Year One - Thursday 30th April

The weather has become a little bit more unsettled ,but  make sure you still manage to get outside in the garden and have some fresh air. I can see from the work you have been sharing that you have been doing lots of lovely things. I am really enjoying seeing your work, it does make me smile.  


RWInc will continue to have live lessons via YouTube so they will help us keep our 'sounds on the boil' whilst we are at home.  These will take place daily and can be located via the following link: 

Set 1 Speed Sounds at 9.30 am and again at 12.30 pm  

Set 2 Speed Sounds at 10.00 am and again at 1.00 pm  

Set 3 Speed Sounds at 10.30 am and again at 1.30 pm  

Note: films won't be available at other times 

They also have Poetry Time on Youtube at 2pm each day, they are also available afterwards.  



Literacy:  

Today we are going to access the  resources on the BBCBitesize Home Learning website. We will focus on the Fact file activity today. The focus will be to include nouns and verbs.  

It can be found via:   

Watch the video to remind yourself about what a verb is.  

When writing sentences you can use the word 'and' to join sentences together. 

For example: 'I went swimming. I saw my friends.' could become 'I went swimming and I saw my friends.' 

Watch the clip on minibeasts or have a look in your own gardens on a minibeast hunt,  then try one of the following activities:  


Bronze: Let's make a list 

How many different minibeasts did you see in the video?  

Write some short sentences saying which minibeasts you saw. Write as many as you can like this: 

  • I saw a snail. 

  • I saw a spider. 

Once you've listed as many as you can, try using the word 'and' to join sentences them together. For example:  

  • I saw a snail and a spider. 

Silver: Making a fact file 

  • Get a piece of paper and fold it in to four quarters (ask someone to help you if needed). 

  • Choose three minibeasts from the video and give each one a name.  

  • Now write a sentence about each one making sure you use the word 'and' to link ideas together. For example: Sally the snail has a soft body and a hard shell to protect her. 

Gold : Let's make a game 

Draw six big squares on a piece of paper and then cut out each square. 

On one side write the name of a minibeast (or draw a picture of it). Then on the other side write a sentence about that minibeast. Try using the word 'and' to include more details. For example: I have a small body and I have eight legs. 

Once you've done six, test the people around you to see how many they can guess. 

This can be done in your homelearning book or using J2easy (whichever is easiest for you).  


Numeracy:  

Today please find in the Year 1 Hwb Class folder a resource helping us find half 

 

 

This does not need to be printed out and stuck in your book, only if wish/ are able to.  
To challenge yourself try and double objects from around the home or garden.  


Bronze: Halve 1 digit numbers 

Silver: Halve 2 digit numbers up to 20  

Gold: Halve 2 digit numbers beyond 20. Can you Halve a 3 digit number?  


Challenge 

I've also included a little additional challenge for you to try- can you calculate the value of each shape and find the value of the pencils? Can you solve it with your family? 

 

 

 

 

Health & Well Being:  

Today is our PE lesson so start with Joe Wicks (@thebodycoach)  at 9.am  on YouTube. A great way to start the day for all the family.  I've also seen some of you completing the Daily Mile with your family, another great way to start the day with your family!

Sport Wales have included some of their resources that we normally use in school for you at home. Have a go at the first activity and let me know how you get on:  


                

Please see our class folder for the full set of resources.  


Humanities:  

Today is Captain Tom Moore's 100th Birthday. You may have seen that he raised lots of money for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden.  

Take a moment to challenge yourself to do something 100 times in honour of his birthday...can you jump 100 times, skip, hop, clap or be inventive than me!  

Design a card for Captain Tom Moore to celebrate his 100th Birthday. Write a special message to him! 

Sing happy birthday to him in Welsh!  

Do some birthday baking! 

I've also included in the class file a Reading Activity about Captain Tom Moore, some birthday card templates and some thankyou colouring if you wish to complete them. Send them or pop them in your J2easy folder.
