1G Home Learning Support
1G Home Learning
Dear Parents/Carers, In light the government's decision to close schools due to COVID 19 please use this page to support your child with their learning at home.
How can you support your child at home?
Keeping your child's brain active is really important when they are not in school and there are lots of fun ways to learn at the same time too! I am hoping to keep this page updated with lots of fun ways to learn at home with your child.
Enjoy the tasks as much as you can! Have discussions together about the tasks set and work together to create memories. Make the most of being at home together take part in some creative learning.
Please do not feel you have to complete everything in the pack. I have included some links to educational websites to support your child in their learning too.
The most important thing is to keep happy, keep smiling and keep yourself fit and healthy!
Take care of one another and see you soon.
Miss Gardner, Mrs Carter and Mrs Grattan

Why were castles important a long time ago?
Research, investigate and create a homework project about castles.
You can be as creative as you like – booklets, model, poster, sewing, collage – anything that take your fanRM Maths is a resource that all children are familiar with in school.
20 minutes of RM Maths a day (or more if you prefer) would be a sufficient amount of time to progress your child in their Maths learning. It covers a range of topics too.
There are lots of exciting ways to learn your spellings.

- Write them in a tray of sand, rub it out and write it again!
- Write it using spaghetti
- Use chalk and write the words on path or on you drive way
- Paint the words
- Write it on the a tray of glitter and shake it to hide it again.
- Fill up a bottle of rice and had the objects in and write the words you see.
- Get a grown up to create a word search and search for the words in it and write them down.
- There is a brilliant 'Castles and Knights' section for your child use to support their learning too.
- There is also a 'Plants' section for your child to deepen their understanding of the topic. They can watch video clips of plants, keep a plant diary and many more activities too.
