Good Morning Year 1 I can't believe we are in April already, this year is going so quickly! I can not wait to see the amazing learning you do this month.

I hope you all had a fabulous day yesterday and managed to complete some super work with your grown-ups. The updates I have received from you all so far have gone in a super picture gallery so look out for your pictures there! Keep up the amazing work!

Yesterday when I got home from school, I made a sunshine picture to go in my window. I read somewhere that in the windows children are changing their pictures from rainbows to a sunshine to give you all something new to spot on your walks. Here is my sunshine picture.

English: From your white English pack look at the shape poems and discuss them with your Grown-ups. What do you like about them? What do you notice? What is the same in them all? What is different?

Copy your favourite shape poem in to your yellow books.

If you would like more information about shape poems, look through the attached presentation where you will find examples of spring themed shape poems and their key features. Looking at this will be useful ready for tomorrow's lesson.

Reading: Make sure you read a book today or have a grown-up read you a story. If you have read all your reading books from school, you can read some of the phonetically decodable comics online. These can be found at www.phonicsplaycomics.co.uk. Also, David Walliams (A well-known children's author) has given you the opportunity every day to receive a short audiobook from his collection of short stories from his book 'The World’s Worst Children!' You can access these at: https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/

Try and remember to record all of your reading in your diary so that we can see how much reading you have done when we come back to school. I can't wait to see how much reading you have done at home!

Maths: I would like you to go on a 3D shape hunt around your house or garden. I would like you to discuss the shapes with your grown-ups. Can you name the shapes you have found? Can you sort them into groups? You could sort them by shape, colour, size, number of sides...there are lots of differnt ways to sort them, be creative!

If you need a reminder about 3D shapes, Watch the short video clip below about different 3D shapes and things that they can look like. I have also put on some pictures of the 3D shapes I found whilst at school today to give you some ideas.
