Good morning, Year 1! I hope you’re all well and are enjoying the home learning tasks. Remember, this is new for your parents/carers too, so make sure you’re following instructions – just like you would in school. We’ve all got to stick together!
Before I move onto today’s new learning tasks, I would like to revisit some of yesterday’s learning. For your history task, I asked you to write some sentences about the old and new teddies. Below, is the sentences that I wrote:
Teddy 1 is the oldest because it doesn’t have much fur.
Teddy 1 is oldest because it is hard.
Teddy 1 is the oldest because it is worn.
Teddy 2 is the newest because it is not worn
Teddy 2 is the newest because it has lots of fur.
Teddy 2 is the newest because it is very soft.
Check if my sentences are similar to yours. If you have different sentences to me, I would love to see them.
Here are today’s tasks:
History
In the last history session, I told you that the oldest teddy belonged to my grandad.
Here is a picture of my grandad holding his teddy that he has had since he was born – a very long time ago! No wonder it looks so worn, hey?
Well, as my grandad (and many other elderly people) will be feeling lonely at this time, I thought it might be a good idea for you to ask him some questions about his teddy. Write your questions in your book and if you would like to, email them to me and I will ring him to find out the answers. This will give him a little bit of company and put a big smile on his face.
Remember:
- capital letters
- finger spaces
- question marks
Maths
In maths, we are carrying on with addition. 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 add together. Then, I have written the calculation.
13 + 5 =
Remember to put the biggest number first in the calculation to make it easier for you.
To solve the calculation, put the first number in your head and count on the second number.
For this calculation, I put 13 in my head and counted on 5 (use fingers if needed) to get the answer 18.
You can also use objects to help you.
