Friday 26^th February 2021

English

Today as a nice relaxing Friday activity, I would like you to create a Story map of the Jack and the Beanstalk story. You can either use the template in the resources section or draw one of your own.

When creating your story map, make sure you can re-tell the story by following the pictures, making sure to include lots of those lovely adjectives that we’ve been working on this week.

Phonics

Today we would like you to go over and write as many words as you can remember that have come up this week in your phonics learning / new sounds. 

If you would still like a spelling test and would like to challenge yourself this Friday morning, then ask your parent or guardian to select 10 different words from your 'Year 1 Key Words' list. Good luck! 

Once completed take some time to recap on any sounds you need extra practice with by accessing

‘Phonics Play’ or an ‘Alphablocks’ episode.

Spellings for next week will be back to normal and will be found in Monday's (1st march) home learning resources. 

Maths

Please find today’s PowerPoint and worksheet in the resources section. Pease also have a go at Mr. Law’s ‘True or False?’ daily challenge.

PSHE:

This term our PSHE topic is ‘Rights and Responsibilities’

Today we are going to think about our responsibilities in the morning and our morning routine.

Attached, in the resources section you will find ‘Harold’s morning routine’ Can you cut out the pictures and put them in order. Draw 2 additional pictures to show extra things which Harold might do.

If you’re feeling extra creative; you could take pictures of yourself and put them into a morning story all about you!

Thursday 25^th February 2021

Today we are going to think about how Jack is feeling in the story at the point where he first sees the beanstalk.  Today you can either use the worksheet attached or send me a video clip.

The video clip will be you pretending to be Jack and waking up. You will look out of your window and talk about what you can see and how it has made you feel. Include any questions you might be thinking of.

Foundation – PE

This term, in school, we will be using some of the throwing and catching skills and putting them into effect in a game scenario, playing the sport of dodgeball. Now you might not have enough people /players to have a full game at home, so until we are all back in school (very soon hopefully) you can practice honing your throwing and catching skills using the videos that we have uploaded recently; the one skill that we never got chance to practice last term during our Ball Skills topic was bouncing the ball. So please follow the link below and have a go at bouncing the ball correctly:

Foundation - Science (Plants)

This term in Science we will be looking at a new topic – Plants. We will again be using the National Oak Academy for virtual lessons and there will be lots of interactive resources and experiments for us to have a go at. For the first lesson, we will be planting a bean (you can use a seed or a bulb if you have these at home); we will need soil, stones, a pot and a kidney bean (seed, or bulb) but if you do not have these resources available, you can watch the video of a bean being planted online. During this lesson, we will be looking at what a seed needs to be able to grow into a healthy plant.

Please do not feel the need to print off all of the different worksheets, you can simply answer the questions on a piece of paper instead if you prefer. For those of you who are planting a bean this week, please feel free to send them in to the Year 1 email address and we can share them on the blog. There is also a ‘cut and stick’ sequencing activity for you have a go at, which clearly shows the order (sequence) for planting a bean / seed.
