Good Morning Year 1 laugh

 

 I hope you all had a fabulous day yesterday and managed to complete some super work with your grown-ups. I just wanted to mention, I am loving the beautiful pictures of your topic work from yesterday, some of you could be superb gardeners in the future! Well done! laugh

 

Yesterday I was enjoying a slice of homemade Victoria sponge leftover from my VE day celebrations and Lola decided she would also like to try some. I let her have a tiny piece as it was made with dog-friendly ingredients so she won't get poorly.

Maths starter:  Today for our maths starter I would like you to watch the following story called 'Give me half' to help you understand further what 1/2 is.

Give Me Half! by Stuart J. Murphy

A MathStart story about understanding halves, read by Janet Ginsburg

Maths:  Today, we are going to be looking again at halving. To help us understand what a 1/2 is we are going to be investigating what halves are in real life and where we may have seen 1/2 before and not known.

 

There is a short presentation for you to look through which shows some real life objects that you may see daily and you need to decide if it has been split into 1/2 or is it not a 1/2. Then there is a worksheet to accompany this that you can download and print if you have a printer, then you need to cut all the objects in 1/2 and mix them up and put them bac together again. If you do not have a printer you can simply draw the objects and show the two seperate halves.

Halves activity

Design and Technlogy: Can you use your design and technology skills to make a moving picture to show jack climbing the beanstalk. We have made a few moving pictures in school this year duirng our space and animals topics so you should be familiar with how they work.

 

All you will need is some pens , paper , scissors and glue or sellotape.

 

I would like you to look through the Presentation below showing you step by step how to make a sliding mechanism picture before having a go so that you can refresh your brains about how to do it as it was a long time since we have made one in class now.

 

Jack and the Beanstalk slider how to guide

The background and picture of jack found in the instructional documents above can be found below in this document. You can either print these and use them or draw your own.

 

(Please Ignore the leavers part as we are making a slider and the website only had Jack and the beanstalk as a leaver.)

 

End of the day story:    The story I have chosen today is to 'say hello to the jungle animals' written by Ian Whybrow and Ed Eaves. I hope you really enjoy today's story, it reminded me of our topic last term.laugh
