Its "Fabulous Friday" everybody! 

We hope you have all had a wonderful week so far...

This is our last day of working on punctuation and measure and next week we will finish off your time in Year 1 with some fun games and activities.

Have a wonderful day everyone and we hope you have a fantastic weekend too! 

Love from Mrs Darnton, Mrs Craddock & Mrs Stow and of course Mrs Ames & Mrs Platt xx  

Here are your activities...

MATHS

We are continuing with our work on measure.

Here are some more practical measuring activities to do. Have fun! 

WRITING TASK

Now that you are amazing at recognising and using exclamation marks, I'd like you to show me your skills in your own independent writing.

Please can you draw a picture of yourself and then write at least 5 sentences which describe how incredible you are. For example:

I am an absolutely amazing at gymnastics!

I am as pretty as a princess!

I am the fastest runner in the world!

I am the most marvellous mathematician there ever was!

I am the noisiest pupil in Year 1!

Remember, you must use capital letters at the start of sentences and for proper nouns, you must include clear finger spaces between words, do it in your most beautiful cursive handwriting and of MOST IMPORTANCE remember to include the exclamation mark at the end of your sentence.

Good luck wonderful writers!  

ONLINE  READING AND READING REAL BOOKS

Finally, make sure that today you set some time aside to read one of your Active Learn reading books or the other online reading resources. Don't forget there are sometimes questions there too to make sure you've understood the book. Do this for at least 15 minutes daily.

Keep enjoying the wonderful world of books! xx
