Home Learning blog - Day 28

Happy Friday everyone! 

Welcome back to your last day of home learning before you have a well deserved break for half term! 

Today you will have time to complete any work from this week. If you haven't done so already, once finished, please may you send your stories and any other work to: 
[email protected] 
It is so important that I see what you have been doing at home, so I know how best to support you and continue to progress after half term.  

Here are your learning activities for today: 
Reading: 

We are going to finish looking at the book 'A Monster mistake'.
You may want to re-read or look through the book again to refresh your memory of the story, before continuing with the questions below:
 
Turn back to pages 12-15. How did Gran make the monster? What are the stones for?
 
Why was mum cross with Gran on pages 22 and 23?
 
Do you think there might be a real monster in a lake in Scotland?
 
You could also complete 'Play Activity 2' today if you have time. 

Phonics: 
​We are going to look at another split diagraph. Today it is i-e, which we find in words such as like,, nice, bike and smile. In school, to help us remember this sound, we say "i-e, i-e, nice smile". Join in with the lesson below and don't forget to smile! 

English: To read and evaluate my own story.
Use today to complete and review your story.

• Read it back, have you included all your full stops and capital letters? If not, go back and add them in - you could do this in another colour to show your editing. 
• Have you used the descriptions you wrote when you were generating your ideas? Can you make your descriptions any better? Again add this in with another colour. 
• Are you proud of your story?

Being able to review and edit your own work is such an important skill to learn and practise. Most of the time, our first draft can always be improved in one way or another. When we re-read our work, we tend to notice things we didn't at the time - whether thats a spelling mistake, no capital letters or how you may have forgotten to use full stops. 


Maths: To order numbers to 50.
Here is your last maths lesson of the half term. Can you order numbers to 50? What do you now know about numbers to 50? 
Watch and join in with the lesson found here: 
whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/spring-week-6-number-place-value-within-50/ 
Here is the worksheet to complete when instructed to. 

Remember, there is a place value maths challenge on Purple Mash to try this week! 


Catch up afternoon: 
Use this afternoon to complete any outstanding work. You could also do some extra practise with some of the new phase 5 sounds, or even go over a maths lesson from this week! 
For the phonics go to www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources and revisit any sounds you wish to. 
Go to whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/spring-week-6-number-place-value-within-50/ to recap any of the maths lesson from this week. 

To finish off the week, here is a lovely story to listen to: 

Have a wonderful weekend and half term Year 1. I look forward to continuing to see all your hard work next half term and hopefully we can get back into the classroom as soon as possible too!! 

All the best,
