Hello Year 1!

Can you believe we have reached the last week of Term 3 already?! We certainly can’t!

It was lovely to see so many faces on our Zoom calls last Friday, thank you for joining us.

Enjoy your last week of the Dinosaur topic and don’t forget to send us photos of your learning! Take care and stay safe, Miss Ottaway, Mrs Harvey and the KS1 team!

Maths

Topic: Subtraction

Warm ups:

• practise counting backwards from 20

• recall your number bonds to 10 as quickly as you can

• practise forming your numbers

• practise ordering your numbers to 20 and beyond

• count in steps of 2

• practise counting up to 50

This week our topic is subtraction. We will be telling subtraction stories, and using a range of resources to show our understanding.

Spend time talking about the vocabulary we use when we subtract: Take away, left, fewer, less, minus, counting backwards etc

Spend time talking about the subtraction symbol ‘-’ and the equals symbol ‘=‘. (Remember that ‘equals’ means ‘the same as’. Don’t forget to use practical resources you have around the house to help you visualise your subtraction story clearer!

English

This week we would like you to focus on a book! Our work will be based around Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs! On the website—in the stories with your teachers section you will find lots of familiar faces reading you a range of his adventures!

We will begin the week focusing on the first story, there is a YouTube link for you to use if you do not have a copy.

Before you read the book, complete the prediction activity, by looking at the front cover.

Then follow through the tasks, create a prop bag, retell the story verbally using your props. Next, draw the story in the correct sequence, focusing on a beginning, middle and end.

After this, begin to plan your own Bucketful of Dinosaurs story and then become an amazing author to write your creation!

There are lots of resources on the website to help you. Remember to use your sounds to help you spell, we know you are not going to spell every word correctly but would like to see evidence of your Phonics being used! We can’t wait to read them!
