Please explore finding groups of ten within larger groups.
Find 20 objects, get your child to investigate how many groups of ten there are within the twenty. Give them time to explore this, encourage them to move the objects so they can physically see two groups of ten. Discuss that the groups must be equal, same number of objects in each.
Show your child there is two groups of ten in twenty. Discuss this verbally or write it down like
I can make ___ groups of ten.
Repeat this with 10 objects and 30 objects.
If your child is finding this difficult, keep repeating the activity using different objects.
If your child has understood this concept you can introduce odd number of objects eg 25 objects.
Discuss if these amounts of objects can be grouped in equal groups of ten?
Discuss and write down as shown below:
I can make____ equal groups of ten. With ____ objects left over.

Last set of multiples we are focusing on ready for next week is….
Counting in twos.
After today your child should be able to use their knowledge of counting in steps of two, five and ten to support with next week. Counting in steps of two and five can be difficult for children so please keep revisiting these with your child.
Can you practise counting in twos with your child, eg 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10…. Once they can confidently do this can you practise counting backwards from 20 down to 0 and expanding this up to 100 (if they can). They will need to be confident with counting in multiples for next week. Don’t worry if they find this challenging keep coming back to counting in different ways.
Please find printable resources (if needed), videos to support counting in 2s and fun games to allow your child to apply what they’ve learnt. Choose one or two of these links to consolidate learning or use these to revisit next week.

Good Morning Year One :)
If you are finding this difficult please don't worry.
Everybody works at a different pace and that is fine. Do what you can and don't give up.
Look at the link below:
We will be using this to support your child to recognise multiplication as repeated addition.
Show your child the ladybird with two spots.
Discuss how many spots the ladybird has- 2
Discuss that 1x2=2
If your child has found the multiplication aspect difficult, please revisit the last week multiplication links to develop your child’s confidence with their times tables.
Please work through the questions with your child, the sheet becomes increasingly difficult. If child reaches a point, they are finding it too difficult, identify the times table they are struggling with and revisit the day from last week for links to support your child with that times table.
Tuesday 31st March 2020.
Rewatch the story with your child.
Discuss the setting with your child.
What is the setting in the story? (under the sea)

Grammar- Adding missing commas.
Thursday 2nd April 2020- Maths
Today we are bringing together everything we have previously learnt this week.
Read the question with your child. Discuss with your child whether they the groups are equal and uneven. Your questions are key in identifying if your child has understood. Get them to explain their answers before writing it down.
We are looking for your child to use their times tables to explain their understanding eg The groupings are equal because Calum had 4 sweets and he shared them into groups of two. I know that double 2 is four and that 2x2 is 4. This will require you to discuss this with your child because they will most likely answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
Thursday 2nd March 2020- English
Writing our own story.
Having explored our story, The Bravest Fish. Today your child will write their own version of the bravest fish. They will change the type of animal the main character is- keeping the animal as an underwater character but changing to a different type like a dolphin.
Get your child to rewrite the story with slight changes if they feel the need. Let your child do this as independently as the can. Be there to encourage and support with Fred Talking their words rather then telling them their spellings.
Once they have wrote their story keep it safe as we will be using it for tomorrow’s lesson.
A big well done to Year One for writing their first story at home with their grown-ups!
Keep the stories safe as I can’t wait to read them when we’re back!
Grammar- Complete the sentences
Get your child to write the sentence below. Encourage them to write at least three colours. Once the sentence is written if they have not included a comma go back over and explain as it is a list sentence therefore, they need to include a comma.
My favourite colours are_________.
Friday 3rd April 2020
Today will be introducing division.
Start by showing your child the video below:
Then work through the questions which will gradually introduce division to your child.

12÷4= 3
3x4=12
Friday 3rd March 2020- English
Editing our stories.
Our focus at the moment is developing your child’s ability to edit their own work. This is a very difficult skill as your child will be very proud of their achievement and identifying things, they need to improve on is difficult for everyone!
At school we have editing glasses so for five minutes tell your child to put on their ‘imaginary editing glasses’ and read through their story.
If your child spends three seconds skim reading their work this is fine, don’t panic!
Tell your child to go back through their work and tell them to find where they have missed a ___ (capital letter, full stop, finger space)
Once your child has had some time to do this on their own. Sit with your child and read through their writing with them, hearing somebody else read their work sometimes identifies where they have missed something. Once we have read through their work, we usually choose a coloured pencil and will highlight a mistake or somewhere we think they could improve their writing eg a better adjective or changing the phrasing of a sentence.
When highlighting the mistake, we ask the child “why do you think I have underlined this?” This supports your child to think about what it is they need to change.
Repeat this maximum of five times with your child.
Once you have finished editing, spend some time telling your child different parts of their writing you really liked and things that have made you proud.
Grammar- Write sentences with a list of:
Don’t forget your commas!
Spelling test time- Get your grown up to test you on your spellings from last week.
Easter Holidays- There will be no new work set over the Easter holidays- all previous work will be left on here if you would like to come back to any lessons or if you haven't worked through them all.
Please continue to ensure you are reading every day with your child, practising their spellings and times tables.
If your child can confidently read the books provided by school have a look at the links on the useful websites tab to find a set of websites offering E books for your child to access.
We will continue with our daily lessons after the holidays,
Don’t forget to go to our class page to find this week’s spellings!
Enjoy your Easter holidays Year One, keep yourselves safe and keep making me very proud!

This is a good opportunity to do some baking or cutting your lunch and dinner into half.
Tuesday 21st April 2020
Good morning Year One, It was lovely to speak to so of you yesterday! I am very proud of all of you.I know the website was not working yesterday so if you're a day behind don't worry!
English
Following on from your research yesterday I want you to plan your leaflet.
Can you think fo an interesting Title?
Remember to think about how you are going to group your facts- Can you group them by habitat? Food? Facts about the size of elephants?
Write out your facts in groups about the same theme and think about a brilliant subheading for this section.
Can you find or draw some good pictures you might use in your leaflet.
The planning stage is the perfect time to practise fitting our writing onto a leaflet wthout worrying about how neat it looks or if we get it wrong.
Grammar-Possesive Nouns
Add an apostrophe to the possesive noun in each sentence.
1. The girls notebook was in her pocket.
2.Nadias wish came true.
3. Tamara did not like Amys cat.
4.The old mans gloves were lost.
Maths- Today we will continue looking at finding half.
Today I want you to find half of the numbers below.
Yesterday we looked at finding half of shapes or objects, if you found this difficult keep practising!
1) 2
2) 4
3)10
4)20
5)18
6)2
It may be that you need to use resources to show half of these numbers so you can see two groups of equal numbers.
If you have confidently done this you may want to find some larger numbers above twenty.
Wednesday 22nd April 2020
English
Today you will be writing up your leaflets. Use your plans you made yesterday to create a leaflet all about Elephants.
Focus on your writing. Create your heading and subtitles with your information clearly displayed underneath.

Maths
Today we are going to explore finding a quarter. This can be challenging so don't worry if it takes some time.
Introduce finding a quarter using objects such as fruit to model cutting up into four pieces, discuss with your child that they are equal pieces.
Introduce the term 1/4 and spend some time allowing your child to explore finding 1/4 of different shapes and objects. If you are struggling with physical objects to use you could draw some 2D shapes for your child to practise with.
After exploration please play the game below with your child to develop their confidence. This game does introduce 3/4 and revisits 1/2 so these are key talking points with your child.
Please find visual resources to use with your child if needed below.

Activitiy: Find 1/4 of the numbers below- The best way to do this is using objects so for example
If your number is 12- Find 12 objects, explain you are finding 1/4- To do this we need equal groups- Let your child split the objects into equal group questioning them and guiding them along.
Once you have your groups you can check they have equal amounts and show them that 1/4 of 12 is 3!
Once you visual have these groups you can take this opportunity to talk about 2/4 and 3/4
