Mrs Meyer
Welcome to 1LM 's class page!
2018-2019
My name is Mrs Meyer and I have been at Offley for 19 years. I have been teaching for 2 years in Hertfordshire and then here in Cheshire. I am currently the MFL coordinator here at Offley and also have responsibility for SMSC (Social, moral, spiritual and cultural learning.), Rights Respecting Schools and global learning.I have taught in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 during my time at Offley. I live with my husband and three children on the Wirral and love walking my dog along the beach near my house.
Here is a bit of information about 1LM.
PE will be on a Tuesday and Thursday so please ensure PE kits are in for those days. There is a timetable on here so that you can see what we are doing. (We have put a slot for ICT although we will be using ICT as and when is appropriate through all areas )
Reading books -Children are asked each morning to place their planners and books in the basket IF they need to change their book. They are then given time during the day to go and change their books. They are also given the opportunity and asked in a small group after their guided reading session. Some children do change their books every day but others don't seem to be doing so. Thank you to the parents who have sent their child back in at the end of the day or have come to us to say they haven't changed it. It is much easier for us to remind your child if you have asked us as we don't have time to collect in and go through 30 planners every day.
What a super week again.
In maths, we have been continuing to count on to add numbers together. This time we have been making 10 and then counting on. The children have been using the 10s frames and counters to show how to make the 10 first. I have been very impressed with how they solved the number equations.
In English we continued to read Mrs Armitage on Wheels and began to story map. When we had learnt the story really well we changed part of the story. Mrs Armitage builds somewhere to keep her food on the bike and so we thought of different foods to put on the bike. Here we are story mapping and talking through the words.
All this week we have been thinking about anti bullying week. We had a special assembly on Monday and got to wear odd socks. The children looked at the following video

To follow on from this, we have been doing lots of circle time activities about respect and friendships.
The children then talked about qualities of a good friend and sorted the pictures to show what makes a good friend. The children then write some key words on the hands and we are making a class friendship wreath.
In Science, we have been continuing to look at the properties of different materials. Last week we tested different materials to see which would be best for a waterproof cover for Mrs Armitage’s dog. This week we carried out our investigation by pouring water on the different materials that we chose. We then talked about our predictions and if we were right to choose that material.
We ended the week with a super performance of Aladdin. The children loved it and behaved brilliantly throughout.
Next week we are having a visit from the GIST road safety truck.
They will be in school for two days and we are going to take a look on Tuesday. This links nicely with next week being road safety week and so we are going to be doing lots of activities based on this.
Well done year 1 , a super week.
