Good morning, Year 1!
Where is the time going? That’s nearly two weeks of home learning done! What an amazing job you’re all doing. Thank you for all the emails you’ve continued to send – It’s been lovely to see how you’re all keeping busy during this strange time.
I’ve used this opportunity to do a lot more exercise. As I’ve said, I’ve also been reading lots – mainly non-fiction books, as I love to learn new things. My cooking skills have also become a lot better whilst I’ve been at home.
Keep safe and keep smiling, Year One. If you want to share more things with me, remember, you can email me at: [email protected]
Onto today’s tasks:
Writing/spelling
In today’s writing task, I want you to learn tricky words listed below:
once
says
said
our
love
I want you to learn the spellings using the speed write method.
For the speed write method, choose a word and see how many times you can write it in one minute. Repeat this for the other words.
Once you’ve done this, write each word into a sentence.
Challenge: Can you use ‘and’ in your sentences?
Reading
Today’s reading task is again, phonics.
Segment and blend the words below. To help you segment the words, write them in your book and put sound buttons underneath them.
Once you have read the words, draw a picture of each one.

joy
shirt
dolphin
toe
mouth
Maths
In maths, we are carrying on with subtraction. Today’s task is to read (or ask an adult to read) the word problems below, identify the calculation and answer it.
E.g.
As you can see, I have circled the numbers that I need to subtract. Then, I have written the calculation.
9 – 5 =
Remember to always put the biggest number first in the calculation .
To solve the calculation, put the first number in your head and count back the second number.
For this calculation, I put 9 in my head and counted back 5 (use fingers if needed) to get the answer 4.
You can also use objects, bridging through 10 or the drawing and crossing out method to help you solve the problems.
