Good Morning Year 1 – it’s Thursday! Please see below for today’s tasks:

Phonics and reading:

Children should use the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ty1hgMlJLQ

to revisit the ‘ow’ sound. They could also have a go at writing words with the ow sound in them.

English

In school we have just finished reading The Jolly Postman, in school this week we had planned to hear a little bit more about this friendly character! Please watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jQkDsoPFJE to hear a very special person reading some of this new book.

When you have listened to the story, we would like the children to create a story map, thinking carefully about the different characters The Jolly Postman delivered to and which order they came in.

Maths

Today we would like the children to complete pages 14 and 15 in their Maths activity booklet. Focus is subtracting which we had been working on in school.

We would also love to see the children working on their number formation. Remember the Tentown characters can help with this!

Thank you for your suggestions about the above Christmas artefact.

We can confirm it is a ‘Cornucopia’.  Which was a handmade Victorian Christmas decoration,  filled with treats to go onto tree.

Christmas craft

A snowflake begins life as a tiny drop of super cooled water which freezes in the sky to create an ice crystal.  All snowflakes have six sides or points.  Today we would like you to find a piece of paper to create your own six pointed snowflakes.

We would love to see pictures of the children’s work.  Don’t forget to send work to [email protected] and feel free to email if you need anything! Thank you, Year 1 Staff.
