 Starter

To start us off can we work out if this statement is true or false? Can you explain your reasons?

 

Today we are going to begin by comparing numbers to 100. We will be using terms such as: more than, less than, greater than. We will also be using these symbols to compare < and > and =. Remember the wider part points to the greater number, e.g. 47>13, so 47 is greater than 13. In this example, 32 is less than 86, 32<86.  

We will be exploring the tens and ones value chart.

SPAG

Today we are going to recap when we use capital letters and full stops. Can you tell your grown up, how do you know when a sentence is finished? Can you write the following sentences in your books/ on paper? Don’t forget to add capital letters in the correct places and a full stop at the end of the sentence.

Capital letters and full stops PDF 

This week we are going to be looking at a new book, which is related to our ‘Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!’ topic. First have a look at the following images. What do you notice? What is the same and what is different?

   

 

Let’s have a think of the following questions:

What do you know about lighthouses?

Where are they built?

Why are they built there?

Explain that now all lighthouses can be operated without any people, but in the past people had to look after the lighthouses.

Let’s think about this question: what kinds of jobs might a lighthouse keeper need to do? Can you write a list of the jobs they might need to do?

We are going to read ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s lunch’.  It is about how a lighthouse keeper and his wife solved a problem.

We will read the story tomorrow. But today we need to have a look at some of the vocabulary which is a bit tricky: perched, gusto, concocting, ingenious, baffle, accomplished, brazen, devoured, varmints, scavenging and industrious. Even Mrs Heywood is finding the words too tricky! So today I would like you to work with a grown up to research what the words mean. Can you say it? Can you hear it in a sentence? Can you think of a word which is similar to this word?

Here is an online dictionary to help you.

Today we are going to recap partitioning numbers into tens and ones. This helps us work out the value of a number by identifying each digits value. Please watch the video below. Have a pen and some paper ready. You can pause the video to work out the answers.

Teacher input video

 

Activity

For this activity you will need the following resources:

• Sticks, about 6 (these will be used to represent a ten) or something similar (long pieces of lego/ pipe cleaner/ lollypop stick).
• Stones (these will be small to represent a ‘one’) or something similar (small square lego, a gem).
• A tens and ones sheet like below.
• Two dice (can use one on computer/ phone)

Children will roll the dice, e.g. 4 and 6. Can the children make the number with the tens and ones? E.g. place 4 ten sticks on the tens column and 6 ones (stones) on the ones column. Can you count it to check? Count the tens first, 10, 20, 30, 40. Then count in ones, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46. What is the number you have made?

Repeat with different numbers.

 

Challenge!

When you have made a number, can you explore the following?

• What is 10 more than the number?
• What is 10 less than the number?
• What is one more/ one less?

Science

This half term we are looking at our wonderful weather and examining the seasons. To start off with can we have a look in your garden. What is the weather like today? Can we consider these questions: What was I expecting today when I went to watch the weather? Was I surprised by it? What season are we in? What is the weather normally like at this time of year?

Consider together these questions: What do we expect the weather to be like tomorrow? How can we tell? (It has got colder throughout the day, it has started to rain, the weather forecast this morning said it would change, etc.) Let’s think about the word 'season' and what is meant by it. Can the children name any of them.? Can we write each season on a piece of paper? One each paper can we add your thoughts, facts and ideas? So, if you know a fact about summer, or you have a memory, go to the 'summer' table and write a couple of words or draw a picture.

What is the current season? Identify it as 'summer' and ask: What sort of colours do we need if we are going to do some art about our season? What can we see around us that reminds us that it is summer? Can we share our ideas for a summer collage? Then show the resources and can the children make a 'summer' collage. In the resource there are some images to prompt thought and give ideas for recreating summer scenes.

 

Storytime

We have a story to finish off the day. It is called ‘Brenda is a sheep’. Well done Year 1 for working so hard!

 

Summer 2 topic

 Oh I do like to be beside the seaside! 

Week 1 question: Where are our seasides?

This week we will be introducing the children to our new topic, 'Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!' We will be looking at things that we would find at the seaside. We will be investigating different art techniques to create features of the seaside. 

Week 2 question: What are the features of the seaside?

This week we will be looking at the features of the seaside. We will be investigating whether they are man made or natural. We will be looking at an aerial photograph and labelling the different features we can see. 

Week 3 question: Where can we go on holiday in the UK?

This week we will be looking at the map of the UK seaside resorts and looking at a compass.  We will be investigating different compass directions. We will discuss which direction we will take to reach the coast.   We will be naming the main seaside towns in each country and looking at the location on the coast.  

Week 4 question: What were the seasides like in the past?

This week we will be looking at how the seaside was different in the past. We will be looking at how people used the seaside in the Victorian times. We will be comparing and contrasting to the seaside now. 

Week 5 question: What is an island?

 

How could we describe islands?  How is an island different from the mainland?  How do people get to an island?  What types of transport would be used to get to the island?  What transport would be used on the island itself? We will discuss houses, physical landscape, people and traffic.  Compare the islands with their own locality.

Week 6 question: How are sand sculptures made?

We will be exploring the artist Andres Amador, and the pictures and patterns he creates in the sand using a rake.  We will be creating our own sand sculptures. 

Week 7 question: What are lighthouses for and how do they work?

 

This week we will be exploring a famous person from the past, Grace Darling. We will be learning about her famous rescue from the lighthouse. We will also be making our own lighthouse.
