Year 1 – Wednesday 29th April

Good Morning Year 1

Dear parents and children,

We hope you are safe and well.

The sunshine always makes us smile. What has the weather been like this week? Is it typical weather for the season? If you’re looking for something extra to do today, you could have a look at this video all about seasons. What season are we in? Find the video here: BBC Bitesize Seasons

Thank you for all of your lovely emails. It is great to hear from you and see all the fantastic things you’re doing at home.

Year 1 Team

English

Today we are learning about adjectives. Can you remind someone at home what an adjective is? Before you start our activity today, have a look at this video about adjectives. Can you help the wizard make the land less boring? Adjective Video

Use these slides to discuss adjectives together: Adjective Slides

You could then have a go at this activity: English – Wednesday 29th April

Maths

Summer Term – Week 1, Lesson 1 – Make Doubles

Today we are going to have a go at making doubles! When we double we add the same again, making 2 lots of the initial group. Have a watch of the video. What do you spot? While watching the video and doing your job can you join in with the sentences?

‘Double ___ is ___.’

While working out doubles, you could draw objects on a piece of paper or you could use objects from your house. You could use toy cars, teddies, lego bricks, pasta, or anything else you can think of! Maybe you could put your objects into a Part-Whole model!

During the video the lady talks about ‘skip counting’. This is a little bit like when we were super clever and did our jumps to 10. You do ‘skip counting’ after you know your answer. It is a way of showing what you know. So before you skip count use your fingers or objects to find out what double is.
