Spellings

Before you work on any spellings sing though the phonics songs first. Then:

1. Work in one set at a time starting with the red. 
2. Take a week to learn the spellings in each set.
3. Choose a few words to focus on - do not attempt them all in one go unless your child knows them (keep going over them if they do!)
4. Read the words first - talk abut each one - do they know what it means? Can they say the word in a sentence? Model it for them
5. Look at the words that rhyme - this will help you child learn them in groups
6. How to learn to spell a word:Look at itSay itCover it upWrite itCheck it
7. Once your child can spell a few words let them have a go at writing each one in a sentence. Say the sentence first to ensure it makes sense and help them if it doesn't. Then let them write it - watch out for correct letter formation as they do!

Thank you for all the gorgeous teddy bears and the wonderful stories of 'We re going on a bear hunt.' You continue to amaze me.

Thank you all for your  excellent work on reptiles and your stories too. I love looking at them all.

You have done some brilliant work about frogs today. Well done! I am so impressed.  Can you see yours?

We have been working on letter formation. Look at how beautiful our work is!

ARTISTS GALLERY

Today's drawing task was Gregosaurus and what an amazing group of dinosaurs we have. I think if I met Greg I would not be scared at all! Well done everyone!

In Year 1 the children need to be able to recognise and name some garden and wild flowers. Learn the names of these flowers over the next 2 weeks.

When you look outside can you see any of these flowers?

How would you describe them?

Which flower is which?

Daffodil        Poppy        Rose             Snowdrop       Tulip

RE

Learning for Wednesday 1st April

We want you to think about the Easter story. Can you look at the pictures from the Easter story and write your own sentence to go with each picture?

Think about how each person felt. Why do they feel that way?

DON’T FORGET TO USE THE 7 HABITS!

Don't forget to read every day at home with an adult!

What books do you have at home that you love to read? 

FRESH AIR TIME!

When it is fresh air time here are some of the things that you can do...

• if you have a drive way or safe space to ride then go on your bike or scooter
• if you have an outdoor space then play in the garden
• if you don't have a garden then sit on the door step and draw, read a book, listen to some music
• throw and catch a ball - if you don't have a ball then roll up a pair of socks! If you are using socks you might be able to do this inside if the weather is not good and you can't go out. Find a safe space to throw them and then:
  - throw them up in the air and catch them-how many times can you do it without dropping them? Can your throw them up - clap once and then catch them? Can you clap twice?
