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.
