Thursday 4th June

The weather is not as nice but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a great day!

You are so close to reaching our next IXL certificate only 639 questions to go, you’ve really pulled out all the stops this week 🙂

English 

I’d like you to spend the next two days coming up with your own set of instructions.

It is up to you what you would like to write about, but here are some ideas if you are not sure.

• How to make a sandwich
• How to wash your hands
• How to make a friendship bracelet
• How to draw a rainbow
• How to tidy your bedroom 😉

It really can be anything that interests you. You can either use pencil and paper or a 2Do has been created on PurpleMash if you would prefer to do it online.

Here is a checklist of all the things you should include.

Download (PDF, 212KB)

Now share your instructions with someone in your house. Can they follow them?

Send any pictures in. We love to see your hard work.

Maths

We’re going to continue to look at half of a quantity.

Remember the quantity is the amount or how many there are in total.

To find half you need to split the quantity into 2 equal groups. Each group then represents half.

Download (PDF, 446KB)

Phonics

Continue to revise your speedy sounds and read as often as possible. Remember OXford Owl has lots of free ebooks that are levelled.

Some cloze activities have also been set on PurpleMash to have a go at some of our trickier sounds.

 

Wednesday 3rd June

C’mon Year 1 WE CAN DO IT!!!

I hope this week has been a good one so far and you are ready for today’s challenges.

English

Instructions are written in the order in which you need to complete them. Why do you think this is? What would happen if they were in the wrong order?

Have a look at the instructions below. Can you spot the mistakes?

Download (PDF, 278KB)

Your task today is to put the instructions in the correct order. An adult could write them for you and you could cut them out and order them correctly or you could have a go at writing them yourself. Good Luck!

Maths

Today we’re going to learn about finding the half of a quantity.

As always check IXL and Mathletics fro more challenges.

Today, I would like you to start with a little well-being challenge: spend a few minutes thinking about some of your favourite memories. You could write them down, draw a picture or even tell it to someone else. Think about why it made you so happy.

 

Music and DT

Let’s get creative ! You might need to collect some bits and pieces first but have a go at creating your own castanets following the video below! Send us a picture or video of you using them!

https://vimeo.com/410105287

Tuesday 2nd June

You’ve made a great start to the week,only 3000 more questions to reach out 30,000 target on IXL. Remember to look out for ‘recommended by my teacher’ tasks on IXL.

English

We’re going to continue our work on instructions today and as the weather is beautiful, I thought we could see how to make some lovely fruit lollies.

Remember instructions use imperative verbs. Can you remember what they are? Have a look at yesterday’s tasks if you need a hint!

Firstly, read the instructions below, can you identify the imperative verbs?

Download (PDF, 285KB)

Now can you answer the following questions based on the text?

What are you making?

What do you have to do to the strawberries?

What type of spoon do you use?

How many blueberries do you add to each one?

How long do freeze them for?

How should you eat them?

Maths

Paper halving

In how many different ways can you halve an A4 sheet of paper?

You might start off with something like these two, for example:

Monday 1st June 2020

Good morning Year 1.

I hope you have enjoyed the beautiful weather we have had during our holidays. After the holidays we always enjoy circle time together when we get to find out what everyone in our class has been doing, so for today’s task I would like you to tell me two things you have done during the holidays.

Log in to Purple Mash for you task.

English:

This week we are going to look at instructional texts.

Here is an example:

Download (PDF, 283KB)

Instructional texts use imperative verbs.

A verb is a ‘doing word’ if you say it on its own it can sound bossy.

Here are some examples: put, rub, pat, run, sit

Can you find the imperative verbs in the text above?

For more practice login to IXL to have a go at identifying the verb.

Once you’ve done that why not see if you can make your own paper fish?

Maths

This week we will look at fractions.

A fraction is a part of an object. We will look at half today.

Login to IXL for more examples.

KS1 WE NEED YOU!

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week Year 1, Year 2 and ARB1 would like to create a personalised ‘Little Book of Happiness’.

We know that the past few weeks have been tough, but even though every day may not be good, there is something good in every day. It is these little moments we would like to capture so that we can share them with others and have something to act as a reminder when ‘normal’ resumes.

Can we request that you send in (either comment below or send in messenger) your child’s favourite joke or anything that has made you and your family smile. It could be as simple as hearing the birds singing, playing football in the garden or splashing in a stream, if you have a picture you could attach even better!

Can you please send your jokes, smiles and pictures by Tuesday 26^th May? We look forward to you sharing your ‘little bit of happiness’ with us.

Here’s a smile of mine. Finding trees to climb.  Miss Southern 🙂

Listen to the African story of Handa.

Who is Handa? 

Where is she going?

Online Safety

Staying safe online remains particularly important, keep it fresh in your child’s mind with the following activities.

Activity 1: Watch Jessie & Friends, Episode 2
Find the Jessie & Friends cartoons at
www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/jessie-and-friends-videos/
Watch Episode 2: Sharing Pictures with your child.
Use questions to chat about the cartoon. For example:
o How did lots of people end up seeing the pictures?
o What made Mo feel sad?
o How did the friends get help when they needed it?
o What did Miss Humphrey say she would do to help?
Finish by watching the song again and having a sing-along!
Note: If your child wants to watch Episode 1 too, do watch it with them! It’s
aimed at younger children, but it’s still fun to watch.

Activity 2: Draw a character
Ask your child to draw a picture of their favourite character singing the
funny tummy song.
Ask them to include their favourite lyrics from the song on their drawing.
We’d love to see your work! If you like, [send us an inbox on FB.

Wednesday 29th April

Good morning Year 1. It’s not sunny outside at the moment but that doesn’t mean you have to have a dull day.

Today is World Wish Day. We can’t do much at the moment but in the near future we will be able to go out again and do all of the things we love so now is the time to make some plans. Why not create a wish jar?

You will need:

A jar          pieces of paper              a pen or pencil

Just write down your wishes and put them in the jar then when we are allowed we can pick out our wishes and go and make them come true.

Some things on my wish list are:

• To give my friends and family the biggest hugs
• Take my son to the park
• Go out for a meal at my favourite restaurant
• Walk around my favourite shops and buy things for my new baby’s arrival
• Get my hair cut
• Walk on the beach with my dog

What would be on your list?

Today’s jobs:

English: complete two tasks on IXL

Maths: Complete two tasks on IXL and one on Mathletics

Phonics: Play some games phonicsplay.com

Have a wonderful day everyone! We miss you all very much!

Monday 20th April

Hi everyone, I hope you’ve had a super Easter and had lots of fun with your families. I’ve eaten way too much chocolate but have been enjoying some lovely walks in the sunshine and playing in the garden with my little boy. Did you complete any of the Easter challenges? We’d love to see your pictures if you did! Just ask an adult to send a message with your image to the Facebook inbox.

Anyway, back to work this week. There are lots of tasks set but remember they don’t all need to be done at once, aim to do three days per week and enjoy as much time as you can with your family.

IXL Maths

Tasks will be assigned when you login.

This week the focus is on addition, subtraction and position.

Mathletics

This week you have some revision questions on grouping and properties of shapes.

IXL English

Tasks will be assigned when you login.

Tasks will focus on sight words, blending and segmenting and nouns.

Reading

Try and do as much reading as possible. This could be story books, comics, recipes, newspapers or instructions for games. It all counts!

Remember, if you are running out of books you could sign up to this website for free to access hundreds of books:

Oxford Owl

Phonics

Try and practise your sounds as often as possible to check your speed sounds are still speedy. Follow the links below to find an online book with all of the speed sounds in. Start with Set 1 and read the sounds out loud as you turn the pages. After you have read the sound, try to fred-talk and read the words containing that sound on the next page. Fred in your head if you are confident. If you are unsure of a sound, ask you grown up to read the rhyme and help you remember the sound.

Set 1 Sounds                  Set 2 Sounds                   Set 3 Sounds

As soon as you are tricked by a sound, go back and practise the sounds you already know until they are super speedy and then practise the next tricky sound with your grown up.

You will also find some tasks on Purple mash.com to help using your sounds in words.

There are also the following websites for you to use:
