Welcome to Dragonfly Class page!

Meet the Dragonfly Team!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello and welcome to the Dragonflies class page. It has been a lovely couple of days meeting the new Dragonflies and helping them to settle into Year 1. It was great to see the postcards that you completed over the summer holidays, and it was lovely to hear all about your adventures. I cannot wait to make great memories with all the children this year. Stay tuned to see what we get up to this term. 

Remote Learning - Day 1

Welcome to the first day of remote learning.

Day 1 will include;

English

Today we would like you to encourage your child to write some 'I can see' sentences. They have previously done this activity but will apply their writing skills to this different context. They will start their sentence by writing 'I can see' and will then complete that sentence by sounding out (don't forget to encourage 'Fred Fingers') different things that they can see.  Your child might like to do this whilst looking through a book and then writing about what they can see in the pictures. In this activity we would focus on using capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and sounding out words phonetically even if they aren't spelt correctly - encourage the children to look for 'Special Friends', do 'Fred Talk' and then 'Read the Word'. 

Phonics

Your child can also continue to read their Read Write Inc books that they have brought home with them.

Maths

Below is a link to a video focusing on 2D shapes. It will introduce your child to 2D shapes and model sorting them in relation to their properties. Fun activities for your child at home may include doing a 2D shape hunt around the house or drawing a picture using 2D shapes such as a house or a flower. Please click on the link below:
