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.

Suggested Maths Activities

Number bonds to 20.

Note for the parents or carers:

• How to practise number bonds at home.

Give your child twenty counters (Lego bricks, buttons, sweets) and ask them questions such as: What do you add to 3 to make 20? What do you add to 12 to make 20? Encourage them to use the counters to work it out.

Print out number cards and ask your child to match them up into number pairs or number bonds (this can be done as a game of Snap).

Write a list of ten numbers then time your child to see how long it takes them to write down the other number that makes up each pair (2 and 18; 5 and 15; 4 and 16).

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.
