Good Morning Year 1!
As you can see, this week is slightly different, as I (Miss Woodend) am taking over your learning page to get to know you a little more. This means that next year …. I am going to be your new Year 2 teacher! I am so excited!
Watch the video below for a quick hello!
Helping in our classroom next year is also going to be Mrs Connolly, who is also incredibly excited to get to know you!
Just like you have been used to over the past couple of months of home learning, I will be posting a sheet of activities that can be dipped in and out of throughout the week. I will also be posting a couple of activities each day for you to complete. The children at school will be completing exactly the same work as the children at home, so please don’t worry!
If you would like to contact me over the coming week, my email address is l.woodend@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk.
I am looking forward to receiving your photographs and getting to know you all.
Here are the activities for you to access throughout the week:
Here are Monday’s daily activities:
Getting to know you!
Below I have attached a getting to know you sheet just like the one I used in the video. Please complete your sheet, thinking really carefully about all of your favourite things. This will help me to get to know you even more! If you are unable to print out the sheet, you could draw your own or create a poster and include all of your favourite things using the headings to help you. Once finished, take a photograph and send it to my email address. I can’t wait to find out all about you all!
Faith-Filled and Hopeful
During our time at home over the last couple of months, we have all had to put our trust in God and be as full of faith and hope as we possible could be in such different and difficult times. Therefore, the teachers at school decided that the best virtues to focus upon during the last two weeks of home learning would be faith-filled and hopeful.
Activity 1 - Walking by faith
1 person is to be blindfolded whilst another guides them from one point to another without bumping into anything. Before blindfolding, the guider will ask “Do you trust me to guide you? Do you have faith in yourself and in me to get from here to there without being able to see where you’re going? I will be with you for the journey and guide you along the way. Are you ready?”
The guider then guides the blindfolded person from point A to B. To make it more difficult, can the guider use only verbal directions?

Now discuss. How is this similar to following God? How is this like our spiritual walk in faith? Why do you think the Bible calls our spiritual life a ‘walk’? In what ways does God guide us? Is everyone’s journey the same? What ONE step will you take this week in your spiritual walk? Write this in your books or create an image on Purple Mash.
