29^th June to 3^rd July  Weekly update: Year 1

How are you all? It has been so long since we have seen some of you but we are always so pleased when you pop up on the Blog or you complete and share some of the tasks we have set for you to do.

Here are some ideas for you this week.  Remember you can upload photos of your work straight to Purple Mash and these will then be marked and rewarded that way -  please give it a go.

Maths

We are still highly recommending the White Rose Materials to support your child in Maths at home. We are using these to support learners in class too and will be on week 10 this week. To stretch and extend further we will attach a set of sheets linked to White Rose Maths from Third Space each week. We hope these will provide you more content for Maths at home, they will be attached to the bottom of this page or you can find previous weeks sheets here.

This week’s NRich task can be found here. It is called Coloured Triangles and is an interactive game that explores pattern and symmetry.

To support extending their problem solving skills through games and challenges please take a look at 'I see Maths' Ks1 games too.

Also encourage your child to use their Numbots login regularly for short bursts to practise their recall of number bonds and help to build their robots too. It is absolutely reasonable to type the answers in for them if they are fluently solving the questions but are not able to type them in quickly enough.

English

Phonics for Y1. There are some excellent videos for teaching phonics here. Set 2 will be revisiting the learning of sounds and spellings we already know. Set 3 is new learning and spelling with this sound and is shown at 9.30 a.m. There are also videos for reading longer words, red words and ‘Read and hold a sentence’, reading and writing practice for children reading and writing words with Set 2 sounds confidently and learning Set 3 sounds)available daily.

Year 1 will use the Oak National Academy materials Week 9 English and the focus is on St George and the Dragon. There are phonics, spellings and activities linked to the text each day. You’ll only need paper and pencil to take part for the lessons too. These lessons are best followed in sequence, starting with Lesson 1.

There is a spelling quiz and a phonics activity for you on Purple Mash.

Write a diary for your favourite days in the week. There is a diary set up in your Purple Mash 2Dos. You can draw a picture or add a photo and write at least five sentences about what you did. If you tap on the green tick at the top right hand corner, there is a writing checklist and on the left, some prompts to help you along.

Practise handwriting everyday, using cursive joins please.

There are some reading comprehensions for you here.

If your child would like to try a different variety for English please take a look at the BBC Bitesize lessons per day for English here.

Topic

Take a look at the ‘Little Book about Reptiles’ I have allocated in Active Learn – you can click ‘Read to Me’ or share it with a grown up or sibling.

Can you find out what sets Reptiles apart from other animals? Dinosaurs were reptiles, they had many special things about them that made them very successful on Earth.

Can you write an information leaflet using what you have found out in the ‘Reptiles Leaflet’ task I have allocated to you on Purple Mash? Submit your work once you have completed it for us to see and share it with your friends in class.

There’s also a quiz for you to sort the different animals into Reptiles or Not Reptiles for you to play on Purple Mash.
