Mastering the Maths!
In today’s maths lesson we’ll be putting into practice some of the skills we have learnt this week. You will need your red exercise book, a pencil and a ruler.
Comparing Numbers
1. First divide your page into 3 columns like this…
2. Pick a number that is more than 20 but less than 40. Draw the number into the middle column in your book. Write the number too. I chose the number 34, but you can choose any number you like.
3. Ask an adult to tell you a number between 20 and 40.
Is their number more or less than yours?
Draw and write that into the correct column.
4. Together choose a number to put in the remaining column. Draw and write this too.
Now repeat this activity at least 3 more times. Your page in your red book should look a little like this…
Maths Challenge Time!
If you would like a fun challenge have a go at filling in the missing numbers below. You don’t need to record your ideas, just explain your reasoning to an adult!
Phonics
There will be no live session at 11 today. Please watch Lesson 20 of the Year 1 Spring Term Lessons for a review of the digraphs we have learned this week – ve, se and ph. Sometimes these lessons aren’t up first thing – they should be there by 9 though, so please check back if the lesson isn’t there at first. If you are able to join us this afternoon we’d love to see you at 1:45 for a catch up and a game!

Harmony
We hope you had fun exploring colour-mixing during your art lesson earlier in the week!
Today we will be looking at the different colours created by Russian artist Kandinsky in one of his most famous paintings. You can see it below and also have a look at this short clip by clicking on the link:
Can you spot some circles that are the primary colours (red, yellow and blue)? Which colours do you think Kandinsky mixed to create some of the other circles?
Now it’s your turn – use paint, crayons, pastels, playdough or felt tips to have a go at creating some concentric circles using your own mixed colours.
Please share a photo of your work at year1@damers.dorset.sch.uk and we will try to join all our pieces of art together to create a class display!
