Good morning amazing Year 1's

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

May is the month of Mary. 

Let's start the day with a prayer. 
 

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.  
Amen.

Daily handwriting and phonics

Please aim for 30 minutes (15 each) of handwriting and phonics per day. Find more about the words of the week (prefix -un and compound words) in the phonics link below. There will be one small grammar activity a day to help children learn their spellings better.

ENGLISH - Today's activity focuses on poetry, rhyming and labelling with adjectives.

Let's recap on adjectives. These words describe nouns - people, places, things or animals.

MATHS - Today's activity focuses on doubling numbers. When we have double it means we add the same amount again. 2 doubled would be 2 + 2 = 4.

Can you try the doubles rap? It has rhyming words to help you remember.

HUMANITIES - Today's activity focuses on the UK rivers. Can you remember the names of the UK countries? Can you remember the names of the UK seas you learned last week?

Fun fact: the Atlantic ocean separates Canada from where we are in the UK.
