Welcome to the Year 1 Online Learning!

Hello everyone in the Year 1 Class and Good Morning from Marta, Mary, Judy and Nahar!

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.

Please note, next week is half term and there will be no new work on the website.

Partitioning

Note for the parents or carers:

We teach partitioning in Year 1 to make children aware that a two or three-digit number is made up of hundreds, tens and ones. We often use arrow cards for this so that children can physically make a number, such as 24, out of a 20 and a 4. The idea is that the child lines up the arrows together to make the numbers fit. Children are taught this method before they learn to add numbers in columns. Partitioning gives children a different way of visualising maths problems, and helps them work out large sums in their head. By breaking numbers down into units that are easy for them (and us!) to calculate mentally, they can reach the correct answer without counting out tricky double or triple-digit numbers on their fingers.

Lesson 2 : Complete the activity 'Place Value Cards 1 - 99 (numbers)' on Espresso (follow the steps below to access the activity)

Lesson 3: Watch these videos and complete the worksheets.

1. Journal/Diary

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.
