You have made it to the end of another week of learning from home. Do you find you are getting into the swing of things more now? 
How does home learning make you feel? 
Let me know how you are finding everything today when you send over your work: 
[email protected]  

Here are your activities for today:

Phonics: 
Phase 5, 'i'. This is another letter than can make two sounds. Today we will find out that the letter 'i' can make a short sound like in 'sip', but also a longer sound in words such as 'find'. 
In school, when you see this sound, we would say 'i, i, find the child'. 
Watch and join in with the lesson here: 

English: To sequence and plan my own story.
Today I would like you to look back at your work from this week, specifically your plans. 
Can you tell your own story from the plan you have created? Practise telling your story using your plan. 
Is there anything you would like to edit or add to it?
 
Use today’s time to do this.
Next week we are going to use our plan to write our very own story!


Maths: To represent numbers to 50.
Here is your next maths lesson. Watch and join in with the lesson found here:

See you tomorrow,

We are half way through another week of learning from home! Give yourself a HUGE pat on the back! This week is mental health week and I would like you to take some time this week to think about how you are feeling. Remember, there is no right answer to this and you are allowed to feel however you do. Lots of people at the moment feel a little bit upset because they cannot see their friends, others are finding it difficult to motivate themselves to do their home learning. How do you feel? 

I would also encourage you to think about what makes you happy and try to do it every day. Everyday I try and dance around my kitchen; I turn up my music and dance like nobody is watching for a good 10 minutes and it makes me feel silly and happy! Give it a go and let me know how you get on - can you get all those you live with joining in? 

Here are your learning activities to complete today, don't forget to send your work to me!! 
[email protected] 

Phonics: 
Phase 5, lesson 40. This is a review lesson. You will practise all the sounds you have learnt, if you think you need more practise with any of the sounds go to the Phonics Play website and get some extra practise in. 
www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources

English: To sequence and plan my own story.  
Below you will find my boxing up of 'Where the Wild things Are.' Boxing up is a way you can sequence and plan a story. Have a look at them image and then watch the video. 

Today you are going to start thinking about how you are going to sequence your own ideas into this template to plan your story. 
We are going to focus on the first 4 boxes today and finish it off tomorrow. 
Here is a video and a picture of mine to help you! 
My main character is me, and I'm wearing a pig suit - use your ideas from yesterday. 
I am at home causing mischief, just like Max was. 
I then go to where the unicorns are because I was sent to bed without eating anything. 

Now it's your turn!
Try to draw all the details you wish to include in your story so you do not forget to pop them in when the time comes. ​

Maths: To count forwards and backwards within 50.
Watch and join in with the lesson found here: 
whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/spring-week-5-number-place-value-within-50/ 
​Complete the questions when you are instructed to. Remember, if there is a tower of cubes this represents 10.
Have fun!!

Geography: To know that maps show features and places. 
Here is a map of a park. Can you spot all the different features? ​

Have a look at this treasure map. Can you see the journey you would need to be go on to get to the treasure? 

Today, I would like you to first discuss Max’s journey in Where The Wild Things Are. Can you name all the features he sees? First it's the forest, then he sees the ocean. What does he see next? 

Can you draw a simple picture map based on Max’s journey? Can you add symbols to show places just like the maps here have done too? 


Have a wonderful day everyone!

How are you all getting on? 
I really do love seeing all the work you send to me at: 
[email protected] 
Being able to see all your had work makes me so proud of you all! You have continued to show great commitment to your learning at home and I could not be happier. Keep it up! 

Here are your activities to complete today: 
Reading: 

Phonics: 
You are going to look at the sound 'u'. You may think we have seen this sound before in Phase 2, however, this letter can make two sounds. Today you will see that 'u' can make the sound in 'umbrella' but also in 'unicorn'. We say 'u, u, musical unicorns'. 
Join in with the lesson here:

English: To generate ideas for my own story.
Continuing from yesterday, think about these questions to help you generate ideas for your own story. 
 
What made him want to go home? How did he get back? What made Max want to go home, is this similar to some feelings at the start of the story? How will you decide to go home in your story? 

How did the story end? How will you end your story? Try to link this back to the start of the story too. 

Once you have thought about these points, I would like you to design a costume you will wear in your story. You are going to be 'Max' in your very own story. Use this template or draw your own. 

Maths: Numbers to 50.
Make sure you watch the lesson found here: 
whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/spring-week-5-number-place-value-within-50/ 
Answer each question when you are instructed to. 

​
RE: To understand that Jesus is the most special person in the Parish family. 
When the parish family gathers to celebrate Mass, we have an important part to play by listening to God’s Word.  The priest (or deacon if there is one) reads the Gospel, the stories of the life of Jesus, who is the most special person for the parish family.  We stand to listen to the Gospel. 

One of the stories we hear at this time of year is about Mary and Joseph taking Jesus, as a baby, to be presented in the Temple.  Mary and Joseph made many journeys to the Temple.  We remember this story on 2nd February, the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus.  Candles are blessed and carried on this day to remind us that Jesus would bring light and joy to the world.

Read a simple version of the story here, this is from God’s Story 2 page 62 based on Luke 2: 23 - 40, A visit to the Temple.  

​Have a brilliant day Year 1!

​Welcome back to another week of home learning!! Last week, I was so impressed with your Wild Thing creations. Here are the ones that have been sent in, can you spot yours? 

Remember, please send you work to me via this email address: 
[email protected] 

Here are your activities for today: 
Reading: 

​Phonics: 
Today's new sound is 'ue'. We say the rhyme, 'ue, ue, blue glue'.
Can you make up your own action for this to help you remember the sound? I am really looking forward to learning all your actions when we return to school. 

English: To generate ideas for my own story. 
To start our thinking today, watch the video in the learn section on this page:
www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmqtnrd
 
Now, begin to generate ideas for your own story. Think about:
What magical thing will start the adventure? What happens in the original story? How else could you start your adventure? 

How will you get to the setting? How does Max get to the Wild Things? How could you get there?

What will happen when you get there? What happens when Max reaches the Wild Things? What will happen in your story? 

Talk about these things with an adult at home. You could draw pictures to help you remember these things or write sentences to answer the questions above. Record your ideas in your own way, how you think is best! 


Maths: To count to 50 by making 10s. 
Find today's maths lesson here: 
whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/spring-week-5-number-place-value-within-50/

Join in and the have a go at making 5 groups of 10. You could use objects from around your house to help you! Cutlery is great for this, or you could draw pictures to illustrate it too. 
When you count them can you count in 10s up to 50? 


P.E. 
​Have a go at creating your own movement sequence, this comes into gymnastics! 
There is video below to explain this further for you!

Have a wonderful day Year 1!!
