Good morning everyone! I hope your first week of home learning has gone well. Well done for all your hard work (you too parents!) I hope you have had lots of fun learning with your mummies and daddies. Did anyone take part in the cheer for the NHS last night? I did it on my |street and it was amazing! So lovely to hear everyone cheering and clapping. These will be your final tasks for the week, don't worry I won't be setting you any on Saturday and Sunday. Parents, please could you start saving any cardboard boxes, plastic tubs etc for your child to make a pirate ship during one of their tasks next week. Thank you.
Todays tasks:
Literacy
Write a recount about your first week of home learning and draw a picture. You can write about the tasks you have done or you can write about the other activities that you have done with your family. Let me know what you have been up to during your time at home.
Remember, a recount needs to be in the correct order, you need to use time words and at the end of your recount you need to say what you have enjoyed.
Remember to use capital letters, full stops and use your phonics. Parents please allow your child to sound out and spell the word, it doesn't matter if it is spelt wrong if it is phonetically correct. They can also use the Year 1 key words that are in their pack to help them.
Here are some time words you could use.
first, second, then, next, after that, after, finally
You could also use the days of the week to tell me what you did on each day.
I can't wait to read what you have been up to.
Phonics - phonics play - phase 4 - dragons den - revise all phase 4.
phonics play - phase 4 - make a match.
Maths
Please click on the link below for sum connect 4. Look for the KS1 video at the bottom. This will explain the game. You can then either download and print the game cards or you can draw a grid in your blue book and copy the numbers. Have fun!
I have also attached an activity for you to do. If parents can print it great! If not then you can verbally say the answers to your parents.
Other activities
Have a teddy bears picnic with your teddys outside - read your favourite book to them.
Do something kind for someone in your house.
Art - last week we drew a picture of a pirate and to make it easier we did this step by step. I have put some step by step drawings below for you to have a go at in your blue book.
It has been very strange this week not seeing you and I have missed you all. Can you do something for me? Give your mummies and daddies a big hug today and say thank you for helping you with your leaning this week.
Have a lovely weekend
Speak to you on Monday
Love

Good morning Year 1! I hope you got to enjoy the sunshine this weekend and had lots of cuddles with your Mummy yesterday.
Every morning I will put some tasks on here for you to do throughout the day. For some of the tasks you may need some help from an adult and some you can do independently. Just try your best and if Mummy's and Daddy's are working, see if there is an activity you can do by yourself. Don't forget, with some of the activities, you might have to become the teacher!
Literacy
Please complete the spelling test for last weeks spellings, in the back of your yellow spellings book.
I would then like you to practise your new spellings in your blue book. Can you put 5 of your new spellings into a sentence? Remember, capital letters and full stops.
