Can you write your name?

See if you can think of a different way to do it each day.

You could use chalk, gel pens, crayons, felt tips, biros and more…

If you are confident writing your first name, perhaps you could practise your middle name and last name

too!

Try to make sure you start each letter in the right place!

You could even make it fun and messy and write in shaving foam, flour, mud or paint!!

R/1 Maths - Capacity

Capacity is how much a container can hold.The bigger the container, the more capacity it has. We usually use capacity to talk about liquid.

A litre is a lot of liquid. These containers hold litres of liquid.

When we measure, we use units so we can compare, and talk about them with other people. These units are

called 'litres'(l) and 'millilitres' (ml)

This bottle holds one litre (l)

The word 'litre' can be shown 'l'

A millilitre is a small amount of liquid. These containers hold

millilitres of liquid.

This spoon holds 5millilitres. (ml)

The word 'millilitres' can be shown 'ml'

R/1 Maths- Capacity

by adding spoonfuls of different items

(such as water, squash, honey, sugar or

snow!) to a cup or bowl.

show the number of spoonfuls

needed?

Y1 Phonics - our new ways to write the same sound...

This week we have learnt about the /igh/ and /oa/ families, focusing on the single letters 'i' and 'o'!

Phonics- Year 1

These are the words we aim to read and write by the end of Year 1. We can't sound them out, so we need to learn them by sight.

We will focus on a few words each week!

Do refer back to this page if you are trying to spell any of these words!

Phonics Year 1

Today we are going to be

exploring some polysyllabic

words containing the new 'o'

spelling of the /oa/ sound.

Polysyllabic Words

Polysyllabic words have more than one part, or 'beat' to them, when we say them. We practise this at school by clapping once for each part of the word.

Words with one syllable = mum, cat, house

Polysyllabic words = chicken (2 syllables-chick/en), elephant (3 syllables- el/e/phant)

Phonics Year 1

Practise clapping out some polysyllabic words!

This helps us to write longer words and break them down into manageable chunks.

Say the words to match these pictures, and clap for each part e.g. cat/er/pill/ar.

You can also do this for names in your family!

Polysyllabic Words

Polysyllabic words have more than one part, or 'beat' to them, when we say them. We practise this at school by clapping once for each

opening

Phonics- Year 1

Can you read these polysyllabic words containing the new way to say the /oa/ sound? You may want to try making an 'o' sound and an

'oa' sound to see which sounds right in each word. Use the sound buttons to help you- they are orange when you need to need the

new pronunciation of 'i' or 'o'.

oa, oe, o-e,

o

We can spell the /oa/ sound all these ways!

Today we are going to learn this way - 'o' as in 'go'.

Phonics Year 1

All of these words are polysyllabic, and have more

than one part to them. They all have the 'o' spelling

of the /oa/ sound.

Phonics-Year 1 Sentence Challenge

Can you draw a picture to match this sentence?

The orange sound buttons are to help you remember when you need

the /oa/ sound for the letter 'o'!

Mum will do the tango in a hot

volcano!

Phonics- Year 1

Play 'Acorn Adventures' on Phonics Play, with either 'i' or 'o'.

Acorn Adventures (phonicsplay.co.uk)

Carefully read each word on the acorn and decide if you think it makes the 'o' sound in words like 'hot' or the 'oa' sound in words

like 'no'.

See if the squirrels like your reading...!
