Phonics
Miss Sharpe's group - I would like to join in with the live phonics lesson streaming on youtube at 9:30am (remember if you miss it - don't worry! It will be on the youtube channel for 24hrs)
You are learning set 3 sounds so make sure this is the one that you watch. You should also watch and join in with the spelling video to match the sound which you are learning today. You will need some paper and a pencil to write the words on.
It's really important to keep practising your sounds.
Here's the link:

Reading
This week you are going to read a new text. It is called, 'The Woman who Fooled the Fairies'. It is a fiction text. Do you remember what fiction means? Well done if you remembered a fiction text is a made up story.
This week you have a video to watch which has the text in it. You need to watch the video and pause it at different points to join in with your learning.
I have also typed up the text which you can print out if you would like it in front of you to underline or highlight. Keep a hold of it if you print it out!
For your main learning you are going to match information. Skim through the text to find the key word you need to match, then read the sentence before checking the options for matching the word. You should then be able to choose the best match.

Maths: Red, Orange, Yellow & Green groups
In our maths learning this week we are moving on to learn about shapes.
Today we are going to look at 2D and 3D shapes.
Look at the shapes below and their names.
Look at the different 2D shapes.
Can you tell if the shapes have curved or straight edges?
Can you see differences between shapes? For example: The rectangle has 4 straight edges, a triangle has 3 straight edges.
Watch this video below to learn more about 2D and 3D shapes. Join in with the activities when you are asked to pause the video.
When you answer your worksheet you will have to find the odd one out for 2 of the questions. You need to look closely at the shapes and ask yourself some questions. What is the same about the shapes? How many sides do the shapes have? Are the shapes 2D or 3D?
Maths: Blue group
Today we are going to learn to count in 2s.
There are lots of things around us that come in 2s so we need to be able to count in 2s.
It is also quicker to count in 2s to find the total number sometimes too.
Watch the video to find out about how you can practise counting in 2s
Year 1: I would like you to count in 2s on the 50 chart. Colour the 2s number you land on each time.
Writing: Grammar
Red, Orange, Yellow and Green groups:
Today you are going to learn how to use superlative adjectives.
Superlative adjectives are used to help compare and describe the difference between items.
In the above example, when it says the oldest car it means it is the car that is the oldest. There aren’t any other cars that are older than that car.
This video below will show you how to make superlative adjectives and give you some examples.
For your main learning activity today you will add –est to an adjective to make it a superlative adjective, you will choose the best superlative adjective to fit in a gap and you will sort words into 3 groups: adjective, comparative or superlative.
Blue group: Describing words
Today you are going to learn about describing words. Describing words are also called adjectives. Describing words tell us what something is like.
In the above example you can see 3 pictures.
The first one is a picture of a beach ball and it says, ‘a round ball’ the word round tells us what the shape of the ball is.
The second picture of a flower says, ‘a pretty flower’ the word pretty is telling us the flower is pretty, which tells us it looks nice.
The third picture is showing a boy with a big smile and his hands in the air. It says, ‘a happy child’ this tells us the boy is happy which tells us how he is feeling.
Adjectives help us know more about people, places and things.
Watch this video on the link below and try the activity to show you how adjectives can be used.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zrqqtfr/articles/zy2r6yc
You are going to identify the adjectives by underlining the adjective in a sentence. Then you will read some words in a box and pick out the adjectives and write them in a list. Finally, you will use 3 adjectives in sentences of your own to show you know how to use adjectives.
Science
Last lesson our learning was about materials. Do you remember what a material is?
Materials are what things are made from; A window is made of glass.
Do you remember these words and their meanings?
Transparent: See through and lets all light through.
Translucent: Lets some light through.
Opaque: Doesn’t let any light through.
Flexible: Can bend.
In your learning today, you have an investigation. An investigation in science is where we complete an experiment to find things out. Today we will be investigating materials; to see if they bend, squash, stretch or twist. You will have a table of results like this one:
The materials you are investigating are foil, Blu-tac, wood, elastic band, fabric and paper. If you don’t have any of these materials at home, you can replace them with e.g. rubber, wool, plastic or metal. Before filling the boxes, you need to make a prediction. A prediction is like a guess but with a reason for your answer.
Once you have completed your prediction, I would like you to complete the table by putting in a tick or a cross. Bend, twist, squash and stretch each material. Do your results match your prediction?
What do you think foil could be used for and why?
Story time
Today's story is 'The Case of the Red-Bottomed Robber!' I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think of the story.
