Good Morning. Today is your final day of transition activities before Miss Lane takes over once again for your final week of learning as a Year 1.
As promised, here is a little video of me answering a few of your questions about Year 2. Thank you to my little Year 1 bubble for asking the questions so brilliantly!
Here are Friday’s daily activities:
Targets for next year
Below I have attached a hot air balloon template that I would like you to colour in colourfully and neatly so that it can be used on display in your new Year 2 classroom. If you are unable to print the template, feel free to draw your own. On the cloud in the middle, I would like to to write a target that you would like to achieve next year. That might be to improve your handwriting, know your number facts to 20 or to participate more in classroom discussions. It’s your target so make sure that you make it achievable for you! Once complete, take a photograph and send it to me via email. We will then look at these at the end of your time in Year 2 to see what ‘Keep Improving Isabella Insects’ you have been!
What can I do over the summer holidays to get ready for Year 2?
Your final activity of the week is to look at the list below and decide what you still need to work on in order to be ready for Year 2 in September.
Reading
I’m sure you will recognise the word lists attached below. Which set did you get up to? Which words do you still need to practise?
If you can read all of the words, can you spell them?
Usually, during the summer holidays, lots of you complete the library reading challenge. As everything is a little different this year, they are running the challenge online. Click the link below to sign up for the challenge (you will need a grown up’s email address).
To help with your choosing of books, I have attached a list of books that are great for Year 1 children. I know that you are very soon to be Year 2, but I thought it would be nice to see how many you have read already and if you could challenge yourself to read them all before September! Some you have already read in school!
Happy Reading!
Cursive Handwriting
Use the sheet below to ensure that you are forming your cursive letters correctly. If you can form them correctly, have a go at joining them together.
Recognising numbers
Access the number square below. Can you recognise all of the numbers to 100? Can you say how many tens and how many ones for each number? Can you say 1 less or 1 more than a given number? Can you say 10 more or 10 less than a given number?
Can you spell numbers 1 - 20 correctly? Ask an adult to help you.
Extra Activities
Which Year 1 IXL sections do you need to complete before Year 2? Have a look and see if you can complete them all!
Purple Mash - Play challenge 1 of the ‘bond bubbles’ game I have set as a 2DO for you on Purple Mash.
Keep reading for at least 30 minutes a day. Maybe you could send me the name of your favourite book or author!
I have LOVED getting to know you this week Year 1 and I CAN’T WAIT to teach you next year!
