Home Learning blog - Day 32

Good Morning Year 1!

How are you all doing today? Are you ready for some more learning activities? 

I cannot quite believe we are nearing the end of another week of learning from home. Well done to you all, you are doing such a fabulous job and making me so very proud! 

Let's get started with today's learning activities: 

Reading: 
We are going to read a new book today, it is called ‘Please do not sneeze’.
You can find it on this website - remember you need to log in to access the books: 
www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/

Please read the story from cover to cover. 
Then think about these two questions:

• Did you like the story?
• What was your favourite part?  

Some of you have also been accessing MyOn at home which is lovely to see. It is so great that you are reading more than once a day! 

Phonics:
You are going to be looking at yet another split diagraph sound today - 'e-e'.
We say the rhyme "e-e, e-e, Pete and Steve". Can you think of any other words or names of people you know which use this sound? 
Watch and join in with the below lesson. 

English: To describe a character. 
Listen to the story below again. 

Think about the characters you are introduced to in the story. Are they good or bad characters? How do you know? How would you describe them? Choose a couple of the children and describe them to someone in your house (you do not need to write these descriptions down!) 

Now we are going to think about the main character George. How would you describe him? 
Use the sentence starter: 
George is .... 

As a challenge can you use the conjunctions 'and' or 'but' in your description? Can you use the prefix 'un-' too (e.g. unkind)?
​How many sentences can you write to describe him? In school I would ask for a minimum of three, but can you write any more? ​

Maths: To count in 5s. 
Before you start today's lesson, watch and join in with the song below. Here you are counting in steps of 5.​

Now, follow along with the lesson on this website: 
whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/spring-week-7-number-place-value-within-50/ 
​You are going to be counting in 5s again. Complete the questions below when told to throughout the lesson. ​

History: To identify differences between old and new objects.
Today your history work is on PurpleMash. Find the 2Do called 'Changing Homes'. Here you need to select 3 images of homes and put them in the order: 
Past
Present
Future

Can you describe each house any why it belongs in the time period you have chosen. Use the prompts on the left hand side to help you write a sentence or two about each house. 


Keep smiling everyone!
