Thursday 23rd April – Year 1

Hello again Year 1,

On Thursday mornings at Lings we have our KS1 Celebration Assembly. We thought it would be nice if we could have a ‘virtual’ assembly this morning and give out some certificates to children who have sent us their work – and have been working very hard at home! We have just put first names on the certificates but if you have commented on the blog or emailed the Year 1 Team, then you know who you are! We would like to give the following children certificates for their hard work and efforts whilst they have been learning at home:

Well done to all of you! Keep up the hard work!

Here are your activities to have a go at today:

1. Sounds-Write Phonics
   Miss Simons, Mrs Brookes/Roberts and Mrs Jones’ Groups:
   /ee/ <e>
   Review all previously learnt sounds.
   Read the words: me be we he she
   Write the words: me she we be he
   Sound Swap: ten ven hen shen chen chan chin
   Dictation: He was sure she had seen the bee.
   Challenge: She had to be very happy that the chimpanzee would be in the sea.

   Mrs Sargent and Mrs Clarke’s Groups:
   /ee/ <e>
   Review all previously learnt sounds.
   Read the words: me be we he she
   Write the words: me she we be
   Sound Swap: ten ven hen shen chen chan chin
   Dictation: He was sure she had seen the bee.

2. Reading/Writing
   Handwriting practice …

These are the names of our handwriting lines; Top Solid Line, Broken Dotted Line and Bottom Solid Line. You can have a go at drawing your own set of handwriting lines and practise writing these letters; r, k, a and t. Look at the pictures below to see how we form these letters correctly. Don’t forget … it is not a race! Try and make every letter your neatest and when you are done, draw a smiley face next to your best letter.

3. Maths

Find a big cup/bucket and a small cup/egg cup.

Look at the big cup. How many small cups full of water will it take to fill the big one? Make a prediction and record it somewhere.

Now start to fill the big cup – using the smaller one. Make sure that it is a fair measurement by filling the cup with the same amount of water each time! Record your findings when you have worked out how many cups it took to fill your bucket!

4. RE – Judaism: The Creation Story

Watch this video of how Jewish people believe God created the world …

Now … create a comic strip/story map of how Jewish people believe God created the world. In which order was the world made? What came first? What was made on the second day? Third day? Fourth day? Fifth day? Sixth day? Seventh day?
Challenge: Can you remember the names of the days in a week?

Have a great day,
Miss Simons, Mrs Brookes and Mrs Roberts : )
