Hello Year One,

I hope that you all had a lovely weekend with your families. We didn’t get any snow over the weekend which I though we might have done. However, the weather man said there is more on its way. So, we have one more week and then half term. This week I have planned lots of exciting tasks for you to complete. We are coming to an end on our Polar Region Adventure. I will hopefully be speaking to you all this morning, I can’t wait! Please find below your lessons and tasks for today.

Enjoy and have fun!

Miss Armstrong

Let's wake up our bodies and start the week strong! 

Phonics

Your Phonics task today will include a Mirror, I have attached a set of high frequency words. You do not have to print these off, you may wish to write these on separate pieces of paper to complete the task. However, if you do this you will notice that the writing is backwards. The words are this way due when you look through the mirror you will see the reflection the correct way.

Have a look at the selection of words through the mirror then write a sentence including the word.

English

Our topic of the Polar Region is slowly coming to an end. This week we are going to focus on creating several facts about the Arctic, Antarctica, different animal as well as lots of amazing facts that you have learnt about or already know.

Each day we will focus on one specific topic and complete a fantastic report. At the end of the week we will put it altogether using your fantastic creative skills.
