A very big sorry!

This week I said that I would try to post as normal but I haven’t managed to do that.

I have been in school teaching this week and I hope over the next few weeks, I get to see more and more of you come back.

I am going to prepare all of the week’s blog posts over the weekend so that they are ready for you at home. I will also get the last two chapters of George’es Marvellous Medicine up this weekend 🙂

I have also prepared a small home learning pack that will be ready to pick up from school soon.

I am sorry that I didn’t manage to get everything on the blog this week.

Lots of love

Miss Barr

Listen to the new story by clicking here.

Once upon a time, there was a pixie called Pippety Skycap who lived in the corner cupboard in a room just like yours. Pippety loved to have fun and loved to giggle, but most of all he loved to play tricks.
One cloudy morning, he woke up feeling full of mischief. So, he put on his best
blue jacket, squeezed into his spotty boots and set off to find some fun – hoppity skip, hoppity skip, hoppity skip. Soon, he came to the old stone bridge where a grumpy troll was sleeping. “Now for some fun!” giggled Pippety and he pulled a soft feather from his pocket. Nearer and nearer he crept to the troll until he could tickle his warty nose with the feather. “A-A-A-CHOO!” The poor old troll woke up with a huge sneeze and tried to grab the tricky pixie. Luckily, Pippety was a tiny pixie, a teeny pixie and he slipped through the troll’s fat fingers. Off he sped – hoppity skip, hoppity skip, hoppity skip. Next, he came to a prickly bush where a ginger cat was watching the birds. “Now for some fun!” giggled Pippety and he snapped off a sharp thorn from the bush. Nearer and nearer he crept to the cat until he could prick her tail with the thorn. “OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!” The poor cat spun round with a yowl and a howl and swiped at the tricky pixie. Luckily, Pippety was a tiny pixie, a teeny pixie and he dodged the long, sharp claws. Off he sped, hoppity skip, hoppity skip, hoppity skip.
Soon, he came to riverbank where an old toad was dozing on a shiny lily pad. “Now for some fun!” giggled Pippety and he pulled a bright blue balloon from his pocket. Nearer and nearer he crept to the toad until he was right beside his ear. He blew and he blew and he blew until – BANG! “My poor ears!” croaked the toad and he wibbled and wobbled and finally fell into the river with a gigantic splash.  Unfortunately, Pippety had not seen that on the next lily pad was the King Toad. It looked at him with mean, beady eyes, flicked out an enormous tongue and covered him in a thick, sticky goo! “YUCK!” cried Pippety and he ran off, squishing and squelching and squelching and squishing all the way home. That evening, Pippety Skycap had a long, hot bath, snuggled up with a mug of hot chocolate and thought about his day. He remembered the sticky, oozy goo that had covered him head to foot and frowned. “I’ll just have to be a careful tricky pixie tomorrow,” he mumbled and settled down to plan some more mischief!

 

Home learning from 1.5.20

Good morning Year 1,

Tomorrow some of you are returning to school and some of you will still be at home.

I will be in school so won’t be able to post as much on the blog as I have been but I will try my best to keep you updated. I may even live stream story time from the classroom for you!

Please remember that both Mrs Winston and I miss you dearly and cannot wait until we can see you all again. Hopefully this is some time soon!

Lots of love and prayers,

Miss Barr

History 22.5.2020

Here is a good one for you!

I have saved some pictures from the internet and then taken a small snippet of them. You can only see small sections of each photo so my question to you is… can you guess what these photos are of?

What gave you clues in the pictures?

Are the pictures in colour? Does that help you to work out when these photos were taken?

What objects can you see in the pictures?

Do you think these are new or old photos?

Phonics 22.5.2020

We have finished learning about different ways to say the graphemes that we already know. I don’t want to start a new section of phonics until we return to school so today I would like you to practise the ones we have learnt today.

Click on Discovery Education and play some videos of  the alternative pronunciations you need more practise on.

 

Then go to phonics play and play some of your favourite games!

English 22.5.2020

Watch the video of me reading the whole story.

Pattan is very grateful for the pumpkin. We call this gratitude.

How does Pattan show his gratitude?

He kept a seed from the pumpkin and planted it.

Is this a way we would show gratitude?

Why? Why not?

 

Which Bible story do you know that is similar to this story by the Irula tribe in the Sahyadri mountains?

 

 

Noah’s Ark.

Can you write a story similar to these two? 

Think about:

Who is in the story? The characters.

Where the story might start.

What makes the rain come?

How do they escape? Be imaginative.

What do they do after to be people?
