Revise all of the flashcards and then use the assessment from Monday to determine which sound you are going to focus on today.

You can then either go back and re-watch one of the online Letters and Sounds videos or use Mr Thorne does phonics.

Choose three words that contain the focus sound and say them one at a time to your child, get them to segment the word and record each sound. Go through the word together to check they got it right.

Year 1- Have a go at the Tell a T-Rex silly questions.

Reception- Have a go at Pick a Picture.

Today’s activity is a little more challenging. You will need a ruler to  measure the chocolate bars on the attached sheet. There are 3 options available in the pack but I would recommend using either the 1 or 2 star sheet as these both work in cm. The 2 star sheet provides an additional challenge where children have to measure the width as well as the length.

Today we are consolidating our knowledge from this week.

To begin with have a go at Fruit Splat. children have to identify the numbers and then select symbol to show more than, less than or equal to.

For today’s activity children will need to identify the number shown in base ten equipment, write the number and then identify how many tens and ones there are.

Year 1 – ACTIVITY- Make and partition

Then have a go at filling in the missing numbers on the grid below. There are 3 levels to this activity so select the most appropriate for your child. They may need help initially to understand the pattern.

Reception

Use playdough to make snakes of different lengths and widths. As they are playing ask them, can you make a long snake? Can you make a short snake? Can you make a thin snake? Can you make a thick snake? Can they measure their snakes using blocks? If your child can confidently measure with blocks try introducing a ruler, explain that we measure in centimetres and model measuring one of the snakes. Make sure you tell them how long the snake is e.g. my snake is 10cm long. You could then further challenge them by asking them to make a snake to fit a specified length, e.g. can you make me a snake that is 5cm long?

Year 1

Today we are continuing to look at comparing numbers.

To begin with have a go at this Place Value Chart game in topmarks. Begin with tens and ones in number form but you can have a go at words later if your child is confident.

You can go through day 4 of the presentation but again this is optional and the activity will still work without doing this.

Revise all of the flashcards and then use the assessment from yesterday to determine which sound you are going to focus on today.

You can then either go back and re-watch one of the online Letters and Sounds videos or use Mr Thorne does phonics.

It is important that your child uses their phonics knowledge in their writing. Choose three words that contain the focus sound and say them one at a time to your child, get them to segment the word and record each sound. Go through the word together to check they got it right. If they are struggling to hear all of the sounds help them to segment the word by saying each sound, e.g. tray, t-r-ay. Ask them to identify what two letters make the ay sound.

Year 1- have a go at the Pond Life Plurals game.

Today we are going to use our footprints to measure and compare items. You could draw around your child’s foot onto a piece of paper or use paint to create the footprint. Cut it out so that they can more accurately measure length and width. Can they find things that are longer, shorter and the same size as their foot print? Can they find items that are wider or narrower than their footprint? You could have footprints of the whole family and see if your child can order them in different ways using the mathematical vocabulary to compare them.

I have attached a further optional challenge from the Year 1 White Rose materials if your child is confident. Use the video link for lesson 2.

Year 1

Today we are looking at partitioning numbers to 100.

Begin by using the base ten blocks online resource to build a number between 10 and 100. The sticks represent a 10 and the small squares a 1. The large grid represents 100 but I would use ten sticks to encourage your child to count in tens. Once you have built your number ask your child to write down what the number is. You could then swap over and tell them a number and ask them to build it using the online resource.

Again I have uploaded the presentation that gives some examples to work through for day 2 however this is optional and the activity will still work without using this first.

Year-1-PRESENTATION-Place-Value-within-100-Week-7 (1)

For the main activity you will need the Practical – Partitioning numbers sheet. You could draw them onto paper or use a whiteboard to complete instead.
Children will partition numbers and represent them using Base 10 or place value counters on the place value grid (you could use straws, sticks, coloured paper or ask your child to draw a line to represent the tens and a dot to represent the ones). Give your child a number, you could use the number cards provided or use your own. Ask them to build the number on the place value grid, then describe the partition in their books as e.g. 67 = 0 hundred, 6 tens and 7 ones. There are three levels to the task:

★☆☆ :  Number cards will contain numeric values only.
Children will write their answers in numeric form only.

★★☆ : Number cards will contain both numeric and written values.
Children will write their answers in numeric and written form.

★★★ : Number cards will contain both numeric and written values.
Children will write their answers in numeric and written form.
They may progress to the extension task working backwards using the partitioned form to identify the number.

Challenge

Look at the work of the abstract artist Piet Mondrian, using the Tate Kids website. What colours, lines and shapes did he use to create his paintings? Create a Mondrian inspired artwork as a collage using paper or recycled materials, or as a painting or drawing using black lines and primary colours.

Welcome back Green Class! I am looking forward to seeing many of you in School this week and for those of you who are continuing with home learning please do continue to email me with any queries. If you would prefer to speak over the phone I will be available from Monday after 2.30pm.

Phonics

At this time of year we would be focusing on embedding the children’s understanding of the phonemes and graphemes within the phases they have covered along with their ability to recognise them in written words.

For today’s phonics lesson I have attached an assessment document that will identify the areas of phonics that your child needs to focus on. This could be recognising a particular grapheme or being able to use their phonics knowledge for reading and spelling.

I will continue to post links to videos or games that I think will be useful, however, these will be generic for the class and I will be more than happy to provide further, more specific guidance for you via email.

This week we are looking at length, height and distance. Children have already explored height by comparing two objects and saying which is bigger but we are now looking to develop their use of more specific mathematical vocabulary:

Length- longer/shorter

Height- taller/shorter

Breadth- wider/narrower

Distance- further/nearer

Opportunities for comparing length and height will arise naturally through play so for today’s activity follow your child’s interests and encourage the use of mathematically vocabulary by using it yourself when talking/playing with them. Here are a few examples to get you started:

When on a walk or exploring the garden point to a tree or flower and comment on the height of it, ask your child if they can find a taller/shorter tree or flower.

When playing with building blocks see if they can measure items around the house, get them to count how many bricks tall their item was and compare it to another item. You could also introduce breadth using building equipment by asking them to make a wider/narrower house.

Can they draw the members of their family, who is tallest? who is shortest?

If your child is confident with the mathematical language you could have a look at the White Rose challenges for Year 1. You can use the video link for lesson 1 and complete the worksheet.

Year 1

This week we are looking at place value within 100. We will begin by counting to 100 and looking at easier ways of counting higher numbers by counting in multiples.

Start by having a go at this BBC Supermovers song about counting.

We have already looked at numbers to 50 together and children should be able to build and describe numbers by looking at the tens and ones. When looking at numbers to 100 it is important that children understand the importance of the place value columns, for example, they should be able to describe the difference between 67 and 76 in terms of tens and ones.

I have attached a presentation for this week that is broken down into each day. You don’t have to use it but it may help to go through some of the examples together first before having a go at the worksheet. There are three levels of worksheet for you to choose from, the difficulty level is indicated at the top of the page with either 1, 2 or 3 stars. There are also some optional challenge cards for you to have a go at.
