Hello Ash and Chestnut 
Welcome back Year 1 - we hope that you have all had a lovely half term. Hopefully you have all had a rest and are ready for learning! We have a busy half term ahead!
Your weekly outline of all subjects is below. Remember your teacher will be uploading daily videos modelling and introducing the lessons being completed in school that day. More daily lessons across all subject areas are still available to dip into on BBC Bitesize and Oak National Academy if you require them.
Don't forget about GetEpic - a fantastic online library for us all to access from home. Check ClassDojo to find out details of how to log in to your class page and start exploring! We can earn badges for reading enough books! How fantastic! Check to see if your teacher has left you any suggestions, they may have found something that they think you might like.
Take care everyone!
English
In English, we have had to change our planning as a result of a discovery at school. We will have to work together to solve this one! Read through English Week 7 to guide you through this week's activities. Each day a video will be uploaded to class dojo to give you more updates and news on the discovery and deliver the input needed for each lesson.

We do a LOT of sorting between nonsense and real words in Year 1. 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 looking at Proper Nouns.
Open the Powerpoint and we will talk you through the activities. There are some sheets on capital letter for dates, people and places for practise as well.

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.
