Home learning for Year 1 - Squirrels

Week Beginning 1st March 2021


Dear Squirrels Parents and Children,

New: PE Video

Please complete a lesson of Maths and English each day and do the ‘frequently’ section a few times a week. Then you can do the Learning Journey and Science lesson when the mood is right across the week. I have also included an 'Other Learning' section, in case you wanted anything extra!

I hope you are all well. If you need to contact me for help/ a chat/ any form of support or just to send me pictures of your child's work, please feel free to do so via email- cp@harlandsprimary.org

Stay safe,

Miss Pooley.

Frequently

Read, read, read! If you run out of things to read, here is a link to a website where you can find free e-books http://www.magickeys.com/books/

Numbots (email me if you can't remember your log in)

Maths

This week we will be following the PowerPoint provided below for our Maths lessons. We will be focusing on 'Time' and 'counting in 2s, 5s and 10s'.

Due to only having 4 lessons last week, I have included an extra lesson this week. If you do not have time to complete it, don't worry.

I have attached a sheet and task explanation below.

Learning Journey

For our Learning Journey this week we will be looking at 'real-life superheroes'. I have attached a letter template below, I want you to write to a key worker you know, thanking them for all their hard work over the lockdown. This could be doctors, nurses, supermarket workers, binmen, postmen, carers, or anyone who is working hard at the moment and helping others!

I have also attached some colouring sheets too.

Other Learning

This section is optional. If you are looking for extra work or activities to do then you can choose any of the following files. There's some Maths consolidation tasks, English activities (not based on our core text) and some super hero themed bits too.

PE
