Wonderful Worms

Ever wonder what those little earthworms are up to? Watch this video to learn why worms are wonderful with Jessi and Squeaks!

Have a go at this bug fossils activity. Your child will love inspecting the bugs & the “fossils” with their magnifying glasses.

To make your own play dough following this recipe.

Today’s magic number is 29.

Have a go at completing the number mat for this number.

Let’s start off our final session of multiplication by watching this clip on YouTube. Can you work out how many sausages are needed for the party?

Today I would like you to make an ‘Array city’ picture with your grown up.  Cut up coloured paper (or paint/colour) to make buildings with different amounts of windows in each.

Don’t forget to write the multiplication sentences underneath each building.

Have fun! 😊

Good morning year 1, 

I hope you have enjoyed our literacy activities this week.

For your final task I would like you to pretend you are one of the garden mini-beasts from the story (a bee, slug, snail or toad) and imagine how you would feel when Wizard Lizard takes Superworm away?

Write a letter to evil Wizard Lizard asking him to give your friend back. Try to include some of these points in your letter:

• Why you want Superworm back?
• What Superworm does to help you.
• How you all feel without your friend?
• How would you all feel to have him back?

I have included a template for you to write your letter on.

Have a lovely weekend.😊

Yesterday we looked at the importance of feeling good about yourself. 

Here is a lovely picture book which explores what makes us all unique.

Now that we know Nalvana’s superpower, can you have a think about yours?

Have a go at the activity sheet below. Describe your superpower and explain how you use it each day to make a positive impact.

Remember, not all super powers are so easy to see, sometimes what makes a person special lies within.

I’m a Superhero!

Superworm Costume

Design a superhero costume for Superworm to wear. You could give him a mask, some cuffs, a cape or maybe even a helmet?

Draw a picture, create a collage or even make something to represent your design. How creative can you make your costume? I look forward to seeing your designs!

Today’s magic number is 36.

Have a go at completing the number mat at for today’s number.

This week we have been using arrays to solve multiplication. Watch this clip on YouTube. Meet ‘multiplication boy’ and practise counting in fives.

Write out some simple multiplication sentences on cards, and ask your child to make play dough arrays to match. If you haven’t got any any play dough you could find a recipe online and make some, or just use objects again.

Good morning year 1, 

Today’s session requires lots of imagination so before we begin, get out those imagination hats!

Look back at the story and make a list of all the different things Superworm is used for in the story such as being a ride, a lasso and a crane.

Think of another thing that Superworm could turn into for example, a washing line or a scarf. Remember, each adventure must include an animal that gets into difficulty, with Superworm coming to save them. Draw a picture of Superworm in action and write a few sentences.

We would love to hear what Superworm gets up to next so send in a copy of your work to year1team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk. 

Are you struggling to keep your child motivated with school work?

Here is a book that explores the struggles that come with staying at home. The book shows a family of raccoons going through a day in lock down. It touches on children’s responsibilities and how it is important to continue to do things like exercise and your school work!
