Year 1 Maths Activity – Tuesday 12th May

Hi Year 1,

We have come to the end of our lesson sequence on place value and we will begin our new topic of ‘Measure’ next week. We are going to use the remaining four lessons this week to recap on addition and subtraction. The work we did on counting and place value last week will support us with this. Today, we will be focusing on understanding the relationship between addition and subtraction.

I really am missing having a go at these maths activities with you all, so today…I would like to set you a final challenge to end your lesson. In school, we often ask you to be reflective and think about your learning. I wonder if you could all think of one important thing you learn in your Maths lesson today and post it as a comment on our Year 1 Homework Blog! Just look for this picture and leave a comment below it!

 

I can’t wait to hear all about what you have learnt!

Miss McCullagh 🙂

Year 1 Maths Activity – Monday 11th May

Hi everyone,

We hope that you had a lovely weekend of celebrations in the sunshine! So many of you have been trying hard to stay active during this time. In school, we like to have movement breaks to keep our bodies awake while we are doing are learning. Here are some animal movement activities that you may like to use when you feel like your body needs a ‘wake up’.

Animal Movement Cards

For your maths lesson today… it is challenge day! ⭐ You worked really hard last week to develop your understanding of the place value of tens and ones so I know you are all up for today’s challenges!

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.

Phonics Activity Ideas

Busy Bee is extremely busy today collecting pollen in order to make us some delicious honey. So, I thought I would share some fun phonics activities that you could do at home with a little bit of help from your adult. You could;

  • Play ‘rainbow hop’. Use coloured paper, one die and a marker to create a stepping stone for every sound in the phase you are working on.
  • Play ‘sound ball’. Your adult calls out a sound and you respond with a word that contains it. Then your adult throws the ball to you and you give them a sound to think about.
  • ‘Washingline phonics’. Using pegs, paper, and a marker you could create a phonics washing line.
  • Phonics photo hunt. You could create a photo album with a picture for every sound. For example, a train for the ‘ai’ sound.
  • Spin and rhyme. Using a paper towel roll and clothes hanger your adult can write a word and see how many rhyming words you can add.
  • Mystery bag. Place objects in a bag. As your adult pulls the items out, see if you can guess the mystery sound that unites all the objects.
  • Say 2 words. Your adult says 2 words that contain the same sound and you must stand up as quickly as you can. Stay seated if they do not.
  • Monster names. Replace the first letter of your name with a phonics sound. For example, Miss Hammond could become Mad Monster Quammond! You could stomp around like a monster with your new name!
  • Smack the letter. Use a fly swatter (or equivalent) and hit sounds written on sticky notes when your adult pronounces them.
  • Phonics I Spy. Fill a large juice bottle with a variety of small items that contain various sounds, use rice or sand to fill the remaining space. Have your adult name a sound, shake the bottle, and hunt the correct item.

I hope these activities are of use to you and I would love to see any photos or comments of you attempting them. Have fun!

Busy Bee will be back tomorrow finding out about the ‘ai’ sound.

Miss Hammond.

Miss Hailey’s Stars…

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.

VE Day Junk Modelling Challenge

As it is VE Day tomorrow, you may like to take part in a JUNK MODELLING CHALLENGE that has been launched by the museum at RAF Cosford. The challenge is to build your very own aircraft, using whatever you can find around your home! In school, pupils from Nursery to Year 6 love junk modelling so I am sure many children would love to have a go at this at home – it would even be a nice project for siblings, or whole families, to work on together! 🛫🛫

The competition deadline is Thursday 14th May. To enter your aircraft, all you need to do is post a photo of your creation in the comments on the competition post, which can be found at ‘The Royal Air Force Museum, Cosford‘ Facebook page. Alternatively, you can share your photo using the tag ‘@rafmuseum‘ on Facebook.

Good Luck!! ☘
