ICT

Year 1 have started using the ICT suite to access work through Merlin. You will receive the children's passwords again tomorrow (Fri 16th Sept), please if you can practise this with your child as time can be much consumed just inputting the passwords!!!On Merlin we have used Purple Mash to fill in a house outline when talking about our family and also had great fun filling in the Hansel and Gretel house outline. Choosing sweets to fill in was a favourite with most children! Please look at these at home if you wish?
In maths we are using I Board which again you can access through Merlin. The children have accessed Yr 1 account, '2, Counting and Understanding number'. The children have accessed the 3 activities along the top of this page which all begin with 'Comparing....' Please let them practise these activities, another activity is under section 3 in Yr 1 account called 'Allowing two dice', again a simple practise in adding two numbers together.
Finally on the Merlin Yr 1 page, if the children click on the photo with 'the chalk and calculation on' I will place on another activity weekly which they can access and play when they fancy.

Thank you, Mrs Mewett
