Hello Y1! Well done for making it to the end of term and continuing all the amazing work at home that you would in class. It will make all the difference and we are incredibly proud of you all!

Here are some lesson ideas for Friday.

Friday is spelling day again – so can parents test you on the spellings you have practised at home all week? Again, please send your scores to Mrs Goodwin and Mrs Lee via the PurpleMash email as they cannot wait to hear how you get on.

Here are the next set of spellings which you may already have a paper copy of:

Year 1 spellings Spring Week 12 suffix ing

Mrs Goodwin’s Group spellings e-e

Mrs Lee’s Group (recap or er)

For Literacy today there is a final game linked to our theme of suffixes this week. This time we are looking at plurals. On PurpleMash a 2do has been set to match the singular (one object) to the plural (more than one object) e.g cat to cats. This is a fun memory style game so have fun!

We have also popped on a fun Science/Art activity as our topic of Materials comes to an end. Can you draw a picture of your house, choosing the correct materials it is made from? Here is a picture I have attempted of my house :) It is trickier than it looks!

Here are the activities for today for Literacy and Phonics:

Miss Hammond is continuing to make her videos to help keep up the practise at home of the phonics flashcards and year 1 sounds. You could play the 4-in-a-row game again as that proved popular today.

In addition to this there is a new game in your 2do’s on PurpleMash, linked to your spellings. This is a little fun quiz. You can set the time to show the words for as little or as long a time as you like.

Then, for Literacy put your suffix knowledge into practise with this activity:

You choose the correct word ending for the word. Maybe you can write some sentences of your own with the year 1 word endings? You could use words from the game or even words from your spellings.

Hope you enjoy this. You will be suffix experts in no time!
