Tuesday 21st April – Year 1

Good Morning Year 1,

How did you get on with your learning yesterday? We hope that you had a great day!

We know how much you all love Bella the dog and you are probably missing seeing her tail wagging around the school. Her owner – Jo – has got in touch with us to tell us about Bella’s Reading Challenge. Bella would like you to have a go at her reading challenge and let us know how you get on – you can leave a comment or send us an email at: yearone@lingsprimary.org.uk

3. Maths
   Counting Warm Up (with optional worksheet): https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/znfk8xs
   Shoe investigation – who has got the biggest shoe in your house?
   It is important that you make this a fair measurement by lining your shoes up to start at the same point! Record your findings.

   We would also like to direct you towards this useful website: https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom/year-1/maths/#subjects
   The government have created this new online platform to support parents and children whilst they are learning from home. The Maths content this week is particularly useful for us – as we will be exploring a range of different measurements throughout the week. It may be useful to reinforce understanding (alongside our activities) and/or challenge further.

4. Science
   What do plants need to grow?
   A plant is a living organism that cover much of the land of planet Earth. You see them everywhere. They include; grass, trees, flowers, bushes, ferns, mosses, and more.
   Watch this video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpxnyrd/articles/zxxsyrd
   Create a poster that explains the important things that a plant needs to grow!

Don’t forget that you can ask us any questions or send us pictures of your work at: yearone@lingsprimary.org.uk!

Happy Tuesday!
Miss Simons, Mrs Brookes and Mrs Roberts : )
