in your house to create your model. Here are some examples:
Extension activity
Use the internet to research your chosen landmark. With the facts you have found, create a fact file/leaflet/poster to persuade members of the public to visit your chosen landmark.
I am so excited to see what landmarks you have chosen to create and research! This activity will show your artistic talents as I know you are a creative bunch.
Don’t forget to share it with us on Facebook.
Miss Young.
P.S I would also like you to complete a daily maths lesson on White Rose maths.

Week Beginning 23.3.20
This term we have been learning about everyday materials. This week we are going to learn about natural and man-made materials. Go on a scavenger hunt around your house and/or garden and find 20 items. After you have found the items, discuss with your grown-up and sort these into natural and man-made categories. Think carefully about the material used to create you item (e.g a chair could be made out of wood)
To record your findings, you could make your own sorting table, create a poster, or use your imagination to show what you have found.
Here is a video to help you!
Enjoy!

This is our foundation report to show what we have been learning in the foundation curriculum in the spring term:
Spring Foundation report Class 1
Our Learning
Class 1 at Collierley Primary School is a seamless transition for the children who have accessed our fantastic EYFS provision. We aim to build upon the learning environment, experiences and skills children have had in reception, whilst supporting them to emotionally acclimatise to Year 1. During this year, the children will begin to take ownership over their learning and take on a range of different opportunities during child-led learning (continuous provision) to develop their independence, resilience and self-motivation. We will support all pupils through this inclusive curriculum while accessing high quality environments indoors and outdoors.
Phonics is a big part of Class 1. The children will further develop their phonics skills through a daily 20 minute session on a morning, These are fun sessions which involve games and tasks. They will learn tricky words, spelling rules and how to sound out and blend to aid them with their reading and writing. They will be encouraged to ‘have a go’ at spelling when writing independently, by sounding out words. This is all in preparation for the National Phonics Screening Test which takes place in Summer term.
Our ultimate aim is to raise standards and outcomes for all of our children
