Final Week of English

Just like you would have at school, for our final four lessons of English, we are going to work towards writing a letter to your new teacher.

This week you will find out who your Year 2 teacher will be and they are both so amazing!

A statement is a sentence that declares a fact, an opinion or an idea. It starts with a capital letter and usually finished with a full stop.

You will have received a teacher profile in your report pack, where your teachers have written five facts about themselves.

Lesson 2

Time to think about what you want to know. 

Do you have any questions about Year 2 for Miss Elliott or Miss James?

A question sentence is a sentences that usually requires a response. It starts with a capital letter and finishes with a question mark. ?

Task

Please write 5 questions you would like to ask your new teacher.

Example

Will I have P.E with Coach Callum in Year 2?

What will we learn about in Year 2?

Lesson 3

LO: To draft a letter

Time to start planning your letter.

Can you remember what a letter needs to start with?

Task

I would like to ask you about _______

From _________________

Lesson 4

Transition Activities

Transition Activities

At this time of Year at school, we would be spending time together to reflect on our time in Year 1 and look forward to meeting our new teacher's. This is something we can still do at home.

When you come back to school in September, you will spend lots of quality time with Miss James or Miss Elliott getting to know each other. You might already be thinking about your new teacher, so we’ve put together a list of activities you might like to complete this week or over the Summer break.

·        You could create a Year 1 memory book of your favourite things we did and learnt about. You could add pictures or drawings of your friends, be as creative as you would like!

·        Try creating a bucket list of books you want to read over the Summer and tell your new teacher all about.

·        Write your own profile to give to your teacher to let them know all the amazing things about you!

·        You could use the template underneath to create a new class passport.

There are lots of other things you might want to try to help you feel ready to start your new class. Remember if you have any worries, it’s important to tell your grown ups. Please email year1@hilltop.doncaster.sch.uk if you want to contact Mrs Clark or Mrs Hodgson

English: Week 29th June

Tuesday 30^th June 

English Week 14

Good Morning Year 1!

On this post there are four different English Activities to complete this week.

Last week you created your own superheroes! This week we are going to write about where they live. It could be a secret lair, a cave, a school or any place you can imagine.

We are still being creative this week. 

Lesson 1

LO: To imagine and draw a setting

For our first lesson we are going to be really creative and imagine our superhero in a setting. Superheroes can have unusual bases so think as carefully as you can.

Here are some pictures to give you some ideas.

 Task

Can you draw your superhero’s base?

Add labels to remember what you have put in there.

Example

Gadget station

Car

Computer

Science lab

Lesson 2

LO: To create a word bank

When we describe a setting, it is good to use our senses to help us.

Let’s say you are your superhero and you are in your secret base.

What can you see?

What can you hear?

Task

Can think of 5 things you can see and 5 things you can hear? Record them in a table like the one below.

gadgets computer	running water bats flying

 

 Lesson 3

LO: To use adjectives to describe

It is important to use adjectives to describe.

We are going to use the nouns that you recorded yesterday to create expanded noun phrases.

An expanded noun phrase is when we use one or more adjective in front of a noun to describe.

For example, blue butterfly or beautiful blue butterfly.

Task

Can you write at least 7 expanded noun phrases to describe your setting? Use your learning from yesterday.

Example

New, shiny gadgets

State of the art computer

Quiet drops of running water

Shrieking bats flapping their wings  

Lesson 4

LO: To write a settings description

Today we are going to bring our learning together.

We are going to write full sentences that have...

Capital letters

Full stops

Expanded noun phrases

Adjectives

Sounds for spelling

Finger spaces

Best handwriting

 Task

Can you put your expanded noun phrases into full sentences to describe your superhero’s secret base?

Try to write at least 6 sentences.

Example

In the corner, was a pile of new, shiny gadgets and next to them was a state of the art computer. When everything was quiet she could hear the quiet drops of running water. Her secret base was deep under the ground because she didn’t want anyone to find it.

Remember to use your writing toolkit and try your best.
