Y1 Phonics

Phonics this week in Y1 is securing our split digraph knowledge. We thought you would enjoy a phonics BINGO week. You may like to play this as a family. Here is a link to an online BINGO game:

https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/bingoOriginal/index.html

You can download the cards via the green button, or if you do not have a printer simply download to your devise and copy out your chosen game cards onto a post-it or piece of paper.

Select the game number you want to play and the BINGO game will pop up. Today we are playing the split digraph game 23, sound a-e. Pull the lever and see what word it pops up. If you have the word on your card, colour it in. When you have all the words coloured on your card, shout BINGO! Who will be the phonics BINGO champion?

Literacy

Hello Year 1.

This week we are having a Science theme linked to our Literacy learning.

Today we would like you to learn about How Plants Grow. Attached is a PowerPoint to help with your learning, but you may like to do your own research this week too. I know many of you have already been busy planting at home, so if you are able to do so and haven’t already you may like to get planting in the garden at home for a real-life experience of our topic. We would love to see your photos of this on the blog.

Can you cut and stick the process of planting in the correct order using the sheet attached? If you do not have a printer, you could create a grid and draw your own planting sequence yourself. You could write sentences underneath each picture to describe what is happening.

On PurpleMash you will also find the following 2do’s:

Once again, it has been just too hard to pick one star of the week this week. You have all worked really hard at home. Here are just a few of the children who have blown me away with their continued dedication…

Have a wonderful bank holiday at home. Enjoy your celebrations and family time.

Miss Hailey.

Today is spelling test day! Good luck in your spelling test and please remember to hand in your score to Mrs Goodwin and Mrs Lee. Next week we are continuing with our split digraph revision.

We hope you have enjoyed learning about the weather – we have enjoyed seeing your fantastic weather charts coming in.

Today’s learning is about the ‘Seasons’. Can you guess which season is being shown by looking out for visual clues in the PowerPoint attached.Seasons PPT

You may like to do you own further research about seasons. Then can you use or adapt the sheets attached. Get creative and transform the trees into how they would appear in each season. You may want to use colours, paint or collage for this activity. Then choose one (or more if desired) season you would like to research and write about in more detail.

On PurpleMash you will find a Seasons Quiz to prove your knowledge.

Have fun. Have a fantastic VE Day bank holiday and a lovely, sunny weekend everybody!

Hello Year 1.

For phonics today, practise your spellings for tomorrow’s test – Miss Hammond is still posting her amazing video’s everyday to help you practise your sounds too! Could you put your spellings into sentences? Here is a colouring activity to print or adapt. Identify the real and nonsense split digraph words.

Today, can you learn about how weather is measured? Lesson Presentation Measuring the Weather

You will remember I mentioned to save a plastic bottle from your recycling. This is so that you can make your very own rain gauge (a piece of equipment to measure how much rainfall we have)! Mum or Dad may need to help you with this. Attached are some instructions to make it. Also attached is a sheet to take measurements of how much rain you collect each day. You could record this on consecutive days or spread it out over a longer time span due to the weather being sunny/showery at the moment.

Finally, can you write about how weather affects what activities we can do. What can you do on rainy day? What can you do on a Sunny day? What can you do on a snowy or windy day?

Let us know how you get on!
