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.

Maths challenge- For today's task, I would like you to complete the worksheet below, about making equal groups to support division.
Geography challenge- For the first part of our task today, I would like you to watch the YouTube video below all about the seven continents of the world. Watching this video, will support some of your understanding of the next task.
Once you have watched the YouTube video, work through the PowerPoint below. Here you will look at a range of different animals from all over the world. Some are shown living in continents and some are from specific countries.
Now cut out the animal pictures below and use your map of the world to show where these animals can be found. You don't need to complete them all but do as many as you can.
Here is an example of one that I have created. Place the map in the middle and lay out your animals around the outside. You could use arrows to point to the right country or continent, where the animal can be found. (If you have picked up a paper pack from school, you could use a large piece of A3 paper to stick your map and animals down.)

Good morning Year One. I hope that you enjoyed all the challenges that I set for you yesterday.
Well done for joining me on the Zoom lesson this morning at 9 o'clock. Below are the four challenges that I would like you to complete today, these include Literacy, Maths, ICT and a reading task. As always, the PowerPoint from our online lesson is attached below and it will provide you with more support for the challenges, if it is needed.
Don't forget that you can email me your work at lauren.unwin@salford.gov.uk
I have also included this week's spellings. Don't forget to practise them as our spelling test is on Friday.
Literacy challenge- For today's task, I would like you to have a go at completing the speech bubbles below. There is one for each of the four characters from the story. You need to think of what these characters could say and write that in the speech bubbles.
Maths challenge- For today's Maths task, you are going to complete the worksheet below. You need to think today about the word 'equal'. When something is equal, it means that it is the same. It is important when looking at multiplication, that all groups are equal.
ICT challenge- Today is, 'Safer Internet Day'. This is a day where (more than ever) we need to think about the importance of being safe when using the internet. First of all, I would like you to read the PowerPoint below. Then you can choose one or two from the range of activities to complete.
Reading Challenge- For your final task today, I would like you to read one or both of the Comic strips below. The first one is easier than the second, have fun!

Good morning Year One. I hope that you all had a lovely relaxing weekend and did some nice activities.
Well done for joining me on the Zoom lesson this morning at 9 o'clock. Below are the four challenges that I would like you to complete today, these include Literacy, Maths, PE and Science. As always, the PowerPoint from our online lesson is attached below and it will provide you with more support for the challenges, if it is needed.

I have also included this week's spellings. Don't forget to practise them as our spelling test is on Friday.
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.
Maths challenge- Today, we are going to begin our new topic on multiplication. For our first lesson, we are going to recap doubling. When we double a number, we add the number to itself (or x2). Firstly, watch the doubling video below.
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.
Hit the ButtonHere is one of my favourite games EVER! It is called, 'Hit the Button'. You can practise your doubling, by completing these timed games. This will be a fun way to complete you maths activity today.

The second option is for you to complete the next adventure in the Cosmic Yoga series called, 'Dodgson the Dodo'.
The final option is for you to complete the PE lesson by Joe Wicks from Friday 5th Feb.
Science challenge- For today's task, I would like you to read all the information below. You are then going to be creative and attempt to make something, which our castaway could use to catch rainwater.
