Year 1- Today we will be revisiting shape. I have attached a work booklet for year 1 to go through to consolidate their previously learnt knowledge.

Reception- Today we are recording numbers to 5. You could further extend the activity by recording the results as a number sentence e.g. 5-2=3 so start with the number of bean bags, take away the number that land outside of the circle and then you are left with how many are in the circle. Here is the White Rose video link– you are looking for session 3. The activity is below:

We are continuing with our Jolly Postman book today by beginning to story map. Over the next couple of weeks we will create a full story map outlining the postman’s journey and the various characters he meets along the way.

If you have the book we are only reading up to the end of the three bears address on page 2.

I have uploaded a video of myself introducing today’s activity and reading the first part of the story:

For today’s activity we are going to be creating a map of the postman’s journey to get to the three bears cottage. Children should think about what a map is, why we use them and why the postman might need one. The children should use the image from yesterday and the story so far to identify clues to help them create their map. Year 1 children can then write a set of instructions to help guide the postman. Reception may find this a little tricky and so they can say out loud what their instructions are for an adult to scribe onto the map. This will encourage the use of positional language and of the importance to be clear with our instructions.

If you have maps available you could begin by looking at what features are shown on a map. You could also use google maps and locate your house/school/famous landmarks.

I have also attached a White Rose work booklet to consolidate learning on both addition and subtraction. This is not compulsory but may be useful as another activity if you have completed everything else.

This week we are looking at ‘The Jolly Postman’. I have uploaded a video to introduce our book and to ask children a few questions. You may need to pause the video at certain points to allow time for a discussions or for Year 1 children to record predictions.

Firstly I would like you to discuss what might be in the parcel, what an address is and why we need a postage stamp. We will then look at the contents of the parcel, were children’s predictions right? What might those stories have been included?

Once we look at the first image I would like you to think about, who is the Jolly Postman? What is he like? What does he do at work? How do you know? Who might he have post for? What might it be? Can children use clues from the image or from our parcel to help them?

When we look at the next image I would like you to think about, what does the Jolly Postman do when he is not working? What does he do to relax?

Finally I would like you to draw and label where the Jolly Postman has come from and where he is going to.

I have uploaded the letter, images and video below for you.

Geography

This term we are looking at human and physical geography. To get us started look at this BBC bitesize lesson on human and physical features. Afterwards why not have a go at describing your local area in terms of its human and physical features. You could draw and label a map to show me the key features.
