Year 1 – Wednesday 22nd April

Good Morning Year 1

Dear parents and children,

We hope you are well and have been enjoying the home learning so far. If you have any questions, would like to show us your work, or just want to say hello then you can email us. We have loved reading your emails so far.

BBC Bitesize are providing daily lessons for children on their website. There is no expectation to do these but we may refer to some of their activities in our home learning. You may also find that they have something your child is interested in and would like to learn about. Find the link here: BBC Bitesize Daily Lessons

If you’re looking for something extra to do today, have a listen to some Nursery Rhymes. Can you sing along? How about learning the words to one of them? Find them here: Nursery Rhymes

Thank you for everything you are doing. Take care and have a lovely day.

Year 1 Team

Week 2, Lesson 2 – Counting in 10’s

A few weeks ago we had a go at counting in 10s. Today we are going to be recapping counting in 10s. It’s very important that we keep practicing our skills so that we can get quicker at it and so that we will remember it easier. Have a watch of the video. What do you spot? While watching the video can you count along in your 10s? See if you can join in with the sentences.

‘There are 10 ___ in a group.’

‘There are ___ groups.’

‘There are ___ altogether.’

Watch the Week 2, Lesson 2 Video Here – Counting in 10’s Video

You will need to click the Week 2 tab and find the video called ‘Comparing Capacity’.

If you’re looking to continue learning about counting in 10’s, you could have a go at the activity for this lesson. Find the link here: Counting in 10’s Activity
