The end of another fantastic week of Home Learning means time to select our Year 1 stars again! This week we have looked particularly closely on the fabulous work being completed on PurpleMash and you continue to make us very proud with your efforts.

Here are our star certificates for children nominated this week…

Congratulations to you all! Have a lovely half term!

Miss Hailey and Miss McCullagh :)

Phonics

Today is spelling test day! We hope you have enjoyed some of the games and Miss Hammond’s videos this week. Good luck in your test and remember to email Mrs Goodwin and Mrs Lee your scores.

New spellings to follow on a separate post to our class page and spelling page.

Friday Literacy

Today we want you to think carefully about staying safe in the sun. When we visit the coast, we often go when it is hot and sunny (much like the lovely weather we have experienced over the last few weeks).

On PurpleMash you will find the following 2do:

Can you design a sun safety poster? As always paper copies welcome.

An extra 2do has been set if you are really keen.

Finally, just for fun attached is some Summer Mindfulness colouring. Relax to some music (perhaps ocean sounds) and colour the lovely pictures.

Have a lovely half term everyone.

Phonics

For phonics today please practise your spellings and flashcards using Miss Hammond’s daily video post. Can you identify the real and nonsense words for this week’s sounds using the Dragon’s Den game? Perhaps you will beat your top score from Picnic on Pluto yesterday.

Thursday LIteracy

This week you have been researching and reading about the seaside and coasts. I am sure everyone would like to visit a coast one day! Can you persuade a friend to visit the seaside?

On PurpleMash you will also find the following 2do:

Create your own leaflet persuading a friend to visit the seaside. Remember you could include many of those lovely adjectives you came up with, using your senses to describe the coast on Monday. If you would rather do a paper version and upload to the blog, then we would love to see that too.

For phonics today please practise your spellings and flashcards using Miss Hammond’s daily video post. Now can you practise putting your spelling words into a sentence?

Tuesday Literacy

Today we would like you to label the features of the coast. It may be helpful to do some research before completing this task. Always work with a grown-up to research using websites on the internet. The National Geographic for kids website may be a useful starting point.

Attached is a sheet to label. If you do not have a printer, you could draw your own coastline and then label it. The sheets attached have different levels depending how challenging you would like the activity to be.

Monday Phonics

For phonics today please practise your spellings. Remember Miss Hammond is still busy with Busy Bee making her fantastic videos to help you practise your flashcards at home and revise all your sounds. Seb in Y1 had a great idea to put his spellings into his own wordsearch. Perhaps you could try this today with parental help!

 Literacy

Hello Year 1.

This week we are going to be learning all about the seaside and coasts.

Perhaps you have been to a seaside before and can draw on your own experiences. If not, take a look at the PowerPoint attached. Imagine you are there and use your senses to describe what you think you could see, hear, smell, taste and feel.

Can you write your own Seaside senses poem? Don’t forget to include lots of exciting adjectives using your senses to describe the experience.

Attached is a template, but you could design and decorate your very own.
