Good morning Year 1!

Welcome to a new week of learning. 

What is the date today? Remember to use full sentences.

May is the month of Mary. 
Let’s start our day with a prayer.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

See the link below to join in for our Monday liturgy with your families. There is also a special PowerPoint for the month of Mary. Can you learn the Rosary?

What fun things did you do at the weekend? I baked a banana loaf with chocolate chips. It was very yummy.

• Handwriting and Phonics/reading
• Grammar: suffixes -er and -est
• English: No Thank You story
• Maths: Introduction to fractions: whole and halves
• RE: Pentecost: The church's birthday

Daily handwriting and phonics: Please aim for 30 minutes (15 each) of handwriting and phonics per day. 

Grammar: This week we are learning about the suffixes -er and -est where there is no change to the root word. A suffix is a word part that's added to the end of a root word to change the meaning. 

English: Read a short humorous story; sequence events from a story correctly; orally re-tell a story in as much detail as possible.

Maths: Today's activity focuses on whole fractions and halves.

Please refer to the White Rose website under Summer term - Week 2 to watch the learning video for Lesson 1: Find a half (2).

Happy birthday to the Church!
