Home Learning blog - Day 4 (08.01.21)

Good morning Year 1!

You have reached the end of your first week of home learning and I must say I am incredibly proud of you all. I cannot wait to see what you achieve over the coming weeks. Keep sending in your work to the address: 
[email protected] 
I love seeing your work, so thank you parents/carers for spending time doing this too. By doing the work every day you will continue to progress just like you were in the Autumn Term. 

Here are your activities for today: 
Reading: 
Keep reading for at least 15 minutes every day. 
Today I would also like you to do a follow up activity for the book you have read this week.
Could you draw your favourite part from the story and write a sentence to describe it? 
Use this sentence starter: My favourite part of the book... 
Can you use the word 'and' in your sentence too? 
How about the word 'because'? 
Send in a picture so I can see what you have been reading and what your favourite parts are!! 

Phonics: 
We are continuing with Phase 4. 
I have really enjoyed seeing the work you are doing in Phonics too in the emails you have been sending. 

English: 
Our word of the week for next week is ‘fantasy’.
Can you find out what it means?
Can you create an acrostic poem for the word ‘FANTASY’.
Today I'm not going to give you any words to help you, I'd like to see what you can come up with at home. I have been so amazed by your other acrostic poems this week, I don't think you need my help anyway! 
Remember to send your work in via the email address at the top of this blog post! I will share some of these on Monday's blog! 


Maths: 
Today you are ordering numbers. 
Watch the video then have a go at the questions. You can use blocks or objects at home or draw pictures if you need some visual help answering any of the questions.

Afternoon activities: 
Here is also a wonderful website that I have found that shares fun stories that you can listen and read along with. If you click on the light bulb icon there are questions to think about and discuss with an adult. 
The story I would like you to read is called 'Oh No, George!' 
www.booktrust.org.uk/books-and-reading/have-some-fun/storybooks-and-games/oh-no-george/
As you read along with the story, think about what you think George will do and why. How do his feeling change throughout the story? 


Use the rest of the afternoon to complete any of the tasks you may have missed this week. If you are having trouble accessing any of the home learning, please contact school!! 
Consider the following points too: 

• I wonder, when discussing the epiphany, did you touch on the idea that Jesus has been revealed as God in human form, presented to all Jewish and Non Jewish people as a sign of God's love for us all? 
• Can you find any objects at home that are made from two or more materials? E.g. a chair may be made of metal and plastic. Put your detective hats on and have a look and see what you can find. 

Keep up all your hard work Year 1 - I am already excited to see what you achieve next week! 

Have a wonderful weekend.
