Hello Class 1!
Happy Wednesday! In celebration of Children’s Mental Health week, we shall be having a ‘Well-being Wednesday’. It is more important than ever right now to make sure we take care of ourselves and our friends and families, so that we can maintain good mental health. There are lots of ways we can try and achieve this. Here are some nice activity suggestions. Why not find 10-15 minutes each day to try a new activity and see if it helps you to feel good and positive.
Here is the run through for the rest of the day:
9.00- 9.35 Phonics and Early writing:
Join me on Teams, where we will be practicing our tricky words and writing ‘I can see’ sentences about the picture stimulus, using adjectives. i.e. I can see a fat seagull.
Year 1 phonics:
Please follow the link to watch today’s video, where you will be recapping all the alternative ways of writing the ‘oa’ phoneme. Don’t forget to join in with reading and saying the sounds/words.

For your follow up task, I would like you to practice using the different graphemes for the ‘oa’ phonemes to spell common words. Can you write the word to match the picture, using the right sound? Answers are below.

9.50- 10.30 Year 1 Literacy lesson
In Literacy today, we will be writing the bare bones out line of our story version of ‘The Paper bag Princess,’ with our alternative climax and resolution.
10.50- 11.50 Maths Live lesson
In maths, we will continue our work on counting back to subtract, using number tracks, number lines and mental counting back skills.

Year 1 subtraction by counting back crossing 10 answers
For my reception children, I have a game for you to play, called race to space:
If you are going to try the challenges of counting back from 20, why not have a go at making your own number line to 20, or use this one here:
12.00-12.20 Storytime, snack and chat
Afternoon activities:
I’m very excited for this afternoon’s activities and I can’t wait to see what designs you come up with. To celebrate Children’s Mental Health week and the theme ‘Express yourself’, I want you to have a go at expressing yourself and your feelings by upcycling or re-designing an old piece of your clothing. There are lots of things you could do to it, like…creating a tie-dye effect, adding embellishments like pom poms, fringing or sequins, colouring it in with fabric pens or fabric paint or cutting it up to change the style. Let your imagination run wild! I can’t wait to see how you express yourselves with this challenge, so don’t forget to send in a picture of your finished look to class.oneteacher@taw.org.uk, so that I can share your designs on the class page
Have fun!
Miss Latham
