We're Out and About with Poetry!

Today we took our inspiration from the collection of nature poems in the book 'Out and About' by Shirley Hughes. In this video, we recite our favourite poem called Squirting Rainbows. We had lots of fun trying to learn the lines by heart. Why not try learning this poem yourself!

Make a rainbow

This video will show you how to make a rainbow. It’s a bit tricky to see the rainbow in the video so have a try at home and you’ll be able to see all the bright colours clearly.

Good Morning Yoga

Let's slow down the pace, find some peace and practise some yoga postures together. You could try this yoga lesson outside in the sunshine too!

Let's Learn about Capacity

Have you ever wondered how much water can fit inside your water bottle? Watch this video for an introduction to capacity and volume with a very special guest.
*disclaimer* getting hands on with water is highly encouraged after watching this video!

Phonics

Here is a video teaching the AW and AU digraphs.

Repetition Reading

In this video, we model how to carry out repetition reading with your child. By using repetition, children have the opportunity to increase their confidence in reading, it helps to improve their fluency and provides them with a good model for expression.

Nuts for Non-Fiction!

For your home learning this week, we would like you to research a topic you are interested in, such as animals or space, and write a non-chronological report using all the information you find out. Here is a video to show you what a non-chronological report should include. Can you use the shapes to help you write your own?

Road Safety

As we start venturing out and about, it is important that we all stay safe when near roads. Here are some activities to support this.

Comparing numbers

Here’s an example on how to compare numbers using symbols. Have a go and see if you can try the challenge! :)

Who loves a story? We do!

A story time video with your Year 1 teachers reading for you. Enjoy!
