Hello Year 1
Hope you are all okay and are still managing lots of
super learning. We have enjoyed seeing
more of you in school this week and now have three Year 1 bubbles. Those of you who are still working from home,
don’t worry, we are doing the same work as you whilst we are in school. We will also continue to email you all each
week and reply to your emails too.
Remember to keep an eye on the blog for our video
stories too. Miss Cobb did the first one
and Miss Wright has posted one for you this week.
Please find below the tasks for this coming week:

English:
Monday – Can
you read accurately both familiar and unfamiliar words containing the phonic
sounds taught this year? Can you check the test makes sense to you as you go?
This week our
English work is going to have a Geography focus as it involves comparing life
in our village of Mulbarton to villages in Kenya (comparing an area of the UK
with a contrasting area of a non-European country in a KS1 Geography
objective in the National Curriculum).
Today, we would
like you to read some information about 2 different children’s daily life in
the Kenya. We would like you to use your phonics to help you segment and
blend any unfamiliar words. Grown-ups can help you if there are any words that
are not decodable, but try your best. Try and read whole sentences back to
yourself once you have decoded the words to help you understand what is
written.
You may want to explain to your children that the
children in these villages live in poor areas. Some parts of Kenya are more
wealthy but shockingly 36% of the population live below the international
poverty line.
If it is too much
for your child to read both stories, then you could read one to them.
Tuesday – Handwriting
Write each word 3 times using your best pre-cursive handwriting.
Remember each day needs a capital letter at
the start.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
The school also
subscribes to a handwriting package called Letterjoin (click to access),
which you can access at home using these login details.
Wednesday – Can
you write questions using question marks?
Remind children about the work we did on Monday. You could watch
this video about Gaudenisa’s life to reinforce what they read: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xKbhlaqHvk
Today we are going to revise question marks. What are
question marks? What are they used for? They are a type of punctuation (just
like a full stop) used at the end of a question. Can you remember what it
looks like?
Recap the different ways you can start a question:
Who..? What..? When..? Where..? Why..? What…? Do..? Can..?
Can you think of some questions you would like to ask either
Gaudensia or Kaki about their life? Or maybe you would like to know more
about the country of Kenya itself.
Write a list of 5 questions using capital letters, finger
spaces and question marks.
Remember to use pre-cursive handwriting. For an extra challenge, can you start each question using a different question word?
Thursday -
Phonics
If there are any your child doesn’t
know you may want to focus on reading words with these sounds in this week.
Here are some more ‘I Spy and Read’
activity sheets containing Phase 5 sounds (they are different to last week).
Read the words and match them to the picture. There are 3 to choose from.
If any of you are still working on
Phase 3 please practise using this sound mat – click
here.
And the below ‘I Spy and Read’:
Friday –
Can you write a letter with multiple sentences and a question? Can you use
full stops and question marks accurately for each sentence type?
Now you have learnt about life in Kenya, today, we would like you to
write a letter to Gaudensia or Haki to tell them about your life in Mulbarton
and how it is different or similar to theirs.
You could watch this further video about a different child if you would like a reminder about Kenyan life:
What does a letter look like? What are the features of a letter>
Use this PowerPoint presentation to go over the main features of a letter – click here.
Before writing discuss:
Did you find anything surprising about their life?
Do you do anything the same as them?
What is different?
Could you finish your letter by asking them one of your questions from
Wednesday?

Science
Can you perform a simple science
experiment, observe closely and use simple equipment?
Watch the video to learn about how
shadows are made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuUJCNzfoBw
Experiment with making different shadows using the sun or a torch as a
light source. Can you use a variety of
objects, together with your hands and body to make different shadows?
Choose an item to make your
shadow. Stand it on a large piece of
paper/a concrete surface. Plot the course of a shadow regularly over
a sunny day. Draw around the shadows
at timed intervals to explore how they move.
Record your results in the attached
table.
NB. When measuring shadows outside,
encourage the children to think of fair ways of marking shadow size and
shape, such as using the same place and object, unit of measurement and time
intervals.

PSHE
Can you learn about keeping safe in the
sun?
As this week is forecast to be very hot, we thought it
would be a good time to change our weather focus from wind to sunshine.
We would like you to learn about, and discuss, how to
keep safe in the sun and why it is important.
In Australia they have a really good campaign called
‘Slip, Slap, Slop, Seek and Slide’. Watch their video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzA47J7QsVk
This video
is also quite fun as it includes the Despicable Me characters -
We would
like you to make a poster to tell people about the 5 main elements of how to keep safe in the sun. If you
would like to see some examples of sun safety posters for inspiration – click here.

Art and Design
Can you use a range of materials
creatively to design and make products?
Choose one
of the sunshine
crafts we’ve suggested or come up with your own ideas based on resources
you have at home.
In school
we will be making the sunshine paper plate, but we appreciate that you may
not have the resources to do this at home, so we have included some alternative
options you may prefer. Remember, we’d love to see the photos!

Daily Tasks
Phonics -
using Letters and Sounds daily
live phonics lessons. Sessions take place Monday-Friday at 10.30am
for Year 1 and at 11am for children who may need a little extra help with their
sounds and blending. Alternatively, to practise specific sounds, you
could use the Alphablocks videos online or select Phonics Play games https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/, such as
Speed Trial, Buried Treasure or Acorn Adventures for that sound. Children are
very familiar with Phonics Play and will be able to show you how to use it.
Reading - a
book/comic/Bug Club to develop reading skills. We will allocate
extra books on Bug Club when we notice you are getting low, or you can let us
know when you email us.
In addition,
if you are a Lexia user, please continue to use this from home.
