Here I worked out the answer to Q1. I drew my coins in 5's, as I knew that 5 was the number each pirate wanted. I counted in groups of 5 until I got to 35 (the total of coins.) Then I circled the coins in 5's to highlight what each pirate would have and altogether there were 7 groups of 5 coins, so 7 pirates would get 5 coins each.
RE challenge- Today, we are going to begin our new topic called, ‘Easter- Celebrating new life and new beginnings.’ For this lesson, we are going to look at ‘Spring’. (We will come back to this in a couple of weeks too). Firstly, I would like you to go outside on a walk.

Mrs Green
Literacy challenge- For the first part of today's task, I would like you to re-read the PowerPoint below, which shows an original version of the Little Red Riding Hood story.
Once you have looked at the PowerPoint, complete the activity below. There are lots of words, which can be used to describe the characters or something which can be associated with them. You need to cut them out and stick them next to the correct character. Some of the words could describe more than one character, so in this instance, you just need to choose one.
Once you have watched the video, there are two worksheets below, which you can choose from to complete. Doubling to 10 or doubling to 20. One is easier than the other, so it is up to you (feel free to complete both.) You need to draw on the other side of the dominoes then count how many dots there are altogether and that will give you the answer.
Have a look at the example below, if you need to see what your worksheet should look like.
PE challenge- As always, I will provide you with three possible options that you may want to complete, for your PE lesson today. For the first option, you can complete one of PE lessons from Premier Sport. Information on this can be found on the main section of our class page (before clicking on the home learning star).

Literacy challenge- For your English work today, I would like you to look at/read the openers of the sentences that have been provided for you. I then want you to have a go at finishing the sentence. Make sure you think about the sentence first, say it out loud (to check that it makes sense) and then write it down.
I had a go at finishing the first sentence below. Can you make your sentence better than mine? :)
Maths challenge- For this task, we are going to continue to look at our work on place value. Today, we are going to focus on using the Base 10 equipment (sticks and beans) to identify the two digit number. Can you work out the numbers below? Remember, the sticks are worth 10 and the beans are worth 1.
Now have a go at this worksheet. You need to work out how many 10s and 1s there are, add them together and that will give you the two digit number.
Have a look how I completed Q1, if you need some support.
Phonics challenge- For your final challenge today, I would like you to do some more work on the 'ew' phase 5 sound that we covered during our Phonics lesson this morning. There are two 'ew' tasks below, which you can complete. You can do one of them or both, it is up to you! The first one you have to identify all the real words and all the fake words. You can colour them in two different colours, so that you can easily spot them. Be careful, the 'ew' diagraph can be pronounced in two different ways. See the PowerPoint under today's date for more support.
The second task requires you to be a detective. You need to have a look at the postcard and spot as many 'ew' words as you can? Don't forget to try to read them too. How many can you find? Good luck!
Don't forget to practise your spellings too :) Today is your final opportunity to practise them, as your spellings will be tested tomorrow morning and new spellings will be posted.
Once again, I hope that you all enjoy completing the challenges today. See you tomorrow on Zoom at 9am, for our final online lesson of the week.

Literacy challenge- Today, I would like you to help Prince Charming by creating a missing poster, to support his search for Cinderella. You need to fill in the relevant information and draw a picture, so that people know who they are looking for. (Please complete only Page 1 from the PDF's below.)
I have had a go at some of the sections below. Can you complete them all? (Some of the information you may need to make up. Make sure that you make good guesses.)
Once you have watched the videos, complete the sequencing worksheets below. Before you fill in the missing numbers, you need to work out what the pattern in. You can do this by looking at numbers that are next to each other. What pattern do they jump in? Do they numbers count forwards or backwards? Use your 100 square from Monday's lesson to help you.
RE challenge- For our lesson today, we are going to continue to look at friendship. However today, we are going to look at Jesus’ special friendships.
Firstly, have a think about the two questions below:
How did Jesus make friends?
Why did people make friends with Jesus?
Jesus had many friends but there were twelve men that he chose to be his special friends. This group are known as Jesus’ Disciples.
Alternative you can have a look at the PowerPoint below. This will also tell you some more information about how Jesus chose his Disciples.
Then complete the worksheet below. You need to think about how the Disciples might have been feeling when Jesus asked them to follow him. What would they think and why?
I had a go at the thought bubbles too. Do you think the same or different as me?
Once you have completed the task above, have a go at writing down the names of Jesus' 12 Disciples. Make sure they all begin with a capital letter, as they are all proper nouns.
Once you have watched the video above, I would like you to read the fact file below, which tells you all about Queen Elizabeth II (you may need a grown-up to help you). Then answer the questions about the fact file.
If you are printing the task from the PDF below, you only need pages 1 and 2, which have 1 star at the bottom. Don't complete the other pages.
Don't forget to practise your spellings too! :)
I hope that you enjoy completing today's challenges Year One. See you all tomorrow at 9 o'clock on Zoom. Keep on working hard!

Then have a look at the hundred square below. You will notice that some of the numbers are missing. Can you fill them in? Make sure you are writing you numbers the correct way round Year One.
For an extra Maths challenge, complete the worksheet below. This one also focuses on parts of a hundred square. Once you have completed the top section, be careful doing the bottom part as some of the sequencing is in different jumps. Use your completed hundred square to help you, good luck.
Science Challenge- Today we are going to continue our Science work from our ‘Treasure Island’ topic. On the last day before we finished to stay at home, we looked at and discussed four different shelters (below). We decided which one would be best to protect us from the wind, rain and animals.
After a class discussion, we all decided that the second shelter would be the most effective.
For your Science task today, I would like you to build/create a shelter. If you don’t have the equipment to build one (lego etc), you can design/draw one on a piece of paper.
When building/designing your shelter you need to thing about 3 key things:

Literacy Challenge- Look what has appeared in our classroom Year One! Its a fairy door :o There was also this letter with it.... lets have a look.
Once you have read the letter, complete the worksheet below. You need to have a guess about what creature you think is behind the door?
Once you have watched the timer, have a go at the worksheet below. You are going to complete several activities based around things you can go in one minute. Firstly, estimate how many times you can do the activity (in the first box), then have a go and write the answer (in the second box).
ICT challenge- Today, you are going to have a go at typing. This activity can either be done on a keyboard (laptop/computer) or on a phone/Ipad/tablet (which includes the type function.)
Firstly, answer the questions below:
What have you noticed about the keyboard already?
What strategies do you use for finding keys?
What difficulties have you encountered?
The best way to type is to use all their fingers, with fingers resting just above the ‘home’ keys (A, S, D, F and J, K, L and ;). Many people don’t learn to type this way at first but develop their own way of remembering where the keys are.
Your first challenge is to type a message to me (or your grown up). Repeat several times, if time allows.
You can tell me some news, write me a personal message or even type a few sentences. Challenge yourself children!
Once you have done this, look at some of the important keys on a computer keyboard. Show that to get capital letters you should hold down the Shift key and tap the letter key.
Don't forget to send me your messages and I will write one back 
Don't forget to practise your spellings too!
Well done for completing all the challenges today. Keep on working hard Year One!
If you want to practise your Phonics after the Zoom lesson, you can all go onto Phonics Play, the link is above or you could play some maths games on Top Marks (for example hit the button).

Today I would like you to design a pair of new shoes.
Think carefully about these things:
- What is the purpose of your new shoes, what will you be using them for, when will you be wearing them? Are they for sports, for running, for a party, for comfort?
- What will your shoes be made out of? Will they be shiny, fluffy, stretchy, wooden, waterproof?
- What will your new shoes look like? What colour will they be, will they be more than one colour? What style will they be?
- Who are you designing your new shoes for? Are they for you, or are they for one of the creatures in the story or maybe another mini beast or animal?
Once you have thought about these questions and decided, I would like you to draw a picture of your new shoes and label them to say what they are made of and explain all the different parts.

Have a look at these poems about under the sea.
Sea Creatures by Meish Goldish
Come along, come with me,
Take a dive in the deep blue sea.
Put on your gear, let’s explore
All the way to the ocean floor!
See that snail wrapped in curls?
Look! An oyster wearing pearls!
Watch the octopus oh so dark,
But don’t you dare to pet the shark!
Dive on down, seaward bound,
Motion in the ocean is all around!
Dive on down, seaward bound,
Motion in the ocean is all around.
Now we’re very far below,
The lantern fish are all aglow.
Is that a tiny shock you feel?
You just met an electric eel!
Giant blue whales start to stir,
Bigger than dinosaurs ever were!
Wave goodbye to the squid and sponge,
This is the end of our deep-sea plunge!
Dive on down, seaward bound,
Motion in the ocean is all around!
Dive on down, seaward bound.
Motion in the ocean is all around.
Today I would like you to have a go at writing an acrostic poem. Look at the pictures to explain what an acrostic poem is and how to write one.
Now have a go at writing your own Acrostic Poem. If this is too tricky, have a go at writing a normal poem about the ocean and under the sea like the ones I have shown you today. Remember if you send me pictures of your work, I will put it on the website for everyone to see.
As today is Fun Time Friday, we couldn’t go without a song could we!
Click on the link below. This is a really fun song about the ocean, there are so many words, see if you can learn it and maybe you could make up some dances for each of the sea creatures that are mentioned in the song. Have fun!

Good morning Year 1.
This morning for your EMA I would like you to look at the shapes. You are going to find half of each shape. Remember that if a shape is split into 2 equal parts then each part is a half. 2 halves make one whole. If the shape is split into 2 parts but the parts are not equal (the same) then the parts are not halves.
I will give you the answers with your EAA.

Today we are going to start off with another underwater story. Today’s story is called ‘The Bravest Fish’ by Matt Buckingham.
Click on the link below to see the story.

Stanley was a very brave little fish when he was left all alone. He went on an adventure to try and find them. On the way he came across lots of scary creatures. He saw the lobster who was counting his money, his reflection in a shiny pearl and a huge scary shark.
Today I would like you to write a new adventure for Stanley. In the story Stanley woke up late and was late for school so his friends went on the trip without him.
Think of another problem that Stanley could have.
Who does Stanley meet on his new adventure, are they scary, are they friendly, do they help him or does Stanley have to try and escape from them?
I can’t wait to see your stories and to find out what Stanley gets up to on his new adventures. Have fun. Remember to start your sentences with a capital letter. Remember your finger spaces and to form your letters correctly making your writing as neat as possible.

I will give you the answers with your EAA.
Our Story today is called 'A Whale's Tale'
The story we are going to watch today is a story without words but it has a very powerful message. It is called ‘A Whale’s Tale’ It is quite a sad story but unfortunately it is very true. Click on the link below to see the story.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFPoIU5iiYQ
Look carefully. What do you notice happening in the story? It is a story about pollution and how sadly people are not recycling their rubbish they are throwing it into the ocean.
What did you notice happening to the animals in the story because of the pollution? Talk to your grown up about it.
For your activity today I would like you to make a poster which encourages people to stop polluting the oceans. To recycle their rubbish and not throw it into the ocean as it harms the animals. On your poster you could show people what happens to the poor animals when they get tangled in the rubbish.
As a challenge, if you would like to, you could make a short video telling people about the importance of keeping our oceans clean. You could send me your videos and I will put them on the website. Be creative! You could make it like a news report. Have fun!
As a DT project you could make a model out of recycled items. Can you make you model on an Ocean theme to match our theme for the week? I'd love to see pictures of your models so don't forget to email me pictures of them.

I have a little surprise for you today. If you go onto the children's pages section of the website and then click on school videos and then the Year 1 section, I have done a little video for you to see. I hope you enjoy it! 
I had a lovely surprise when I got home from school last night. I had two emails, one from Emily and one from Alannah. They both sent me some lovely pictures so that we can see what they have been up to. Emily has been busy baking rhubarb crumble and I was really pleased to see how hard she has been working on her handwriting when she sent me her dragon description. See what you think, I think she is doing really well and deserves a big thumbs up!
Have you seen how much Alannah's Bean plant has grown? She has now planted it in the garden. It looks amazing. I wonder how tall it will grow and I wonder if there will be any Giant's living at the top like Jack's Beanstalk!

I am really sorry that I didn't get to see all of you, some of you were not at home when I called but I spoke to lots of your grown ups and they said you were doing very well.
Have a look at the pictures below and see how many of your friends you can spot.

Albie your bean plant looks great too!
Lewis was at his dad's when I called round but his mum face timed him so we could still say hi. Can you spot him on his mum's phone?
Hello from Year 1
Layla sent me a lovely email with some photos to show all the things she has been busy doing. Layla made a Snail World where she kept some snails for a while before they went back off to the wild.

Good morning Year 1
It looks like it is going to be a nice day today!
Here are some tips to help you with your EMA this morning.
In the Grammar and Punctuation section, a suffix is a group of letters that goes at the end of a word to change its meaning. For example: -ing, -er, -ed
Remember we need to use capital letters at the beginning of all sentences and for all proper nouns like names of people and places.
The rest of the questions you should be able to do by yourself. Have a go.
1. Circle the suffix in each sentence below:
He is playing in the garden.
The cat is faster than the dog.
He is going to work.
2. Rewrite the sentences below putting the capital letters in the right places.
sam and sara are friends.
i am very happy today.
alex and i went swimming on tuesday.
3. Write a sentence for each of these words.
hat:
rat:
sat:
maths
1. A toy car costs 9p. How much do two cars cost?
2. Write down the next number in this sequence:
5, 7, 9, 11, ______
3. Draw a clock that shows 10 o’ clock?
4. 9 + 4 =
5. 15 - 8 =
6. Half of 6 =
Here is your activity for today
Today we are still going to be Geographers.
Think about the fact file that you did yesterday. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where did you choose to go? Today I would like you to think about all the interesting facts that you found out. Make a postcard and write it, pretending that you have visited the place that you researched yesterday.
Good afternoon Year 1
I hope you have had a good morning?

Good Afternoon Year 1
Still no sign of the sunshine.
How are you getting on with your activities? What else have you been doing?
I had a email from Emily to say that she is feeling much better and her face looks much better now after falling off her bike. She now has a new helmet which is good news and her mummy and daddy also bought her a cycling jersey. She sent me some pictures, she looks very smart. Emily was also very busy on VE Day and she made a huge flag which she put up in her window. Did any of you make flags and bunting too for VE Day?
I have put Emily's pictures below for you to see.

Good morning year 1
It's the start of another new week.
I hope you had a lovely weekend. Did you celebrate VE Day? What did you do?
Here is your EMA
Here are some quick activities for you to do. Before you start read the tips and then have a go at answering the questions below.
Grammar and punctuation: Here is a tip to help you. Singular means only one, plural means more than one. To make words plural we can either add –s or –es. The rule is as follows:
When you make a word plural you add either an “s” or “es” as an ending. ... If the word ends with ch, sh, s, x, or z, use es to make it plural.
A prefix is a group of letters that go at the beginning of a word to change it’s meaning. The prefix –un changes the word so it means the opposite.
The rest of the activities you should be able to do by yourself. Write the answers in your blue book.
1. Write the plural of each word by adding s or es:
flower _______________
box _______________
girl _______________
2. Add the un- prefix to the words below:
____zip.
_____happy.
Can you write a sentence using the un- word?
Help Sara to un jumble the words below.
taf _______________
hact _______________
amt _______________
1. There are 4 candles on each cake.
There are 3 cakes.
How many candles are there altogether? _____
2. Look at the repeating patterns below.
What comes next?
Arithmetic
1. 15 + 4 =
2. 12 - 8 =
3. Double 5 =
Here is your activity for today.
When I was in school on Friday, you’ll never guess what I saw. The fairy door is still in our classroom. That means they must still be there! I bet they are wondering where you all are and why the classroom is so quiet. I am sure they would love it if you wrote them a letter telling them about all the things you have been doing whilst you have been in lock down. Remember your capital letters and full stops, finger spaces and to form and join your letters correctly. If you ask the fairy a question then remember to put a question mark at the end.
Here is your EAA
Have a look at this Picture Hunt. If you go outside for a walk today, have a look and see which of these items you can find. The number on each picture shows you how many points you get for finding each item. Keep score as you go along and then work out your total at the end. You might find more than one of each picture. Count up your score carefully. You could make a tally chart whist you are out and then add up your score when you get home. Have fun!
You might want to take your own pictures whilst you are on a walk and make a picture hunt of your own. You could send me your hunt and maybe we can see if the rest of the class can find the items and add up their scores.

Good morning Year 1
Today commemorates 75 years of the celebration of VE day a very special day in History. 75 years ago, this day was made a public holiday and a day of celebration to mark the defeat of Germany by the allied forces during the Second World War.
With your grown up, have a look at the VE Day document below. Find out some information about VE Day.
There are some tasks on the slides for you to have a go at.
You could also make and decorate some bunting to hang around the house. You could make your own Union Jack flag to wave in celebration.
You could design and even make a special party meal to celebrate.
You could make up your own dance to celebrate the happy occasion.
You could pretend you are Winston Churchill (The Prime minister at the time) announcing the news to the nation. What would you say to the people of Britain?
There is no EMA or EAA today as it is Bank holiday but I thought you might like to have a go at some of these activities with your family. I will be doing some with the children I am looking after in school today.
But first, lets get moving!
Click on the link below and join in with the dance through the ages. Have fun!

Do you know which season we are in at the minute?
Look at trees, plants and animals. What can you see and hear?
How are the things you see and hear different in winter?
What about the weather how has that changed since the winter?
Use your weather journal from your EMA and add to it each day to help you find out the following information.
- Set up a daily weather chart to record when it rains and when it is dry.
At the end of each week, make a tally and compare.
How many dry sunny days were there?
How many rainy days were there?
Were there any days when it was sunny or rainy all day?
Were there any days when it was both sunny and rainy?
How warm has it been on each day?
Have you had to wear different clothes because of the weather each day?
Can you think of another fun way to show the information? – Get thinking.

I had an email from Emily yesterday. She had to go to the Panda unit this week! Poor Emily fell off her bike onto the road. Luckily she was wearing her helmet which protected her head. She cut her lip and her chin but luckily didn't break any bones and because she was wearing her helmet, she protected her head. Luckily Emily is on the mend, she said her lip has started to go down already and she is starting to feel much better. There is an important message here to the rest of you, make sure like Emily, you always wear your helmet when you ride your bike to protect your head.
Poor Emily
Here is your EMA for today.
Today we are going to do some more work with money.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjgrzfvW_ns
Watch this video clip, now have a go at doing the same activity, get your grown up to help you to draw the chart if you need them to. You can carry on with the activity using different amounts. Have fun and explore with the coins to see what values you can make.
Here is your activity for today.
Do you have a baking tray like this in your kitchen? If not you could use an empty egg box or just put the cards into piles on the floor. On the pieces of paper, write an amount of money, you can use the ones in the picture or make up your own. You might want to ask your grown up to do this for you.
Now using real money, toy money or money you have made, can you count out the coins and count the right amount into each section of the tray? You can play this a few times and change the amounts on the paper in each section. If you keep the pieces of paper somewhere safe then you can play this game again another time.
Here are some more pictures from Emily and Scarlett-Rose
Good afternoon Year 1. I hope you are having a good day so far.

It’s Fun Time Friday, so let’s end the week with a song. This song is very appropriate especially during this time that we are facing, although we should always find time to share a little kindness.

Good morning Year 1.
I hope you are all keeping safe and well.
I had a lovely email from Jonah last night. He has been very busy doing his school work and also lots of fun activities outside in the garden making the most of the great weather we have had. Jonah - you have been so busy, washing the car, making a drum set out of the pots and pans, being and elf in training (I love the outfit and the purple hair in one of your photos) You must have had to stand very still for that butterfly to land on you, butterflies are so beautiful and to have one land on you is very special. Emily told me that she had a white one land on her last week! 
Keep up the great work Jonah. It was lovely to see your photos. I have put them below so that your friends can see what you have been up to.
I know that some of you have also sent me pictures over the last few weeks so I will put those on the website as soon as I can so you can all see the things that your friends have been up to as well.

2 times tables
Here are some times tables wheels for the 2 times table (counting in 2's) If you are bale to print them out at home then you can. If not, don't worry you can ask a grown up to draw them out for you. The number in the middle is always 2. Look at the number next to it, and work out that many lots of 2. For example if the number next to the 2 was a 3 then you need to work out 3 lots of 2 and write the answer in the space on the wheel. There are a few different sheets for you to try if you have mastered the first one, the rest get more tricky as they go along. Look carefully because some times on the tricky sheets the answer is already there and you have to work out how many lots of 2 make that answer. Start with the first sheet, have a go and see how you get on.
Good afternoon Year 1
Sorry for the delay with your EAA, there was an issue with the website but thankfully it is all sorted now. How are you? I hope you have had a good morning.

Time to wake up and get moving. Today we are going to practise counting in 10’s all the way to 120.
Click on the link below and join in with the video. You should do the video a few times, join in with the actions and shout out the answers until you are super confident and getting all the answers right.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFP6JwOWrlg
Now count from 10 to 120 in jumps of 10 and write the answers in your blue book.
Here is your activity for today.
Do you remember before Easter a few weeks ago, one of your activities was to make your own phonics flash cards? If you made them, do you still have them? If you do, a big well done, look after them as you can use them to practise every day. If you haven’t got any you can make your own set, you could use paper or card, maybe from an old cereal box.
On each card you need to write one of the following: (make them nice and big like the ones we use in class.)
j v w x y z zz qu ch sh th ng ai ee igh oa oo ar or ur ow oi ear air ure er ay oy wh a_e ou ir ph e_e ie ue ew i_e ea aw oe o_e au u_e
Phew that’s a lot of phonics sounds isn’t it? You should have 44 cards altogether. Can you spot the split diagraphs?
Once you have made you flashcards, have a go at saying all the sounds. Put them into 2 piles, one pile for the sounds you know really well and another pile for the sounds you find a bit tricky and need to practise.
Remember to keep practising your phonics every day, especially the ones you found more tricky until you know them all really well.
Why not become the teacher, line up all your teddies or toys and have your own phonics lesson with them. You could even ask mummy and daddy to join in! Keep your phonics flashcards in a safe place so that you can use them every day.
Pick a sound – how many things around your home can you find with this sound? Is the sound at the beginning, middle or end of the word? How many words can you think of with this sound? Write a list of as many words as you can that have this sound in. Write some silly sentences using these words.
Now do the same with a different sound. Have fun! 
Good afternoon Year 1
I hope you enjoyed doing your activities this morning.
