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.

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.
