Starter Activity

How many different ways can you make the number 6? Use the + – and = symbols to create number sentences that total today’s magic number.

Maths Starter 2

Main Task

Read through the division PowerPoint which recaps sharing amounts before moving on to creating number sentences. Talk about how the largest number goes at the beginning because that is the amount being shared.

Repeat yesterday’s activity, only this time draw 3 circles and practise dividing by 3.

To conclude the lesson, play ‘Doggy Division Dinners’ game which requires the children to divide the bones equally between the dogs.

How many different words can you make today? Can you be your score from yesterday? 🤔

Boggle-challenge-2

Yesterday we started looking at the story ‘The Gruffalo’.

Today we will have a go at describing him using repeated language like the author. E.g. He has terrible tusks and terrible claws and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws.

Draw and label 6 features of the Gruffalo in sentences. E.g He has purple prickles all over his back.

If you’d rather just write the sentences, here is a worksheet with the relevant pictures.

Say Yes to the Impossible!

Maths Starter 1

Main Activity 

This week the activities are all based around division. Read through the division PowerPoint which shows children that division is like sharing. Talk about how the number gets smaller when we share/divide.

Practise dividing by 2 by drawing 2 circles on a plain piece of paper and asking your child to share out small amount of objects. Remind your child to count out the whole number first, then share it out. Talk about how dividing by two is the same as halving.

For today, write out the number sentence yourself so that your child can focus on sharing accurately. They can have a go at writing the number sentence this later on in the week.

Watch the video to show how the activity is done.

Good morning year 1,

We will start each session this week with a game of Boggle. All you have to do is use the individual letters to create as many words as you can! The bigger the word the more points you get e.g.

• 2 letter word – 1 pt
• 3 letter word = 2 pts
• 4 letter word = 3 pts
• 5 letter word = 4 pts

This is simply a starter activity to get the children ready to learn so give them a maximum of 5 minutes to play the game and then total up the scores.

This week’s literacy activities will be based on the very popular story ‘The Gruffalo’. If you don’t have a copy of the story, you can read it here.

Create a story map showing the mouse’s journey through the woods. Label the different animals that the mouse meets along the way and where they live. Here is an example to get you started.

What makes you special?

Is it your cool curly hair or the way you tell funny jokes? Can you stand on one foot or is it the song you play on the kazoo?  Remember, everyone is special and so are YOU!
