Hello everyone in the Year 1 Class and Good Morning from Marta!
We hope you are all keeping well and safe.
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 don’t feel pressured to complete them all and, if you think 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.
Remember: Always ask your parents before you go online and ask them to check what you are looking at.
Suggested Maths Activities
This week we are learning about taking away.
Watch these three videos and complete the worksheets. You can write your answers on a separate sheet of paper. Draw your own number lines or ask a member of your family to help you.
Suggested Literacy activities
Oxford Owl website.
To be able to access the website, you will need to register as a parent. It is free to register. Here you will find a range of books you can choose from. The children should know what level they are on. Please check your child’s bag: the last book they took home, this is the level they are on. If you are on the Oxford Reading Tree Scheme (level 1 to 8), you will know what to do: go to the next level when you think you are ready to move up. If you are off the Oxford Reading Tree Scheme, feel free to explore the books and choose the ones that you like. Try to read for 20 minutes every day. Ask a member of your family to listen to you read.
You can also visit this website. (Click this link)
Here you can find lots of lovely interactive books to read online or watch with signing.
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?
(Try to write minimum 3 sentences but if you want you can write 10 or more!)
When writing your sentences always remember our ‘Do I have’ checklist:
Capital letters at the start of each sentence
Finger spaces between words
Full stop at the end of each sentence
Read your writing to check if it makes sense
Extension:
If you want to make your sentences longer and more interesting, you can use various connectives: and, because, but, so.
You can also use alternative sentence starters: First, Next, Then, After that, Also.
You can also watch these two videos.
Watch this PowerPoint and complete the worksheets below.
Remember:
Plants are living things
Plants make oxygen and provide homes and food for animals and humans
Plants need air, sunlight and water but make their own food
Plants reproduce through seeds.
