Good morning Year 1!
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.

Read Bright Stanley by Matt Buckingham up until he sees a bright light (1:27 mins).
Ask your child, What might it be? Discuss predictions.
Continue to read up to 2:04 mins to find out. Ask your child, How do you think Stanley is feeling because he can’t find his friends? How is the lobster feeling? How do you know? (Encourage your child to use clues in the text, e.g. I think the lobster is feeling grumpy because the text says he growled, snip-snapping his claws and then grumbled).
Record in writing, e.g. I think Stanley is feeling … because … I think the lobster is feeling … because ...
Continue to read on and then stop the story at … he didn’t notice a dark shape coming up behind him (2:52 mins). Ask your child: What do you think it is?
Continue on to find out (up until 3:10 mins) then pause again. Discuss how he might be feeling now. Recap orally what has happened so far with an adult.
Write a diary entry as if you were Stanley in full sentences all about his day so far. This will be written in first person using the word ‘I’ and try to include the word ‘but’. A diary might also include some thoughts and feelings, e.g. One morning I woke up rather late! I looked out for my friends but the reef was very quiet. I then remembered that we were supposed to be swimming to the cool water for the summer. I rushed to the meeting point but there was no one there. I felt so miserable.
Read to the end of the story to find out what happens.

Have a wonderful day!
