Good morning year 1,

Today’s activity is all about using adjectives. Watch this video on BBC Bitesize to learn what an adjective is and have a go at the activities on the page.

So remember, an adjective is a describing word. 

Today we will be writing short descriptions of Superworm and Wizard Lizard.

Go through the story and find a picture of Superworm. Can you think of some adjectives to describe him? For example, long and bendy. Make a mind map of your ideas.Don’t forget to describe his looks and personality!

Now have a go at putting some of these words into sentences. E.g. Superworm is long and bendy. Remember to use a capital letter and full stop in every sentence! 

Challenge: Can you using ‘and’ to make your sentences longer like mine?

Now do the same for Wizard Lizard.

A simplification of this task:

If your child struggles to write sentences have them generate some adjectives for both characters (Superworm and Wizard Lizard) and write them down on individual pieces of paper. Then muddle up the words and ask your child to sort them.

Today’s well-being activity focuses on FOOD! 🥗

Evidence suggests that as well as affecting our physical health, what we eat may also affect the way we feel. Improving your diet may help to:

• improve your mood
• give you more energy
• help you think more clearly.

Watch this episode of ‘Get Well Soon’ to learn about the importance of eating healthily.

Have a think about which foods make you feel good and bad. Then have a go at the activity below.

Your Food is a Mood!

Today’s science activity is linked to our story ‘Superworm’.

Follow the instructions on the sheet below to create your very own wormery! This project will show children how worms turn plant waste into soil, introduce them to ‘recycling’ and ‘useful waste’, and encourage them to look closely at worms and other garden wildlife.

Don’t forget to release the worms back into the wild after you’ve finished your experiment.
