seasons and shapes

Good morning year 1
Hope you are all well and keeping safe with your family.  It has been so lovely seeing your comments and photos of the work you have been doing at home.

Activity 1

Can you tell me what day it is today?  Then lets see if you can sing the days of the week song and write down each day.  You can time yourself and ask a parent to check your spellings.  

This is the last day of March.  What month comes next?  Can you remember the months of the year?  What month is your birthday?  

You can write for example

My birthday is in __________.     ______________  comes after March.


Can you remember how many seasons we have? What are they called?

There are __ seasons.  They are called ___________________________.

You can draw a seasons picture to put in your window.  

My favourite season is summer because I like to walk in the warm sunshine. 
What is your favourite season and why?

Hi everybody
I hope you all had a brilliant day.  Thank you all so much for your attitude towards learning and your fantastic photos and comments.  Please continue to keep in touch each day and stay safe and well.
Below is some of the photos you have sent me.

Have a good evening and keep smiling.

Sunny Monday

Good morning year one
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend with your loved ones.  The weather was nice and sunny so at least we could spend time in the garden.
Today, after you have completed the activities I will look forward to seeing a message in the comment box when you have finished or a photo uploaded through email.  I'm really missing everyone so would love to hear from you.

Today let's begin with a warm up or two.

Activity one

Today I like you to design two new outfits for Barnaby bear and his travels.  You can decide where you think he would like to go.  He needs one outfit for somewhere very cold.  He also needs one outfit for somewhere very hot.  I would like you to draw him wearing his outfits and then I would like you to label what he is wearing.  You can design something that's smart, casual or cool!


Activity two

Please remember to read your book and practice your phonic games on phonic play.

https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/member-only/Phase5Menu.htm

Here are the different spellings for the ee sounds.

ee    ea    ie    y    ey    e

Can you read and copy out the following sentences?  When you have finished, underline all the words that make the ee sound.

Like this-
The chief   jumped in the deep sea with a squeak.

Sam had a dream about magic beans that made him scream.

Can you catch the cheeky creature from the kitchen?

The sleepy puppy came to eat a meat treat by my feet.

Now can you practice to read and spell our decodable words.  You can time yourself and see how many times you can spell them correctly.  When you have finished see if you can write them in a sentence.

day         made          came     make

Activity 3

Can you sort these number problems for Barnaby bear? Make your own numberline to help you first.  See how you get on and just try your best.  It's all good practice!

Barnaby had 12 pencils.  He went to the shop and bought 6 more.  Then he found 4 more under his bed.  How many pencils did Barnaby bear have altogether?


Barnaby went to the local toy shop and bought 20 bouncy balls.  He gave 4 to his little brother and 4 to his big sister.  How many did he have left?

If Barnaby had 25 marbles and he gave 5 to his best friend and 3 to another friend, how many would he have for himself?

Barnaby had 10 Easter eggs.  His mum bought him 10 more.  then he gave 2 to his little brother.  How many did he have for himself?

Can you make up some of your own number problems?  

Let me know how you all get on.  You can leave a message to me in the comment box or send me a photo.

Have a lovely day and keep safe


Good afternoon year one
Thank you for sending me comments and photos of your lovely work today.  Well done for working so hard at home.  Continue to keep in touch and stay safe.  I have shared some of the photos below so you can see what your friends are doing.
Take care and have a restful evening.

Remember at 9am on youtube Joe Wicks does a live PE lesson for all children.

Treasure

Good morning year one
It has been so lovely to see all your efforts to complete your tasks at home.  I have enjoyed looking at your photos so much.  Please can you leave me a comment when you do a task because I'm missing being in class and speaking to you all.  You can write me a short message in the comment box.  Thank you

Activity 1

Today I thought it will be great fun to make your own treasure map in your house or your garden.  Have a look at the pirate treasure map below.



You can create your own map of your home or your garden and hide some of your items around it.  Then you can mark each piece of your hidden treasure onto your map with a pirate's cross.


Here is a map of someone's garden to show you.  You can add a compass- North, South, East and West on your map.  Ask a parent to help you with that.  Here is another example to show you below


1.  First you draw your map with lots of detail and colour it in.
2..Then you hide your chosen treasure items around your house or garden and mark them on your map with a cross.
3.  Next, explain your map to someone in your family and then they can go hunting for the treasure.
4.  Finally, you can give them clues to help them find the treasure.

Activity 2
Can you find the missing numbers?  First,  write the numbers up to 100 to help you.

11   _    13   14  15 ___  ____  18 ___  20  ____


34  ___  36  37   38   39  ____  41  42  ____

8  9  10  ___   12   13   ___  15   16   ____

71   ___   73   74   75   ____   77   78   79   80


Can you make your own missing number line?   Ask some one in your family to find the missing numbers.

Activity 3
Can you sort out my mixed up sentences? Remember a sentence has a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Have a go!  When you have finished you can draw the pirate ship and Captain Tim.  Good luck!

My  pirate  called is Tim.

hat.  The pirate large black had a

Please remember to read your books and practice our phonic games as this will help with your reading.
Hope you all have a lovely day and remember to comment on the blog.

Reflection
It has been so lovely to see you working so hard on the tasks today.  Thank you for all your photos.  I have shared some for you to look at.  Keep well and see you on Monday.  Have a great weekend with your family.

Teddy bear picnic

Good morning year 1
Activity 1
Today let's have a teddy bear's picnic with all your teddies or dolls or other soft toys.  You can first think of what would be a healthy picnic like we have talked about in school.  You could draw some different types of food, enough for all your teddies to share equally.  When you have drawn your food you can cut them out and share them with your toys..You can have some sandwiches with different fillings inside like, cheese, ham, chocolate spread, banana or chicken.  Remember to draw some glasses of your favourite drinks although remember not fizzy drinks as this is bad for your teeth!



Activity 2
Can you write the alphabet and then make an alphabet favourite food list.  Challenge yourself to think of a favourite food for every letter of the alphabet.

a     apple
b     bread
c     cake


Activity 3

Numeracy problems

Can you work out the following problems?  You can show your answers by drawing and then crossing things out if it will help you.  You can then write your answer as a number sentence.  Look at my example- 
Mrs Rowland had 8 blueberries.  She gave 5 to her son.  How many did she have left?
8 - 5 = 3

1.   Sam had 17 apples.  He gave 3 to his best friend.  How many apples did he have left?

2.   Tom started with 20 grapes.  His dad gave him 6 more.  How many grapes do Tom have now?

3.   Pete made 10 apple pies.  He gave 5 to Mrs Rowland.  How many pies are left?

4.   Ken had 24 sausages left.  He'd given 6 to his friend.  How many did Ken have when he started?

5.  Miss Hoggins made 30 strawberry tarts.  Mrs Rowland ate 10 of those tarts.  How many are left?


Can you now make up some of your own problems?  You can use the names of children in class.

Justin had 12 toy cars to play with.  He let his friend Filip play with 6 of them.  How many did Justin play with?


Remember to read a book.  Practice your phonics. You can make a list of words with the ee phoneme.  Look in your pack to choose an activity off the list you have.  Play with lego, build a town for a teddy bear.  Draw a picture of the weather.

Remember to comment.
Take care and keep safe.

Today's reflection
Thank you everyone for today' s hard work.  Glad to see you are all ok. I have enjoyed looking at all your pictures.

Rainbow

Good morning year ones
Hope you and your family are all keeping well and keeping yourselves safe.  It's another lovely sunny day which is a great opportunity to spend some time in the garden.  I spent yesterday afternoon in my garden tidying and cutting back overgrown shrubs and sweeping up leaves.

Activity 1
Today it would be nice if you paint or draw a picture of a fabulous rainbow to put in your window.  I've noticed lots of people are already doing this so if you haven't you could make one of your own.  Rainbows are there to cheer people up and make them smile.  You could make a collage rainbow if you have any pieces of coloured paper at home!




Activity 2

Counting to 100 with Captain America
Click on the link below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbGk_7xiFJ0


Also you can practice counting backwards from 100 and exercise at the same time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jMmZaFvRpE

Let's also work on our counting in 2s action rhyme

Two,four, six, eight,
Who do we appreciate?                   (Hold hands out, palms up, shrug shoulders)

Ten, twelve, and fourteen,          
We're so fast we can't be seen.                (Run on the spot)

Sixteen, eighteen, twenty, so...
Now you see how fast we go!                 (Run on the spot)

Twenty-two and twenty-four,
Tables ended.  Close the door!                (Shout this last line and clap hands loudly)

You could make up your own rhyme for counting in twos!

Activity 3

Barnaby bear is going on a train journey today!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01157ts

Draw a picture of a train and write and draw all the things that Barnaby saw from the window.  You could also draw some other things he might see on his journey.  He might see some physical features like - beach, cliff, forest, trees, hill, mountain sea, ocean, river, weather, soil and flowers.
Also draw some human features he might see like- town, house, bridge factory, farm, shop and post office.

A picture of Barnaby bear looking very happy on his travels will be great.


Also remember to practice the phonics on our earlier link.  You could watch number blocks on cbeebies and alpha blocks .  Read a book and copy the writing to make it into your own book.
look at a different activity in your pack from the bingo sheet.

Have a lovely day and be good.  Miss you all

Good morning Tuesday!

Good morning everyone, hope you and your family are looking after yourselves and keeping safe.
Today we'll start with our favourite warm-up activities which you can access on the link below.

You can think of a much better one I'm sure!

Activity 2

Go to our phonics link and practice the different ways of spelling for the ee phoneme.  You can play phoneme spotter and word sort just like we do in class.  Get yourself a piece of paper or just use your spare book inside the pack and divide it into sections like we do with our white boards.  You can then play lots of the other games on phonics play like the pirate game.  All this will help with your reading.

Here are our tricky words to practice for this week
said, so, have, like   
Can you write a sentence with those words included? 

Activity 3

Look outside your window and draw very carefully what you can see.  So, from my window I can see my washing blowing on the line, flowers in pots, moss on the ground, the garage door, ivy growing up the walls, coloured solar lights hanging up, a rose bush, a table and chairs, daffodils and I can hear birds but I can't spot them.  You can add as much detail as possible and colour.  If you want you can imagine what you would like to see outside of your window instead. For example the blue sea and a sandy beach.








Remember to look through your pack for other things for you to practice at this time.  Look at the Home Daily Schedule inside your pack to help if need be.  

Reading, puzzles, playing in the garden or helping in the garden are relaxing things to do.

Have a lovely day 

Good morning year one
Hope you had a safe weekend with your family.
Today I thought it would be nice to write our own Spring acrostic poem.  Look at my example and then make up some of your own interesting words for your poem.  You can then decorate it with some spring pictures and maybe stick it on your fridge at home. What to do: First you write the word 'spring'  downwards. Then you think of a word for each letter.  Challenge yourself and have a go, you can do it into your book from your pack and decorate. Good luck

Spring
petals
rainbows
insects
nests
