Miss Haigh and Ms Trayer
Hello Year 1 children, parents and carers,
We understand that lots of you will be learning from home in the coming weeks, so we will be using this class page and our Year 1 twitter page @smaaayear01 to keep in touch with you. We will post activities your children can complete at home, along with support and guidance.

Also, while you are at home remember to try and keep as active as possible! Joe Wicks (the Body Coach) will be holding live PE sessions on his You Tube channel every morning at 9 o’clock!!! You can access these at any time-it is a great way to start the day!!! 🙂
It is very important to stay calm and mindful during this time. Go Noodle have some great mindfulness activities you can do indoors. Simply search ‘go noodle mindfulness’ on YouTube and you will find some short activities.
Finally, please keep scrolling down for our weekly tasks. Here we have some exciting ideas and mini lessons that you can complete with your child each week.
Take care everyone,

Lesson 1
Lent is a time to look at the ways in which we can change and live like Jesus. People can change and become more loving, kinder and more helpful.
Lent is a time to pray, to give up something and to do something good, so we can be more like Jesus.
Write down on a leaf what you have given up for Lent, or a good deed you have done for Lent. You could do this as a family and maybe make a tree displaying all of your leaves.
Lesson 2
Lent is a special time when the family of Jesus think about making a new start. There are occasions when everyone wishes they could make a new start. They wish they could do things differently and not have said or done something unkind, hurtful or silly. It is a time when the family of Jesus try to change and be more like Jesus.
Talk with your family about how you can make a new start?
