Friday January 29th

Good Morning! I look forward to seeing you for maths, phonics and our catch up. Don’t forget you can dress up for this if you want! In our phonics session you will need to have six pieces of scrap paper – they don’t need to be big, about the size of a post it note (if you have post it notes you could use those).

Maths

In today’s maths lesson we’ll be putting into practice some of the skills we have learnt this week. If you can’t join us at 9.15 for the live session, please download the PDF below to see what you need to do!

Maths Challenge Time!

If you would like a fun challenge have a go at filling in the missing numbers below. You don’t need to record your ideas, just explain your reasoning to an adult!

Phonics

If you can’t join in with our live session at 11 then please watch Lesson 20 of the Year 1 Spring Term Lessons which is a review of this week’s learning.

Today in the live lesson we will be learning a couple more tricky words. Here is a sheet that has lots of ideas that might help you learn them. I did send it home at the start of the year but you may have lost or forgotten it.

Harmony

We hope you had fun exploring colour-mixing during your art lesson earlier in the week!

Today we will be looking at the different colours created by Russian artist Kandinsky in one of his most famous paintings. You can see it below and also have a look at this short clip by clicking on the link:

Can you spot some circles that are the primary colours (red, yellow and blue)? Which colours do you think Kandinsky mixed to create some of the other circles?

Now it’s your turn – use paint, crayons, pastels, playdough or felt tips to have a go at creating some concentric circles using your own mixed colours. 

Please share a photo of your work at year1@damers.dorset.sch.uk and we will try to join all our pieces of art together to create a class display!
