Year 1 – Thursday 19th March
Dear Parents,
We hope you are doing well. Please do not feel like you have to complete all of the activities provided in one day. Anything you can do is fantastic! Please remember to check the ‘other activities’ section of this post as there is sometimes new information here. We are still checking this email account regularly and have enjoyed seeing all of the lovely work that children have emailed in already. Please do not feel like you have to send us anything you are doing but feel free to continue contacting us at: year1@stmarksce.org.uk
English Activity: We have been learning about Mrs Armitage on Wheels. If you have a copy then you could read it or listen to the story using our video (not linked on this post but there will be a post shortly with this). At the end, her bike collapses, can you think about what other mode of transport she could have instead? Draw a picture and label the different parts of the vehicle. Can you write a sentence using ‘because’ to explain why she should have this vehicle?
Maths Activity 19/3/20: This activity focuses on counting in 10’s. There is a sheet available for children to complete where possible. If not, we encourage you to spend time practising counting in 10’s to 100 with your child. This could be verbally, part of a song, jumping while counting, writing the numbers down, or counting objects around the house in groups of 10 (10 toes, 10 fingers or 10p coins are great for this!).

Topic Activities:

Topic Activities
We have been learning all sorts of interesting facts about animals on the farm. There are lots of important vehicles that work hard on the farm too. I wonder if you could name any of them?
Today’s Job:
Can you build a vehicle that could work on the farm? You could use building blocks, Lego, junk modelling, playdough or any other resources you have at home. How could you join the pieces together? Will it be able to move? Have fun!
