Hello everyone in the Year 1 Class and Good Morning from Marta!
We hope you are all keeping well and safe.
All the adults in your class miss having you at school and we can’t wait to have you back with us! We hope you are ready to do some online learning. Here are some suggestions of activities you can do at home this week. You can take the whole week to complete them or finish them all before the week ends, it’s up to you! Please note that these activities are optional and some will be differentiated according to the level of difficulty. Please don’t feel pressured to complete them all and, if you feel that some activities are too difficult choose the ones you can do by yourself. You can also ask your parents or siblings to help you. Please remember, if you are struggling with some of the activities, don’t worry! We will do them again when you are back in school!
Keep a weekly/daily diary of what you have done or seen. Illustrate your work with your drawings.
Some ideas for you:
What did you see/hear when you opened the window this morning? What did you see/hear when you went for a walk today? What film or show did you see today? What story did you read today? What was it about?
For example:
Today I went for a walk with my dad. I heard a bird singing in the tree. The bird was red and black.
This morning my mum read me a story. The story was about……. . I liked it because it was silly.
