Good morning, Grayling 1! This week we will be having 2 live lessons each day, starting with Mrs. P’s maths lesson this morning! We will still have a live phonics lesson at 11am and a catch-up session at 1:45 as well. Keep scrolling down for today’s art activity, plus details for maths and phonics in case you miss the live sessions. Hope this all makes sense – let us know if you have any questions or anything is unclear!
Maths – Counting Numbers to 40
Please join our live lesson at 9am using the Google Meet link you have been using for the Phonics lessons.
If you are unable to join please follow the lesson below:
This week in maths we are beginning to look at larger numbers.
Helpful Resources:
- 40 small objects. You can use anything… pasta shapes, lego bricks or small pebbles! (please keep ready for the next few lessons).
- Ten Frames. You can draw these yourselves on some paper or follow the link below to a printable version.
Have a look at the picture below. If possible provide your child with 23 small objects.
Can you find out how many pebbles there are?
Which is the best way to do this?
It can take a long time to count each pebble individually (one to one correspondence), can you think of a better way?
Let’s use a ten frame to help us. How does the ten frame help us count?
When we count larger numbers it is very helpful to make groups of ten first and then count the ones. Have a go at the practice questions below and then complete pages 1-4 in your Maths No Problem Workbook 2. This is the first time we will be using this book! Good Luck!
Phonics
If you can’t join in with our live session at 11am then please watch Lesson 11 of the Year 1 Spring Term lessons where you will learn how ‘le’ can make the l sound as in ‘bubble’.

Art
For this week’s art activity we would like you to create a model of a castle or a tower using the cardboard tubes and boxes you have been collecting. Try adding details such as windows, flags, turrets and battlements to make your model authentic! If you’d like to send a photo of your model to year1@damers.dorset.sch.uk we’d love to see it! Here are some ideas to get you started…
