Just to let you know, for those of you learning at home we have swapped our PE and Science afternoon sessions around. For those of you coming into school please continue to wear your PE kit on a Tuesday and Thursday.
We are no longer running the cuppa and a catch up session for parents on a Tuesday. As always if you have any questions or wish to discuss things with your child’s teacher then continue to use email, we are always happy to get back in touch with you.
Maths
Counting in Tens and Ones
Look at the picture below.
Talk together about what the digits represent.
The 3 shows us that there are 3 tens.
The 2 shows us that there are 2 ones.
ACTIVITY TIME:
Look at the numbers below. Draw the tens and ones that match the number on your whiteboard.
It should look like this…
Finally, have a go at the guided practice questions and then complete pages 7 – 10 in your Maths No Problem book.
 Maths Challenge Time
The following activity is for children who would like a bit more of a challenge.
There are 30 chocolates. The chocolates come in boxes of 10.
Investigate different ways that the chocolates can be grouped.Â
Can you use your skip counting to help?
Draw your working out into your red book. It might help to draw the boxes.
Please send a photo of your work to year1@damers.dorset.sch.uk

Art
This week in our art and harmony sessions we will be
exploring colour-mixing.
This afternoon is all about exploring what happens when you mix colours.
Try starting with the Primary colours – red, blue and yellow – and choose 2 to mix. What do you notice?
Now try mixing a different combination of 2 colours.
What happens if you mix all 3 primary colours together?
You can use paint, pastels (oil or chalk) crayons, pencil crayons or even playdough to explore your colour-mixing. In school we might try making ice cubes with food colouring and dropping different coloured cubes into cups of water to see what happens…
Here are some ideas to get you started – have fun and do let us know what you discover as you mix!
If you don’t have any of these resources at home you could try this interactive colour-mixing colouring activity by clicking on the link:
