Year One Meadowside

Wahooooooo, it’s the summer holidays!

Here are some activities that you could do whilst you’re at home. There is no pressure to do these activities, they are there if you wanted to do something.

The most important thing to do over summer is to READ! This could be anything –  your books at home, magazines, comics (Phonics Play have some amazing ones here – https://phonicsplaycomics.co.uk/ Depending on whether we continue with Rising Stars, you can sign up to Oxford Owl for free. They have lots of online books too (Biff, Chip & Kipper style).

The Summer Reading Challenge is also available this year – just virtually instead!

Here is the link – https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/summer-reading-challenge-silly-squad

Here are some possible activities you could do for English, Maths and Phonics:

They could also practise their handwriting and letter formation:

And don’t forget to HAVE FUN!! You have worked incredibly hard this year, I am so proud of you all. Enjoy your summer holiday and I’ll see you when you’re all grown up in Year 2!! Miss Place is VERY lucky to have you all.

Lots of love,

Here are some of the things I would like you to include:

• Your name!
• Describe yourself and things you like to do
• One really interesting thing about you
• Your favourite thing to do at school
• What you have enjoyed the most whilst being in lockdown
