Good morning Year 1!
What are we learning today?
Phonics
Today I would like you to do the lesson Read Longer Words, by following the link to the YouTube channel above.
Use the links below to continue practising your speedy words and for those who are whizzing through them, can you spell them? Go on, have a go!
Reading
Remember to read everyday, just like we do at school. I would love you to read for at least 20 minutes each day, be that a physical book or an ebook on Epic/Accelerated Reader. If your book has an option to quiz on AR or Epic, please remember to do so.
English
Check if the postman/lady has been to your house today or yesterday. What did they bring? A parcel, letter, birthday card, bill, flyer, etc.
Talk about if you were to write a birthday card or letter to someone. What would you do to make sure it gets to them? What would we need to know?
Consider writing a note, card or letter to another family member. This could be for a specific purpose or just a note to say that you are thinking of them at this time, with a brief explanation of what you have been up to at home. Look at the front of a piece of mail that has arrived recently at your house. What does it have on the front to make sure it gets posted through your door? I.e. the correct name and address.
Once your note has been written, find out the full name and address of the person you wish to send it to. Write on an envelope the correct name and address in full. Ensure you spell Mr, Mrs or Miss correctly with a capital letter and that the format of the address follows lines underneath each other. Check for capital letters for names, the street name, town/city and county. Don’t forget the postcode too!
Watch Journey of a Letter. Talk about what you have just seen. What else do you need to make sure your note/card/letter gets to the recipient? (A stamp). Where do you put the stamp? Have a look at your mail to find out. If a stamp can be purchased, consider walking to the nearest post box to post your note/card/letter. Wait to find out if your friend or relative receives it!
Maths
Missing you all lots!
