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:

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.
