Lego old or new?

Do you remember this man? It is Ole Christiansen.

He was the founder of Lego, although he started off by making wooden toys.

Lego is one of my favourite toys to play with. 

Lego is an old toy that was made in 1932 but it is still played with today. 

Can you think of a toy that is old but we still play with it even today?

 I can think of one. Here is a clue:

You can watch the Lego story here:

Why not pick a challenge and have a go at making something with Lego at home:

Perfectly Norman

Today's story is Perfectly Norman. 

In this story, Norman discovers that the coat was making him miserable and not the wings. Hiding your differences can make us feel more miserable than showing them.

Our differences are an important part of who our identity. 

What does being brave mean to you?
Write a few sentences about a time when you were brave. How could you encourage someone else to be brave like you?

World meditation day

Happy World Meditation day!

Do you remember meditating in class? I miss meditating with you all!

Meditation is the art of focusing on something (such as a picture, a sound, an object of the imagination, or one’s own breathing). Meditation encourages attention and awareness, as well as mentally and emotionally calm state.

There are lots of different ways to meditate. One way is through breathing exercises. 

Try it for yourself here:

If you are interested in using meditation apps, you can ask an adult at home to download one for you:

Multiplication - still counting in 10s

Hi Year 1, are you ready to get EVEN BETTER at multiplying by 10?😊😊😊

Here is your video for today. 

It is a bit longer, so you may want to get yourself some small objects (maybe counters, buttons or small toys) so you can join in or copy the activities.

Here is a challenge for when you are done:

Mr Huff

Today our story is Mr Huff.

What is a "huff"? When do you get in a huff?

Do you think Mr. Huff might return? Why? 
Have you ever felt like Mr. Huff or someone like him, was sharing their day? 
I think Mr. Huff is what Bills' sad feelings look like.

Can you draw what your sad feelings might look like if they were a character.
Once you are done, write a letter to your sad feelings telling them how you feel about them and why.



You could...make your own Mr Huff out of newspapers. Can you write around him what different things you do when you are in a huff?

I spy...

On my walk yesterday I spotted something through a fence...I wonder what it is?

Some animals have particular features on their body to help them adapt to their habitat. A habitat is the environment an animal lives in. It is the animal's home.

Pick an animal from the picture below. Can you think about where it's habitat is and what it is like there? Write it in the comments below.



You could... make a habitat diorama for one of the animals.

In the Autumn term we took a trip to the Museum of Childhood (toy museum).

We saw lots of old toys from the past. Have a look at the picture, and describe which toy is old and which toy is new. How do you know?

Hi Year 1. How are you doing? What have you been up to lately? How are you finding learning at home?

Your challenge today is to try and make your own board game. Think about how many players the game can have, what things you will need to play it, how can you win the game? It might be helpful if you write a set of instructions telling people how to play.
