Once upon a time…
Super animal alphabets yesterday Class 1! ??????
Listen to the story Animalphabet by Julia Donaldson.
Can you link all your alphabetical animals you did yesterday together using phrases such as…
who is… than a ….
E.g. Who is prettier than an ant? A butterfly
You could have a go at reading your stories to someone in your family or video your story and send it to me!

Well done on the alphabetical ordering yesterday! Some great work.
Today’s challenge is to see if you can think of an animal that begins with every letter in the alphabet!
You can use one of these sheets for recording or just write them out.
Alphabet Art
Have a look at these letters and how they ‘look’ like something that begins with that letter. Can you write out your name or the name of a family member using these arty letters. You could even try and create some new ones of your own if you wanted!
Make a sign for your door maybe or a poster for your wall.
I hope you have had a lovely half term and taken full advantage of the weather. I will continue to post White Rose videos and activities this week along with some other activities which will help you practise the skills you have learnt. Feel free to choose the most suitable for you. Please remember there is no expectation that you complete everything.
Please make sure you read Mrs Gardener’s message about the blog next week.
Maths
This week I would have continued with week 5 of the White Rose Home Learning lessons. However, they cover measures, which we have already completed. There are alternative lessons which I will link to and these cover shape. Please feel free to continue with the week 5 activities if you feel these are suitable for your child and you want them to recap measures.
Today watch the video below. Alternatively, follow the link: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/ Click on week 5 and go to lesson 4 and look for Already covered this content?

Using 3D Shapes
Build your house out of junk. Which shapes do you need to use? You could build your street or the houses of family members. Are they different to yours? How will you use the shapes to build theirs?
Science
This half term you have thought a lot about plants and mini beasts that live in your garden. Today I would like you to use your knowledge and create a miniature garden. You could make it for a mini beast – what would they like in the garden? Think about where they live and their habitat. Do they like it dark or sunny, warm or cool, dry or damp? Or you may just design and create a garden you would like. Here are some ideas:
Don’t forget to send a picture when you have made it!
Welcome back Class 1. We hope you had a lovely half term and enjoyed lots of sunshine!
We should be starting our last term of Class 1 and I am sad we are not in school to do so. Over the next few weeks, more children will be returning to school as will I along with most of the other teachers. Because of this, it would be tricky to keep each class blog going so this is the last week it will work like this and we will be moving to more of a whole school approach next week.
I will post more details about this as the week progresses.
This week we are looking at alphabetical ordering.
Today I want you to find a selection of objects around the house and then put them in alphabetical order.
Think about what letter each item starts with then order them as to where that letter is in the alphabet. The word which has the first letter that appears earlier in the alphabet will come first.
I had a go too…
If you need to recap the alphabet, use this song to help.
Well done on a fantastic half term of learning from home Class 1. So proud of everything you have achieved.

Why not create your own game of Mathopoly and practise your addition and subtraction.

You still managed to lots of great work in the sunshine yesterday!
Can’t quite believe it is Friday again!
In the story The Teeny Weeny Tadpole, all the tadpole wanted to do was jump and leap like his Mum, the lamb, the rabbit and the grasshopper.
Have a think about what it is that you want to be able to do or get better at when you get older. Don’t forget to tell me why you want to be able to do it too!
I wish I could……
I would love to be able to…..
I am going try hard to ………
You can present this in whatever way you like, write about it and draw a picture, video yourself telling me, make a model, anything you like!
This game is a bit of a family tradition for me. You need to make 2 cardboard frogs like this ( fairly stiff card!) Put a hole in the middle and thread some string through. Tie one end to a chair or table leg and hole the other end of the string. Your frog needs to be ‘standing up’ on it’s back legs.
My mum sent me these measurements as a guide!
32cm x 21cm
Body is 15 cm wide.
Head to tail 22.5 Cm.
Hole is 9 Cm from top of head and 6.5 Cm in from armpit!
The aim of the game is to pull and move the string to be the first one to get their frog to the other end (to the chair or table leg!)
Have fun and send me some pictures!

Hope you had lots of fun in the sun yesterday! ☀️
Today I want you to create the life cycle of a frog.
Watch the video so you can see real life tadpoles turn into frogs and then have a go at creating your own life cycle!
Try and think of a fun way you could create your life cycle.
You could use play dough, food, junk modelling, drawing pictures, anything you ca think of!
Here are some ideas that might help you!
Can you do some writing to go with your model or picture explaining each stage.?
Can you complete the sentences and put them in the correct order!
If you can’t print then just write them out from this picture with the missing words and you could draw pictures to go with them!
Here are some fun songs about a frog’s life cycle that you could sing along too!
