Good morning Year 1!
Phonics
Today I would like you to do the lesson Read and Hold a Sentence (2), 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 again, Whatever next, by Jill Murphy.
Imagine that you are Baby Bear and you want to tell someone about your day. Go through your zigzag book of the story and think about how Baby Bear would be feeling and what he might be thinking at each part of the journey, e.g. He would be feeling disappointed that his mum wouldn’t let him go to the moon, or he would be excited as he took off up the chimney. Orally say what his thoughts and feelings would be as you go through your zigzag story book.
Write a diary entry now as if you are Baby Bear and you have just come back from your day on the moon. Remember to include the thoughts and feelings throughout and use the word ‘I’ as if you are writing as Baby Bear. E.g. Last night my mum asked me to have a bath but I wanted to go to the moon. I was disappointed that she wouldn’t let me go. I made a rocket from a box under the stairs, put on my space helmet and books and flew up the chimney. I felt so excited to start my trip …
Check for capital letters for the start of sentences and for the word ‘I.’ Try to use phonics for the spelling of new words and re- read your sentences each time to check they make sense. Can you include the word ‘and’ and ‘but’, and maybe an exclamation mark to show some excitement or surprise!
Maths
Today you are going to be practising identifying one more and one less than a number, within 100.
Have a brilliant day!
