Good morning Year 1! There is lots of maths today so please don’t worry if you don’t have time for the English activities.
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
Read Commotion in the Ocean by Giles Andreae.
Ask your child to return to their favourite creature and verse. Read again joining in. You could create actions to enhance the reading too!
Using the information that you found out about yesterday, either create a new verse for the poem or compose a fact file about them, e.g. The Great White Shark
The great white shark likes to swim in water that is cool near to the coast. Some of them can be as big as a bus! They are grey and have a white belly. Their teeth are really sharp and shaped like triangles too! If writing a fact file, remember to use capital letters and full stops. Use ‘and’ and ‘but’ and include an exclamation mark, too. Encourage the use of phonics when spelling words independently.
Maths
There is going to be extra maths learning on Monday and Tuesday this week. The reason being we are having a quick review of our place value learning, within 50. If you are struggling to complete the English activities on these days, please don’t worry!
Have a wonderful day!
Miss Lane
