Monday’s phonics challenge

Happy Monday!  This week we are we are going to look at how we segment the sounds in words for example you know that “cat” is made of the sounds “c”, “a” and “t”.  In the first activity the children are asked to listen to a word and then segment it (use the pat the arm technique) and then type in those sounds to make the word.  They may need help to find the correct sound on the keyboard if you have one that shows capital letters.  The game is called “rocket rescue” on phonics play (choose phase 2 level) and each time they spell a word correctly they build the rocket until eventually it takes off.  Good luck with rescuing the rocket!

Letter from Miss Cook

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have proudly managed to stay open every single day since lockdown, in order to support our key worker children and families. We have consulted with all parents who use the hub and they have kindly managed to rearrange shifts etc so that we can officially close on Friday 8th May. The reasons for this are that we want all staff (especially those who are in every day) and all children, to have a day off linked to the ‘Victory for Europe’ (VE Day) celebrations. We feel that this is an important part of our history and one that needs to be recognised by everyone.

 ‘Victory in Europe Day, generally known as VE Day or V-E Day, is a day celebrating the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender of its armed forces on 8 May 1945.’

Clearly we would have stayed open if key worker parents could not re-arrange shifts, as we remain committed to supporting everyone who is on the front line supporting us all in defeating Covid-19.

I know teachers and I would love to see any photos you showing what you got up to celebrating, but please remember that the Government rules stay the same – only leave the house to exercise, to collect essential food items and to collect necessary medical supplies.

Enjoy the day everyone, but stay safe.

Miss Cook

Year 1 Home Learning Monday 4th May 2020

Hello Year 1.

This week in phonics and spellings, we are revising split digraphs. Remember, this is when a word has a ‘magic e’ at the end which is silent, but sprinkles it’s magic onto the medial vowel to change it’s sound to a ‘capital letter sound’.  Practise your spellings and then for fun, you may choose this split digraph wordsearch. Here is a paper copy you could print or copy: Split Digraph Wordsearch

Alternatively, here is a link to a website for the wordsearch electronically. Simply follow the link and select the split digraph a-e, o-e, I-e option: http://www.ictgames.com/hybrid.html

For Literacy today, we are learning about the Weather! Read the Weather PowerPoint attached for information: T-T-9655-Year-1-Seasons-Weather-Chart-Powerpoint

Then can you use or adapt the sheets attached to begin your very own weather diary? Record what kind of weather we have each day for a whole week. There are different level sheets depending how tricky you want it to be.

Average Challenge Easy

Finally on PurpleMash, there are some Weather activities for you to complete:

You can create your own weather chart using symbols or create your own weather picture with labels and sentences.

Our Year 1 Geography links perfectly to this, so remember to choose some of the fun tasks Mrs Evans has posted to the website for the afternoon. We cannot wait to see your pictures on the blog! Have fun Year 1.
