Friday 24th April – Year 1

It’s Friday Year 1,

Well done for such a super week of learning at home. We hope you have a good rest over the weekend so that you are ready for another fantastic week of learning! Before you get started on today’s activities, here’s another online safety question for you to discuss with your adults at home …

1. Sounds-Write Phonics
   Miss Simons, Mrs Brookes/Roberts and Mrs Jones’ Groups:
   /ee/ <ie>
   Review all previously learnt sounds.
   Read the words: chief field shriek grief airfield brief thief relief belief
   Write the words: movie priest chief field shriek grief shield piece
   Speed Read: Choose 20 words that you have read/written this week – with the /ee/ sound – and see how many you can read in 30 seconds!

Mrs Sargent and Mrs Clarke’s Groups:
/ee/ <ie>
Review all previously learnt sounds.

Write the words: movie chief field shriek grief shield piece
Speed Read: Choose 20 words that you have read/written this week – with the /ee/ sound – and see how many you can read in 30 seconds!

2. Reading/Writing
   Write a character description of the Shoemaker. Here are some additional pictures to help you with your descriptive writing about the Shoemaker;

Some things to think about:

• What does he look like? What does he wear? Can you describe his features?
• Is he lazy or does he work very hard?
• What is his job?
• Is he rich or poor? Is he happy?

Remember to use capital letters, spaces between words and full stops. Don’t forget to write in your neatest writing.
Challenge: Can you use ‘and’ and ‘because’ in your writing?

3. Maths

Find a range of different sized boxes. Explore these boxes. Make predictions – which one will hold the most toys? Explain your thinking.

Now, fill the boxes with toys and find out whether your prediction was correct! Which box could hold the most toys? How many toys could they hold?

4. Computing
