Good morning year 1! Yesterday I got the most wonderful email, with a photo of all of your happy, smiley faces! Thank you from the bottom of my heart; I am so proud to be your teacher and I miss you all loads! I cannot wait to see you all again. For all of the grown ups involved, your kind gesture really touched me. Thank you so much!
What are we learning today?
Note for parents: When watching the RE video please note that the disciples describe Jesus as a ‘ghost’, (at first they thought he was a ghost). I don’t want this to cause any upset, so please take time to explain what the disciples meant by this. Thank you!

Watch some videos on different types of animals or their favourite pets, e.g. Interesting facts about cats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPf0X0QclXE, Penguins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIo1giiTXCs, Gorillas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieS2DsrDh18. Then, choose an animal to write about.
Watch the chosen animal video again. Whilst watching, pause and allow your child to write down words/ phrases/ sentences about the information they have heard. Once the information has been gathered, ask your child to write an information poster on their chosen animal. They could include drawings or diagrams with labels. They could include a ‘Did you know?’ fact box. This could take the form of a question, e.g. Did you know that baby cats are called kittens? Encourage the independent use of phonics for spelling and the word ‘and’ to join phrases and parts of a sentence. Check full stops, capital letters and question marks for the ‘Did you know?’ fact box.
Maths
Today we are going to be looking at related number facts. The PDF has details of some games and activities for you to do together.
Have a brilliant day!
