Year 1
Year 1 have now come to the end of Phase 5, it is still worth recapping the flash cards at the start of each lesson but there are no new phonemes to be learnt.
This week we will be focusing on reading and spelling words with adjacent consonants e.g. trap, milk.
Watch Mr Thorne does phonics and then have a go at Picnic on Pluto by selecting phase 4- Revise all phase 4.
Literacy
Friday the 8th May is a Bank Holiday in celebration of VE Day. This week’s tasks will be all about VE day and we are starting the week by creating a fact file.
Monday and Tuesday’s literacy tasks will be to create your own fact file. Your fact file can be about anything to do with VE day or World War 2 but I have included some suggestions to get you started:
What is VE Day?
When was World War 2?
What is Rationing?
Who was Winston Churchill?
The different planes that were used.
How did people celebrate VE day?
Maths
Reception
We are beginning to look more closely at numbers to 20 this week.
Begin by watching numberblocks .
For today’s activity we will be matching number to quantity to 20.
You will need the numbers 11-20 written on separate pieces of paper and 11- 20 items drawn on separate pieces of paper- to help your child see the way teen numbers are formed (e.g 12 is made up of 1 ten and 2 ones) draw them on a tens frame like this:
This is a great opportunity to work on subitising- encourage your child to see that the full tens frame is 10 and to add on from there rather than counting from 1 each time.
Play the game like pairs by turning all of your pieces of paper upside down and taking it in turns to find a match.
Year 1
Here is the White Rose activity sheet for you to use today.

Challenge
For today’s challenge I have attached a guided reading all about VE Day. There are three levels attached indicated by a star at the bottom of the page, 1 star is the easiest and 3 stars the hardest. There is also a comprehension question sheet to go with each level. This is aimed at Year 1 however reception children are more than welcome to give it a go- they may need more support though!
