Good Morning Penguins
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I went for a walk today in the rain, it's a good job I had my waterproofs and wellies on!
This week, we are going to be focussing on The Gruffalo and Mrs Jarrett wanted to share this story with you all. This is one of our favourite stories to read in Penguins so I thought we could do lots of fun activities based on this story.
We are also looking at shape in school this week, so why not see if you can incorporate shapes into some of your daily work this week!
Have a go at today's challenges:
Challenge 1:
Can you create a Gruffalo mask?
Choose your favourite character in the story and have a go at creating a mask so that you can take on the role of this character
Challenge 2:
Have a wonderful day,

Good morning penguins!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready for another week of learning and growing our brains.
Maths
Practise counting in your 1’s, 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Remember to practise counting backwards from 20 too, this is really important.
This week we are going to recap on 1 more and 1 less. The aim is for you to know 1 more and 1 less than a number up to 20 quickly without using a number line. I have added a quick video to help remind you about 1 more and 1 less.
Can you make a giant number track you could do this inside with pieces of paper with different numbers on or use chalk outside? Get your grownup to give you a different number, jump on that number and then jump on one more and one less shouting out those numbers.
Challenge: do you know it without your number line?
Literacy
Today we are going to look at the short or sound. Watch the video and follow the instructions.
This week in school we are looking at the book; We're going on a bear hunt. I have recorded the story and have added it to the blog for you to watch. I will add the challenges we are doing in school if you want to join in. Today we are drawing a story map by drawing pictures of the story in the right order.
Daily reminders:
- Oxford owl reading
- Purple Mash – I have set you a special to do this week about your favourite thing in Reception this year – please take time to complete this and then I will share them all on the blog. I will do one too!
- Spellings- these are this weeks spellings
Don’t forget to upload your pictures on the blog so I can see what you have been doing.
Have a great day!

There is a worksheet at the end of the lesson, but if you want to practise more, you can look on IXL:
Maths - Year 1 - Addition - D1, D2
English - Year 1 - Sentences - L1, L2
For today's writing, I would like you to write silly sentences! First, you need to write 5 nouns on separate pieces of paper, then 5 adjectives and 5 verbs. Fold them up so you can't see them and then pick one from each pile and turn them into sentences:
Here is my example:
Noun - banana
Adjective - beautiful
Verb - danced
The beautiful banana danced to the music on the radio.
Either take photographs of your writing and show them on your blog, or type you sentences into a blog post. I'm looking forward to reading your silly sentences!
