Here is your child’s learning for today:
Reading
Choose a book with a character in it. It can be any book from your collection at home. Look at the setting of the book and describe where it takes place, for example a gloomy old castle or a small town. Can you draw a new setting for the character to go an adventure too? For example Little Red Riding Hood could visit the city.
Phonics play is a free website designed to help children recap and apply the phonics sounds they have learnt at school. Start with phase 1 and work your way up!

English
Today we will be looking at the character of Beegu and how she might be feeling as she explores the Earth. Pause the video on each page and ask your child – How do you think Beegu is feeling? Encourage your child to speak in full sentences using the sentence prompt on the slides ‘I think Beegu is feeling…because…’
Your child could draw a picture of Beegu and label the picture with different feelings using their phonics knowledge to sound out unknown words.

Maths
Practise counting in tens following the link on the slides. Today you could try some practical grouping activities around the house. For example find 6 pairs of shoes, group them and then write a number sentence 2+2+2+2+2+2=12
Find three people and ask them to hold out their hands- write a number sentence and count how many fingers 5+5+5+5+5+5=
Take a photo and send it to your class teacher!
Don’t forget that Fully Booked Week is coming up in a few weeks and Year 1 are all going to design and make their own costumes. You should have received a letter on the parent portal which explains that everyone will be dressing up as an alien! So time to get creative, draw a plan and work on your own costume!
The Year 1 Team.
