ICT and Music in Year 1

I had a lovely day with Yr 1 on Thursday last week and am already excited to go back this week! I will be with Yr 1 every Thursday this school year to provide Mrs Moger with SEN time as the school SENCO.

In ICT we will be using the school ICT suite as a whole class. Your child has a password to enter our network of computers, they also have a password to access a fantastic package called 'Purple Mash', this can be done at home through our school website too!
So far we have been playing a game to develop our use of a keyboard. What seems to be tripping children up is their capital letter knowledge and relating this to lower case letters. Mrs Moger and I will be picking this up but any help in revising these at home would be much appreciated.
Last week we wrote about people in our homes (see class display board). This week the children will be using a Purple mash program to draw their favourite rooms in their home and to explain why.

In Music we sang some fun songs to warm up our voices and bodies, we then composed our own music just using hand sounds! The children worked well in small groups and some groups
performed these to their class mates. This week the children will be composing more music using a selection of percussion instrument and writing this onto a score! Clever stuff for Yr 1 already!!!

Please come and discuss with me any aspects above, likewise if you have skills to offer then again please see me.

Thank you!

Mrs Mewett
