Maths Task

Memorising times tables makes it far quicker and easier for children to work out maths problems in their heads. By the end year 1, children should be well on their way to learning the 2, 5, and 10 times tables.

Watch this video and create your own Multiplication Table Wheel which will help children to learn the multiplication facts in a fun and interactive way.

Literacy Task

Axel Scheffler's official website | Superworm

Good morning year 1,

This week’s literacy activities will be based on the story ‘Superworm’ by Julia Donaldson. Some of you might remember me reading this book in an assembly earlier on this year!

I have attached a power point version of the story here so you can have a go at reading it with an adult.

Discuss how Superworm helped the different garden creatures. Draw a picture of each creature with their problem. Write a description of the problem and how Superworm fixes it.

E.g. Superworm turns into a skipping rope to cheer up the bees.

Don’t forget to share all of the work you have done with your teachers by sending in a copy to year1team@stgeorgesschool.org.uk

Well-being Activity ❤

Ever wonder what’s going on inside your child’s head?

Watch the movie Inside Out to look at how emotions work together and use the Inside Out feelings journal to help your child express their feelings.

Print out several copies of the inside out journal and leave them in a place that is accessible for your child. This way they can write an entry whenever they want!

Weekend Project 🛠✂

Pippety currently lives in a corner cupboard which is cluttered and crowded. He would prefer to live in the garden where there is lots of space and plenty of sunshine. ☀

Have a lovely weekend. 😎

The item he uses from his pocket.

Well-being Activity ❤

Have fun completing this rainbow tracker by colouring a section of the rainbow each day to show how you are feeling. I have also included a blank version too so you can choose your own colours and emotions.

I wonder what it will look like when finished. Which mood will be the most popular mood for you? 🤔

Maths Activity

Today’s activities will be focused on odd and even numbers.

Watch this video on BBC Bitesize and have a go at the activities at the bottom of the page.

Here are a few more activities for you to have a go at:

1. Try this cut and stick activity

Challenge questions:

Can you write an even number between 5 and 10?
Can you write an even number between 3 and 9?
Can you write an odd number between 12 and 16?
Can you write an odd number between 9 and 15?

2. Play this interactive game on the TopMarks website.

3. Go on a walk down the street with your child and look at the house numbers. These will probably be following a pattern of either odd or even numbers. Can your child predict what number will be on the next house? Talk about the pattern.
