Hello Ash and Chestnut Class!
Here we are in Week 3! Thank you for your fabulous photos of all your hard work at home. Your castle creations have amazed us all. This week we will be learning all about KNIGHTS in our topic lessons. Lots of you were keen to find out more about knights. 
Please find the week's activities for all subjects below. We will introduce each day's activities on Dojo in the morning - this will be in line with our own weekly timetable that the children in school will be following. Phonics and reading are taught daily alongside the other subjects. The webpage below will allow you to see an overview of the week if you wish to pick and choose from the different areas to suit your own schedule. We will be setting 2dos on PurpleMash matched to each week's learning so don't forget to log in and have a look. 
More daily lessons across all subject areas are still available to dip into on BBC Bitesize and Oak National Academy if you require them.
Have a great week and don't forget to stay in touch!

We do a LOT of sorting between nonsense and real words in Year 1 building towards the Phonics Screener in June. Have a look at Phonics Play as we use it a lot at school. Lots of games to choose from and they are offering free access to their site again due to lockdown. Games such as Dragon's Den, Picnic on Pluto and Buried treasure are fantastic for practising blending.
Grammar This week we will be using 'and' to join words and clauses. A lot of you are trying to do this with your sentences at the moment. Open the Powerpoint and Mrs Lambert will talk you through the activities. We have included an extra sheet for extra practise too.

Reading comprehension
We would normally be working towards guided reading groups at this point in the year. These groups are when we get chance to really start working on our reading comprehension together. We would do this once a week. Try the reading comprehension activity below. They cover sounds that we have already covered in class.
