The children should know how to log in, find and use 2Paint A Picture and save their work. Please save the work using the file name Morris. Thank you.

On Tuesday we read the story 'Goodnight Spaceman' and sequenced the events of the story. We drew a picture of the event and wrote a sentence about in the box underneath it.
Year 2 also wrote a sentence or two explaining what the story was about.
Here as a link to the story and I have attached a sequencing sheet for year 1 and year 2.

Both year groups have been working on 2, 5, 10. Y2 have also studied the 3 times tables. We have been investigating arrays and doubling over the last few lessons. I have attached some worksheets to try at home.
English
On Thursday we went outside at school and looked up! We thought about the different things we could see, hear and feel. We came up with a bank of descriptive words. For example. The sky had fluffy, white clouds.
On Friday we used the descriptive words we discussed to start to write a short story about when we 'looked up'. We used a story mountain as a structure. We only covered the opening and the build-up today. Today we will write the dilemma ( problem) resolution ( answer) and the closing. I have attached the example piece of writing to look at and colour coded it to the story mountain colours to help see the different parts of a story.
I will be loading work on the class 2 page for the next few days. This is to allow any children, who are well enough, the opportunity to continue to work while they self isolating.

Hello everyone, here is this week's story for you to look at with a grown up. This week we are thinking about questions, can you think of any questions which you would like to ask the knight or the dragon? Perhaps you could write them down and bring them in tomorrow.
See attached sheet, Knights and Dragons Unite, for some useful words to help.

Autumn Term 1
A few notes for the start of term:
Dear Parents/Carers,
We are really looking forward to teaching your child this year. We hope that your child is looking forward to starting, or continuing, their learning journey with us.
At this stage of your child's development we strive to encourage independence. At morning drop off, please encourage your child to walk independently with their belongings into the line. Your child will be greeted by Mrs Kelleher, Miss Chester or Mrs Hines.
In addition to recording 10 minutes of reading each day, please use your child's reading record as a form of home-school communication, for example to let us know about alternative pick-up arrangements. Reading records will be checked daily and therefore should be in book bags every day.
We will settle back to school before homework begins.
Very importantly, please ensure that your child's uniform is clearly labelled. We will make every effort to reunite your child with their clothing should they lose an item.
Best wishes
Miss Chester, Mrs Kelleher and Mrs Hines
