Year 1 Guided Reading – Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th March

We have found a lovely story that we would like to share with you at home. The story is an e-book so you can listen to it being read – using a tablet, laptop or phone. On the document below, you will find lots of questions and fun activities that you could do at home, based on this story. You may like to spread the activities over two days.

A Monster Surprise Questions and Activities

One of the activities asks you to design your own monster, using the monster body parts on this sheet.

Roll and Build your own Monster

 

I even had at go at this activity at home, after I had listened to the story! Here is the monster I designed using the dice game. I would love to see some of your monster creations on the blog too – or you could e-mail them to us!

 

 

 

 

Keep up with all the brilliant work!

Best wishes,

Year 1 Team 😃

Information for the parents of children with SEND

Please see the following message from Vicky Ford MP for the parents of children with SEND, particularly those that have an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP).

As ever, the document is asking Parents to consider whether their child’s needs can be met at home safely. This is to keep as many children as possible at home during this time to help reduce the transmission rates of Covid 19.

Nursery Activities for Wednesday 25th March

Good morning nursery,

Please see attached today’s activities for you to use if you wish. We appreciate that some may not have access to a garden at this time so please adapt to your house. One idea could be to use a different area to your usual play space. Let’s try and make the most of this lovely weather where possible, even if it is just with your windows open.

Wednesday-25th-March Activity

Kind Regards

Wednesday 25th March – Year 1 Maths activity

Hi everyone,

For your maths lesson today, we would like you to have a look at what finding one more or one less might look like on a number line (focus on understanding which way we would jump on a number line when we are adding or taking away).  There are two number line challenges below – these could either be printed or copied onto paper.

Following this, a PurpleMash activity has been set to practise finding the answer to number sentences that add 1 or subtract 1.  There are two challenges here; finding one more or one less with numbers up to 21,  or with numbers up to 101 (you may like to start with the first one, then move to the second once your child is secure with numbers up to 21).

You may also like to have a go at this fun helicopter game – using a computer or a tablet. You must listen to the instructions, then help to save the people by finding the answers.  There are 4 levels to choose from. The game can be found at this website:

I hope you enjoy these maths games today!

We hope you are finding Miss Hammond’s videos helpful, along with the Read, Write, Inc videos we advertised yesterday.

Another fantastic help in this difficult time is provided by the website: https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/

Your child will be familiar with some of their games. They are now providing FREE games.

Year 1 Home Schooling Wednesday 25th March

A massive well done to everyone busy working at home! It has been such a joy to see some of your work on PurpleMash, on the homework blog and even directly to the new Year 1 email address. Please keep them coming :)

Here are some suggested Literacy activities for Wednesday…

A new 2Do has been set on PurpleMash. This links in to work we have been learning in  class recently. We have been learning all about suffixes (word endings). A really fun game is available to drag the word that would make most sense in the sentence.

If you would rather a paper alternative, then you could print the attached sheets or use them as a guide to create you own sentences on paper at home.

Suffixes Worksheet

Also keep practising your spellings everyday. Have fun.

Monday 23rd March in KS1 Hub 🙂

We had a great first day in the KS1 hub. We made the most of the lovely weather and went on a little walk around the school grounds. We used our senses to describe the things we could see, hear, smell and feel and challenged ourselves to write descriptions using two adjectives and a comma. When we returned, we spent some time in the sunshine and drew a picture of some of the things we had seen. We also spent some time practising our spellings and playing a 1 more or 1 less Maths game. As a special treat, at the end of the day, we got to play a board game outside.

We would love to see some of the learning and outdoor activities that you have been doing at home – you can share your work and photos on the blog 🙂
