Year 1 Spellings

Here are new spellings to practise, following this week’s spelling test.

All children in Y1 have the same spellings this week as they will be practising Summer 1 Jumping Orange words. Jumping Orange words are the words your child should know in line with their year group that were sent out at the beginning of the year. Your child will be tested on these after the half term break on Friday 29th May 2020.

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.

 

Thursday’s phonics challenge

Again, we will be focusing on those early phase 3 sounds of j,v,w,x,y,z,zz and qu.  This time please select the game Buried treasure on phonics play which they should be familiar from phase 2.  Hopefully, your child will really be getting confident with these sounds now.

Hello Year 1,

I hope you have had a lovely day and have managed to enjoy some of the sunshine. We have been doing lots of practical work this week, so for today’s lesson we are going to use BBC Bitesize and White Rose to recap on what we have learned so far and continue to practise comparing capacities.

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.
