Good morning Year 1,
We hope you are all keeping well and safe at home.
This week is special because we are focusing on ‘Children’s Mental Health Week’.
As well as maths and literacy, we are looking at how to ‘express yourself’. Our afternoon lessons will consist of 5 different ways to wellbeing. These will be:
Being Active, staying connected, giving, learning or trying something new and taking notice (things that bring us joy). We would love to see you doing some of these activities, please send any photos to year1team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk
Literacy:

Lesson: Identify nouns
Read the poem and find the nouns. Remember that a noun is a person a place or a thing.
Have a go at the worksheet. There are two to choose from, choose the one you are going to do.
Maths:
Lesson: Identify the value of coins
This week, we will be learning all about money! First, watch this video introducing you to different coins
See if an adult in your house has any of these coins that you can look at. Remember each coin has a different value. The words written on the coin tell you the amount that it is worth.
Have a go at this worksheet. You will need scissors and glue to cut out each coin and a pencil to write the value.
Children’s Mental Health Week – Being Active:
Lesson: Be Active
Today we are going to understand why being active, is so important to our mental health.

Your task today is to wear your sportiest outfit and go for a small walk with your grown up. Then, can you complete this Disney dance challenge? To finish off, have a go at this calming movement video / this calm colouring. These are great at making you feel relaxed. Good luck!
