Wednesday 1st April – Year 1 Maths Activity

Hi Year 1,

It was really lovely to see that so many of you enjoyed exploring the number bonds to 20 yesterday. Today, you are going to play a couple of games to carry on practising – and hopefully get a little quicker.

Please keep the number cards that you use in today’s activity, as we will need them again tomorrow.

Year 1 Home Learning Wednesday 1st April 2020

For phonics today we thought it would be nice for you to play a 4-in-a-row style game using the year 1 ‘ed suffix’ words from this week. Attached is a game sheet we have created for you but if you can’t print, you could make your own by drawing a quick grid and writing the words in it and if you don’t have counters, use a coloured dot instead.

For Literacy, following on in our Easter theme we have set a PurpleMash 2do to write about why Easter is celebrated. You can add images to decorate it. There are headings on the page to help give you ideas about what you might write about. Try to include capital letters and full stops.

We have loved seeing your colourful egg designs too.

Year 1 Home Learning Tuesday 31st March 2020

Thank you for the continued support at home. We are enjoying seeing what you have been up to. You have been working your socks off!

Some suggestions for Tuesday’s Year 1 Literacy focus.

For phonics, check out Miss Hammond’s daily video to practise the flashcards together. Repetition is key! Also, continue to practise your weekly spellings. Can you put these spellings into a super sentence?

As we approach the Easter holidays, in school we normally start to learn about who celebrates Easter and why it is celebrated. Share this PowerPoint attached with your child. Can they write three facts they remember from the information? This could be handwritten or typed.

Why do we celebrate Easter PPT

As a fun task, your child could either colour the stained glass window sheet attached. If you don’t have access to a printer your child could design their own stained glass window instead. Get creative as you like! Cut round them, colour them, collage them. We can’t wait to see the results.

Finally, just for fun a 2do is set on PurpleMash to design an Easter Egg.

Year 1 Guided Reading 📚

Last week, we set you a guided reading activity based on a story called ‘A Monster Surprise’, and we loved seeing your creative work and hearing that so many of you had enjoyed this story. We would like to share another story with you today. This one is called ‘The Making of Milton’. You can listen to the story being read at this link:

(also included on the PDF of activities below)

We have included here some questions to discuss and some fun activities that you may like to have a go at, at home. Some of these activities may take a little bit more time so please don’t feel like they all must be completed today – you may like to spread them out over the week. We can’t wait to see your creative projects this week! 😃

We hope you had a lovely weekend!

Here are your Phonics and Literacy activities for today.

Attached is a sheet to practise adding the ‘ed’ suffix to the end of a word to make it past tense. You can either print and complete or this is a nice one to simply copy out onto paper. This links to Miss Hailey and Miss McCullagh’s spellings this week. However, this word ending is also an end of Y1 objective so will be perfect for all groups to have a try at.

Activity Sheet Adding -ed

For Literacy, we wanted to have a big focus on handwriting as for many children this has been a target in class. In year 1 we are working hard on our ‘whooshing up’ for our cursive handwriting and beginning to join our letters together. Attached is a powerpoint you may find useful. It shows how to form each letter. Once in slide show mode, click on the letter you want to practise, press on the pencil and he will show you how to form that letter.

Cursive-Letter-Formation-Powerpoint-with-Rhymes

Perhaps you can copy a row of each letter from the alphabet? You also had handwriting sheets in your pack.

It would be lovely if you could pick your very favourite poem, nursery rhyme, song or even story and copy it out in your very best cursive handwriting! We cannot wait to see these either posted on the blog or via the year 1 email account: newdale.year1team@taw.org.uk

Have a lovely day.

Well done on completing your first week of home learning ⭐

As we are entering Friday afternoon, we just wanted to say a big well done on completing your first week of home learning (to parents and children!). This week, we have all had a totally new experience and everybody has had challenges to overcome, but we are so impressed with the effort and hard work that has gone into home learning. We have loved all the pictures and work that you have sent us  – it really looks like the children are enjoying their learning at home!

We thought it might be nice to send out a little reflection to end the week, so that you can think about 5 important things that you have accomplished or enjoyed in your first week of home learning (this could be for the children – or for the adults). This doesn’t necessarily need to be written down, we just thought it might be a nice activity to talk about – or even just to think about!

You may also know, that on a Friday afternoon in school we choose our Star of the Week. This week, we thought all pupils who have been working hard at home may deserve their special certificate so maybe you can decide together what you are most proud of this week. It could be working hard at PE, creating a lovely drawing or painting, perhaps a piece of writing that you are really proud of or maybe you have been working really hard on your Maths activities this week. Whatever is is, we would love to see your certificates and reasons on the blog or email.

Thank you for all of your hard work,

Year 1 Team ⭐
