Welcome to Year 1, please click on the links to the left to access your class page.
We understand that some of you are having difficulty accessing Purple Mash. If so, please can you try the activity at a different time in the day as it is most likely because of the amount of people trying to access it at the same time.
Please note that the daily activities can be completed in any order.
Cursive Handwriting Resources
Handwriting practice resources can be found below if you want to have a go at home! We already know lots of you are working hard with your cursive handwriting as you complete the home learning tasks. We have been very impressed!
You will also find attached a resource that provides rhymes that will help you form each letter. You will see the ‘f’ and ‘x’ have a different rhyme. We form these a little differently to what is on the document. Please refer to the ‘handwriting resources’ to see the correct formation of each letter.
Online Phonics Lessons
Would you like to access daily phonic lessons on YouTube? The Literacy Company has devised online videos to support parents at home. The lessons for Year 1 will be at 10.30am. They are also providing a video at 11am to help your child with blending sounds for extra practise. Lessons will start w/c 27. 04. 20, but you can subscribe now. Follow this link to subscribe:

Daily Learning Information

English
Paddington loves going on adventures and visiting different places. Today, we would like you to use your imagination and draw/write your own Paddington Story. We would like you to imagine that he is visiting Warrington!
Think about the following things:
How does Paddington get to Warrington?
Does he stay at your house or in a hotel?
Where does he visit?
What problems does he face?
How are they solved?
How does he get back to London?
Follow the steps and extra information on the storyboard to help you. You might find it helpful to draw your pictures first and then go back and write your sentences. Upload to Showbie, once you have finished.
Next, we are going to look at ‘time’. During this unit, we will be covering the following National Curriculum objectives:
→ sequence events in chronological order using language [for example, before and after, next, first, today, yesterday, tomorrow, morning, afternoon and evening]
→ recognise and use language relating to dates, including days of the week, weeks, months and years
→ tell the time to the hour and half past the hour and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times.
Yesterday, we looked at comparing time. Today, we are going to solve problems related to comparing time.
Complete the problems and self-check your work using the answers attached.
Today, we are going to revise the ‘u_e’ split digraph.
Have a go at playing Buried Treasure on Phonics Play using the split digraph ‘u_e’.

At the bottom of the page, there is a video for you to watch, of children playing a Spanish game on their playground.
Is it like any of the games that we play in school?
Today, your daily challenge is to complete your daily mile (this could be a couple of laps around your garden) and a ‘Speed Bounce’. This means jumping from side to side (or over an object like a skipping rope) as fast as you can!

Good Luck!

This week, our focus is on ‘Paddington Bear. Today, we are going to be using joining words such as ‘and’, ‘but’ and ‘because’. These words are also called conjunctions and they help us to extend and join our sentences.
Watch a short clip from the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCgnuhb45ik
While you watch the film, think about how Paddington is feeling and why.
Now look at the pictures. Next to each picture, write a sentence, using the conjunctions (joining words) to extend your sentences. The sentence starters have already been added on the template below, if you wish to use them or you can write your own sentences about the pictures.
Next, we are going to look at ‘time’. During this unit, we will be covering the following National Curriculum objectives:
→ sequence events in chronological order using language [for example, before and after, next, first, today, yesterday, tomorrow, morning, afternoon and evening]
→ recognise and use language relating to dates, including days of the week, weeks, months and years
→ tell the time to the hour and half past the hour and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times.
Yesterday, we looked at writing time. Today, we are going to solve problems related to writing time.
Complete the problems and self-check your work using the answers attached.
Today, we are going to revise the ‘ew’ sound as this can often be a tricky sound to remember!
To recap the sound, watch the video below:

Reading
Celebrating the NHS
Read the text and discuss the answers to the questions. You may want to read and share the text with an adult. The answers have also been uploaded below so you can check your own work.
Login to Purple Mash and complete the 2Do.
Your 2Do is to help you develop your coding skills and we would like you to have a go at the ‘Bubbles’ activity.
You may have tried this activity before in school, but it was a while ago and it is always good to remind ourselves and keep practising!
Once you have completed and submitted the ‘Bubbles’ 2Do, you might want to choose one of the other coding games to play, to challenge yourself. You could try the ‘Air Traffic Control’, ‘Snail Race’ or ‘Vehicles’. Remember to watch the video at the beginning carefully. This gives you the instructions which will help you to complete the activity.
This week, our English tasks will be based around ‘Paddington Bear’.
Have you read any of the Paddington books or watched any of the films?
Today, we are going to use our adjectives to describe Paddington Bear.
Look at the photograph of Paddington:
Task 1:
Think of adjectives that you could use to describe Paddington, e.g. brown fur. You could print the picture of Paddington and label this or you could write your adjectives in a list.
Task 2:
Use your adjectives to write sentences to describe Paddington Bear. Try to use ‘and’ to join your sentences. Don’t forget to use your capital letters, full stops and very best handwriting!
Paddington has soft, brown fur and wears a beautiful, red hat.
Challenge:
You might also be able to use ‘but’ to join your sentences:
He is wearing a thick blue coat, but no shoes or socks!

Today, we are going to recap our learning on ‘aw’ and ‘au’. Watch the video below to recap the vowel sounds:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHpyJ5svbgM&t=151s
Have a go at the worksheet below thinking of the words for each of the pictures. Once finished, you could add sound buttons to your words and then write one of the words in a sentence.
We have given you the task of learning your number bonds to 20 for the first 2 weeks of this half term. For the next 3 weeks, we are going to focus on counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s to 100. Last term, your target was to count forwards and backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s to 50. This term we would like you to carry on to 100.
Today, we would like you to focus on counting in 10s. Your task is to count forwards and backwards in 10s to and from 100. Remember, the pattern for 10s is a 0 on the end of each number with the tens number just increasing by 1 each time. Just try your best. You may need a few practises before you feel confident. You may only feel confident at the end of the term, but that is absolutely fine.
Feel free to use the link below to use a 100 square to help you learn. You can paint the squares as you count.

Spellings
On Monday, you were given 10 high frequency word spellings.
Have a go at the spelling test on Purple Mash. Go to the 2Do section and select ‘10.7.20 spelling test’.
Reading
Read something of your choice. This could be a book that you have at home or a magazine. The choice is yours! Maybe you could find a non-fiction book about the human body or our other science work?
Over the last couple of weeks, we have been thinking about the beautiful world that God created. Today we are going to think about how important it is to look after our environment. Unfortunately, some people don’t take care of places and spoil God’s beautiful creation.
Look at the pictures: Damaging the Environment Pictures
How do the pictures make you feel? How do you think they would make God feel if he was to see them?
Today, we would like you to design a poster to stop people from spoiling God’s beautiful creation. You could choose to focus on one area (cutting down trees, polluting the oceans, dropping litter) or make a poster about a couple of the different problems.
You can create your poster however you want to but you must include pictures and a couple of sentences explaining what is happening and why it must stop.
Upload your posters to Showbie once you have finished. We can’t wait to see them!
