Home Learning Letter Year 1

Dear Parents/ Carers,

We hope you have all had a lovely weekend and are ready for our last week of home schooling this half term. Today there is a live meeting with the teachers. We are really loving seeing the children, even if it is just on a screen. Mrs Hicking is meeting with 1HB at 9am and Mrs. Poole is meeting with 1P at 1.15. We are going on a scavenger hunt!

Here are the rest of the day’s activities:

Literacy

Today for Literacy you are going to create a story setting for a moon story, but instead of drawing a picture in your book we would like you to create a 3D one with whatever you have at home. You could use a sheet for the moon, or make a round moon shape with a long piece of string. On the moon you could build a rocket with Lego, make one with a rolled up piece of paper or loo roll or draw a rocket on card and stand it up. You could make craters and / or rocks with bottle tops, pasta, scrunched up kitchen foil, construction bricks, rolled up socks. You could make a playdough alien or draw an alien on card and stand it up.

You can do your moon story setting however you like. There is not a right or wrong way of doing it. Just use your imagination and have fun! If you could email us a picture of your creation that would be fantastic! We can’t wait to see them!
