Good morning, Year One!
Before we move on to today’s task, I want to say well done for settling back into home learning so well after the Easter break. I’ve had some fantastic reports from your parents! Keep it up 🙂
Now, onto today’s tasks…
Reading
Today’s reading task is phonics.
The list of words below all contain the ‘ai’ phoneme. However, ‘ai’ is represented in many different graphemes.
Your task is to read the words and sort them into the correct grapheme.


Maths
Today’s maths task is ordering numbers within 50.
In today’s task we will be ordering numbers using the language, ‘largest’, ‘smallest’, ‘more than’, ‘less than’, ‘least’, ‘most’ and ‘equal to’.
I’m going to order the numbers below from largest to smallest using inequality symbols.
> largest to smallest
25 36 41 40
I’m going to look for which number has the most tens. That’s 41 and 40 as they both have 4 tens. Because they both have the same amount, I’m going to look at the ones column. 41 has one one and 40 has zero ones. Therefore, 41 is the larger number. Then I look at the next two numbers. 36 has more tens than 25 so that must be the next biggest. Finally, 25 is the last number I have and it has the least tens.
41 > 40 > 36 > 25
Have a go at the ones below, ordering them from greatest to smallest using the inequality sign.
49 32 23 12
28 21 36 47
26 11 31 40
20 30 45 25
Now, I’m going to order the numbers below from smallest to largest using equality symbols
< smallest to largest
19 29 31 17
I’m going to do the opposite of what I did last time. I’m going to look for which number has the least tens. That is 19 and 17. They both have the same tens so I’m going to look to see which one has less ones. 7 is less than 9 so 17 must be the smallest number. Then, I look at the next two numbers. 29 has less tens than 31 so that is the next smallest number. 31 is the number that is left. It is also the largest because it has the most tens.
17 < 19 < 29 < 31
Have a go at the ones below, ordering them from greatest to smallest using the inequality sign.
13 31 45 21
41 34 29 19
17 18 28 10
49 39 24 42
Challenge:
Fill in the missing numbers.
34 > __ > 12 > 4
__ > 31 > __ > 22
12 < 24 < __ < 45
__ < 23 < __ < 31
Music
I’m sure you’re all missing music lessons on a Wednesday afternoon!
To keep your singing voices in tune (just like mine), follow the link below and complete the music lesson.

It would be great to see some of your singing efforts.
Good luck, Year One!
