Welcome to Year 1
Year 1
Dear Parents and Carers
You should have received an email or letter outlining the new home learning format.
In the section below, you will find the current home learning timetable that will be followed in school and at home. The timetable sets out lessons for each day, with where to find the links to planning on the school website, or a direct website link. The timetable, and the planning, will be updated every Friday evening, as parents/ carers may need to print off worksheets etc ready for Monday. The English planning is in a separate document. For maths we will use White Rose Maths. The videos are on their website. Click on the image below. The worksheets and answers can be downloaded from the section below.. For other subjects, we are going to use BBC Bitesize lessons. Please note that these may not be live until the day they’re meant to be completed on.

The Universal Church - Neighbours
Neighbours all around. Everyone is our neighbour and loved by God.
Neighbours all around. Everyone is our neighbour and loved by God.
This work comes from the Come and See Religious Education programme which is taught in all Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Liverpool. We have given a general guide to the learning opportunities that your child may have come across in school and have only suggested and selected a small amount of the programme. The activities aim to keep Religious Education practical and fun. They are in Year groups however, there is no harm in completing other year group work as this will help your child to remember and strengthen their learning. The activities have been adapted as far as possible to adhere to social distancing guidelines.
The first part of learning is called – EXPLORE. This shares your child’s everyday experiences and helps them to see how the Catholic faith is lived in their everyday lives. The second part, called – REVEAL shares bible stories that links to their everyday life.
Neighbours all around. Everyone is our neighbour and loved by God.

- Click on the set of lessons for your child’s year group.
- Watch the video (either on your own or with your child).
- Find a calm space where your child can work for about 20-30 minutes.

These short videos are intended to provide primary school pupils with interactive lessons while they are at home. It is important that, within each batch, they are watched in the suggested order. Most lessons are 15 to 20 minutes long, each ending with suggested follow-up tasks. All lessons use the Teaching for Mastery approach to maths that we use in school. Five lessons are added every week. Start with Week 1 Lesson 1.

Titanic and Liverpool – History Topic
1. Carry out some online research about the Titanic:
Start by clicking the green button.
Can you find out about:
· Construction – who, when, where, how long? How long/heavy?
· Passengers and crew – how many, who, where from, classes, jobs
· The journey – where did it start, where was it heading, can you plot the route on a map
· The disaster – the timeline of events, the rescue effort
· The shipwreck – when was it found, who found it, what have we learnt
2. Make an information text
This could be a fact file or poster with the most important facts you found out.
An information text should include: headings and subheadings, pictures, captions. Can you include a labelled drawing of the ship? You could even make a contents page and a glossary for your text!
3. Make tickets for the passengers
Remember to make first, second and third class tickets.
4. Make menus
You can then role play a fancy dinner in first class!
Could you draw the meals on paper plates or paper?
5. How many links to Liverpool can you find?
Here are some clues:
Captain Company Crew Band Lookout Carpathia
Add these facts to your information text.
6. Get crafty and make the Titanic!
Can you use materials in your house to make the ship? You could use cardboard boxes, bottles, tubes, felt tips, paints etc. If you can, bring it in when we’re back at school or take a photograph to show us!

We hope you enjoy learning about the Titanic at home!
