Good morning Year 1 

Remember...

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

Let’s start our day with a prayer.

Our Father who art in Heaven, 
Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

My dragon is green with a long tail and a huge horn on its head.

My dragon would be useful for cooking because it could make toast with its flames.

Maths: In this lesson we will be learning more about positions - left and right. Can you remember how we used our hands yesterday to help us?

Science: Do you know how a sunflower grows?

Can you read these sunflower words?

In the summer of 2019 I went to a country called Turkey. I visited a beautiful sunflower field where the sunflowers were taller than me!
