Hello everyone I hope you have had a lovely weekend!
This week we start another live session at 9.15 so we’ll be seeing even more of each other which is just great. I will continue to add Maths and English posts to the blog for those of you who can’t make our live sessions.
Due to further timetable changes at school I will now be able to do “live phonics” on a Tuesday too.
In our catch up session this afternoon we will be playing a maths bingo game so you will need your white board and pen…and of course your brilliant brain!
Maths
If you are unable to make the live stream at 9.15 please follow the lesson outline below.
This week in maths we are beginning to look at larger numbers.
Helpful Resources:
- 40 small objects. You can use anything… pasta shapes, lego bricks or small pebbles! (please keep ready for the next few lessons).
- Ten Frames. You can draw these yourselves on some paper or follow the link below to a printable version.
Have a look at the picture below. If possible provide your child with 23 small
objects.
Can you find out how many pebbles there are? Which is the best way to do this?
It can take a long time to count each pebble individually (one to one correspondence), can you think of a better way? Let’s use a ten frame to help us. How does the ten frame help us count?
When we count larger numbers it is very helpful to make groups of ten first and then count the ones. Have a go at the practice questions below and then complete pages 1-4 in your Maths No Problem Workbook 2. This is the first time we will be using this book!
Remember to get your numbers round the right way! Good Luck!
Phonics
If you can’t join in with our live session at 11 then please watch Lesson 11 of the Year 1 Spring Term lessons where you will learn all about the -le sound as in little and bubble.

Art
For this week’s art activity we would like you to create a model of a castle or a tower using the cardboard tubes and boxes you have been collecting. Try adding details such as windows, flags, turrets and battlements to make your model authentic! If you’d like to send a photo of your model to year1@damers.dorset.sch.uk we’d love to see them! Here are some ideas to get you started…
