If your child is self isolating this week, here is their work for the week ahead….
Maths - This week we will focus on numbers up to 50. This unit will develop the children’s knowledge of the numbers between 20 and 50. They will be able to count forwards and backwards to 50 and identify missing numbers in a sequence. This unit contains a focus on counting in 10’s and as there is no activity for Monday - I have added activities based on counting in 10’s.

For English, I have added an online unit based on listening to a story and writing about it - I have added this site because it has videos of the story and clear instructions as to what to do. Thought it would be straightforward for you all. Please follow the link below which will lead you to the story unit Honey and Trouble. This is a story unit which will focus on listening to a story, retelling the story and has a big focus on adjectives to help with the children’s own writing. This will take you to a ten lesson plan - this will see you through two weeks of home learning. Enjoy!! This unit has a focus on adjectives and character description.

READING - Please use the Oxford Owl site for a wealth of free ebooks appropriate for Year 1. Please continue to read each day - books from this site and your child’s own books from home. You can continue to keep a record of daily reading in your child’s reading record. https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/
Please DO NOT bring in the children’s work to school - but do post pictures into the PORTFOLIO section of Class Dojo.
Try to do three hours of school work - 30 minutes of Phonics and Reading, 45 minutes of English and handwriting practice, 45 minutes of Maths including Mental Maths (we are working on doubling and halving within 10, adding one more or one less to a number under 30 in class) and an hour of Topic based work in the afternoon. Just try your best - that is all I ask - I know it is very hard when you are working at home too.
The handwriting format, the common exception words for Year 1 and the Phase Three phonics chart are on the Homework page of this site. Please see the following page. https://www.ourladyassumption-sch.co.uk/yr1-homework/2020/11/13/autumn-term-expectations
Afternoon Activities.
Monday - RE today we will think about the Ascension and how the disciples would have felt to watch Jesus ascend up to heaven. Please watch the power point and talk about what the disciples saw and how might have felt. I would like the children to write a number of questions from the point f view of the disciples - such as ‘Where is Jesus going?’ or ‘Why is He leaving us?’ Power Point Activity
Tuesday - Science today we will start our new topic all about plants. Follow the video link for today’s lesson. Lesson 6 What changes have occurred to my bean plant?
In this lesson, we will be analysing our bean plants that we planted at the beginning of the unit in the lesson, 'How do I plant a bean?'. You will need your bean plant for the entirety of this lesson as we will be measuring and looking at the changes which have happened since we planted the seeds. If you don't have a bean plant, don’t worry we will be looking at pictures of plants to see the changes.
