Revise all of your phase 3 flash cards and then keep working through the digraphs and trigraphs focusing on the ones that your child finds tricky to remember. Link to Mr Thorne does phonics.

Give your child two pieces of paper and ask them to write yes on one and no on the other. Then give them these yes/no question one at a time, they have to hold up either the yes card or the no card depending on what they think the answer is. This is helping with their segmenting and blending skills as well as their comprehension of what they are reading.

Revise all of your phase 5 flash cards and then keep working through the sounds that your child finds tricky to remember. Link to Mr Thorne does phonics.

For today’s activity we are looking at adding the suffixes ing, er, est, y and ed to words ending in ‘e’.

Tell your child that all of these words end in e and that the word needs to be changed before we can add the suffix. Tell them the word and ask them to write it down, then tell them what we are changing the word into e.g like to liked. Can they think of how we can change the word? If not, show them an example and then see if they can pick up the pattern:

like (ed)

ride (er)

tame (est)

bone (y)

bake (ing)

hike (ing)

Literacy

This week we are going to be using the book ‘The Selfish Crocodile’.

If you haven’t got the book at home you could use the powerpoint of the story below or watch this video of the story being read.

The-Selfish-Crocodile-story

Use these questions to develop your child’s comprehension of the story.

You could cut them out and put them into a bag before asking your child to choose one. Year 1 children can read the sentences themselves before having a go at answering them, they could record their answers in full sentences.

Reception children could pull a question out of a bag but will need the questions reading to them. They can then verbally give you their answers as this will develop their communication and language skills.

This week we will be following the White Rose materials for Reception.

This week’s activities are based on the story ‘Zog’, although you don’t need the story to complete the activities I have attached links to a video of the story being read and to the animated story on the BBC.

Below are the activities for today and here is the link for the support video.

This week we are looking at time. We will begin by looking at before and after.

Discuss the definition of the words: before, after, first, next, then.

You could then have a look at the presentation for this week- lesson 1 (but you don’t have to).

Year-1-PRESENTATION-Measurement-Time-Week-10

For our activity today we are going to look at activities that we do before, during and after school. Ask your child to think of at least 3 things for each group, they could draw a picture or write a sentence to represent their ideas.

Challenge

Our challenge today is Science based. We are going to be looking at how bees help us and what we can do to help the bees.

Start by looking at a flower and pointing out the pollen, explain that bee’s collect the pollen and take it to other plants. There is an experiment that you may want to try to show how they do this but this is an optional extra!

To begin today’s lesson use the coin game by selecting ordering coins- any 6 coins.

For today’s activity use the flash cards to compare the values of coins and notes. Use the inequality signs on page 5 to compare them.

Year 1 – FLASH CARDS – Coins and notes

You could then set up a shop and ask your child to label each of the items with different values. Can they select the correct coins to pay for an item? Can they check if you have given them the correct coins to pay for an item? To add a further challenge you can give them the wrong amount and see if they can work out how to make the correct amount. You could also buy two objects and see if they can work out the total amount for both items.

Today’s activity is about comparing amounts.

Practical – Comparing amounts

Children will select two money cards. They will identify the total amount on each card then compare the amounts.

★☆☆ – Children will select two coin cards and complete the stem sentences using more / less than to compare the amounts.

★★☆ –  Children will select two coin cards and complete the stem sentences to compare the amounts using inequality signs.

★★★ – Children will select two coin cards and write sentences to compare the amounts using inequality signs.

To further extend this activity children could have a go at selecting multiple cards and ordering them from lowest to highest.

We are continuing with our topic learning on journeys today.

Have a look at a world map and discuss the different continents, pointing to each one. Tell children that there are different countries within each continent and then see if your child can name the four countries that make up the UK- can they find them on a map? Discuss the different countries that your child, yourself or other family members have visited and identify them on a map. How did you get to that country? Can children discuss the best ways to get to a given country? Can they think about why certain ways of travelling would be better?

This week we are looking at fairy tales.

For today’s activity I would like children to come up with an alternative ending for Little Red Riding Hood. Read the story together but stop when Little Red Riding Hood works out that the wolf is in her Grandmother’s bed.

They can either write down their ending or act it out using toys/puppets.

Year 1

This week we are going to be writing our own story based on a fairy tale. We are going to build up to writing our story throughout the week so that children have a chance to develop their ideas. Read different fairy tales together and discuss who the characters are, where the stories are set and the main plot.

For today’s activity I would like you to think about what is going to happen in the beginning, middle and end of your story. You don’t need to write the story just some ideas of what you are going to include.

We are continuing with capacity today. Today we are going to be estimating how many spoonfuls/cupfuls we think it will take to fill different containers. Depending on the containers you have you may want to use cups instead of spoons.

Record your findings in a table to show what the container is, how many spoons/cups you estimate and then the actual number of spoons/cups.

You could extend the learning by talking about halves e.g If it takes 10 cups to fill the saucepan how many will it take to fill it half full?

Year 1

We are looking at counting coins today. Start by putting a selection 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p in front of your child. Ask them to select a few different coins and find the total amount. Can children use their knowledge of counting in multiples of 2s, 5s and 10s to help them?

Then have a look at the powerpoint for lesson 2 looking at different notes.

Today’s activity is all abut recognising notes, again the sheets are graded based on level of difficulty:

★☆☆ –  (Page 1 & 2) –  Children will identify the value of notes and calculate how many £5 notes make £10/£20 and how many £10 notes make £20. Children may count in 1s to help them do this.

★★☆ –  (Page 1 & 2) ) – Children will identify the value of notes and calculate how many £5 notes make £10/£20 and how many £10 notes make £20.

★★★ –  (Page 1 – 3) –  Children will identify the value of notes and calculate how many £5 notes make £10/£20 and how many £10 notes make £20. Children will progress to selecting which notes would make a given amount.

You can extend this by talking about capital letters and full stops or by adding more detail to your description e.g A blue coat with 4 gold buttons.

Then ask your child to record their sentence. The spelling does not have to be correct but should be phonetically decodable based on the sounds that your child knows e.g A blue coat with gold buttons could be written as A bloo coat with gold butns.

This week we are looking at capacity. Children should explore through play filling different containers and describing them by saying whether they are full, empty, half full, nearly full or nearly empty. They also be encouraged to use language to describe their containers such as tall, thin, narrow, wide, shallow.

Provide your child with a container and ask them to fill it to the different levels (full, half full etc). Can they find a container that holds more/ less than their container? Let your child explore filling containers of different sizes with water, sand, rice or cereal.
