Maths

Starter

As usual, begin with Gem Maths.  Then play Fastest Finger, finding numbers from 1 to 90.  How many can you find in one minute?

One More, One Less

Now we know our numbers to 100, we need to be able to say what one more or less is than any number in this range.

Under normal circumstances we would have used apparatus to physically make the numbers so children can understand and visualise what is happening when we find one more and one less.  We would then move on to more abstract methods such as number tracks and hundred squares.  The goal would be to be able to say one more or less without using any aids to help.

You should have a hundred square which you can use to help.  Discuss which digit will change if we find one more or less. Depending on the number, the tens digit may change or it may not.

Below are some question you can ask when practising finding one more or less:

Tasks

Give your child a number from 1-100.  See if they can tell you what one more and one less is.  Sue the questions above as a guide.

English 

Spellings (Y1 Common Exception Words) - one, once, ask, school, put

Remember to learn to read and write the words independently

Activity - What are they thinking about - Part 1. Have a look at the images of stills from the story of the Three Little Pigs. What do you think each character is thinking? Can you write your answers in your book or on the sheet. 

Activity - Science

Please complete the science activity on the previous website page. 

This week we are beginning to explore using our senses.

Phonics and Reading

We would like you to click on the videos below and watch the phonics lessons from Letters and Sounds. Activities which you can do to apply the sound are in the video and there are also linked underneath.  

After, please watch the videos on the phonics resource and support section which practices all your phonics sounds using the flashcards which we use at school. Have a go at saying the sounds along with Miss Smith. Make sure you are saying the pure sounds accurately. 

Don't forget to read your book everyday.
