Hello Year 1!
I hope you had a great weekend.
Similar to a couple of weeks ago, it would be great if you could write a quick sentence about what you’ve been up. Then, take a picture of it and send me it to me. It’d be lovely to hear how you’ve been keeping busy.
Onto today’s main tasks…
Reading
Remind yourself of these split diagraphs:
a_e

Then, click on this link and complete the sheet.
Also, here is a link to another traditional tale. We will be focusing on this tale this week.
Maths
This week, we’re moving onto measuring.

Good morning everybody and happy Monday!
Before we start, I’d just like to apologise if the formatting is sometimes a little unclear – the website doesn’t recognise the enter button sometimes for unknown reasons! So sorry about this and if it’s really an issue, let me know.
Hope everyone is keeping happy and healthy! You can remember the acronym CALMER to help you!
- Compassion – be kind to yourself and be mindful of mental health
- Activity – keeping moving and exercising can have huge benefits
- Limit social media where you can
- Manage any worries – don’t bottle it up! Talk to someone.
- Engage with family and friends on the phone, by text or video call
- Routine – establishing a routine can help you feel a sense of control in these uncertain times

18 May: Home learning
Hello Year 2 and hope you are all well and you enjoyed your break over the weekend. It was lovely to speak to lots of families last week and please keep up all the great work you are doing at home.
If there is anything we can help with at this time, please send us an email (carolinetaylor@spherefederation.org and jackiefreeman@spherefederation.org) and we will try to help.
Alongside, or instead of, the home learning posted here, don’t forget the websites for home learning document to provide additional learning opportunities.
Are you set for a week of home learning before a well earned week off? Here we go!
Task 1 Reading
1.Click here to hear the fluency text for this week, What plants need to grow.
2.Read the fluency text yourself.
3. Underline/write out any words you are unsure of and find out their meaning.
Challenge: Can you use a synonym (a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase) for the words you are unsure of and swap them into the text? For example, you could change ‘tries’ to ‘attempts’.
Task 2 Spelling
The spellings this week can all have the suffix -ful or –less added to them (some can have both). The underlined words have an extra rule to follow when adding the suffix: drop the y for an i.
To make each spelling you need to add the suffix to the root word. For example, delight (root word) + ful (suffix) = delightful and use + less = useless.
1.Watch this video, What are suffixes? The suffix less means without, eg penniless means without pennies and the suffix ful means full of eg beautiful means full of beauty.
2.Write out your spellings (including the suffixes) using your neatest handwriting.
3.Choose one of the activities below to help you learn these new spellings.
- Paint some of your words with paint (on paper) or water (outside).
- Put your words in a box of some kind. Play music and pass the box. When the music stops pull out a word and read it. The other person must spell it. Get points for a correct spelling.
- Cut out letters from a newspaper or magazine to make some of your spelling words.
- Or choose any activity from our spelling guide.
4.Finally, get moving with this Super Movers video about prefixes and suffixes.
Task 3 Maths
1.Complete this BBC Bitesize lesson all about bonds to 100.
This learning is based on multiples of 10 eg 90+10=100 so a challenge, if needed, would be to add any two numbers to equal 100 eg 41+59=100.
2.Test out your knowledge by playing Hit the Button (select Number Bonds and play one of the games highlighted below).
Good work today, Year 2. You could have a go at this puzzle, from the childrens’ newspaper First News, to finish your learning for today. You can access the current First News paper here.

Friday is here again!
You have all been very busy this week and produced some super home learning. Don’t forget to keep checking the class news page.
We have a few things to get through today and I’ve given you a ‘Freedom Friday session.’ I will explain this a bit later on.
Task 1
Spellings
Listen to my sentences and write down the correct homophone.
There are 5 sentences but remember you only need to write the word not the whole sentence. Pause the recording after each one.
Times tables
We have been learning our tables throughout the year.
Listen to the recorded times tables test. Try to answer each question.
Task 2
LO: To be able to correctly use exclamation marks in sentences.
Complete this activity.

Task 3
Freedom Friday
Today, you can choose one (or more if you wish) of the activities below.
- The Great Race
She turned in the saddle and looked behind her. Emma could see the others gaining on her. Digging in her heels, she wispered some words of encouragement in the ostrich’s ear as it burst into full speed. They were making good time but there was still a lot further to go…….
Can you continue the story? Who is chasing Emma? Is this a race or some sort of an adventure?
2. Junk modelling – why not upcycle some waste materials in order to make something new? What can you find to make a model with? Be as creative as you like! Don’t forget to send a picture of your model to us.
Here are a few ideas.
3. Challenge your teacher
We have had one quiz already from lots of you. I enjoyed trying to work out who was who in the baby photos. Some of you haven’t changed at all!
Can you think of another way to challenge us? You are now the teacher and you need to set us some home learning!
Below is a challenge for you.
There are 10 pennies in the shape of a triangle. Can you turn the triangle upside down? YOU CAN ONLY MOVE 3 OF THE COINS!
Great learning this week everyone!
Enjoy the weekend and stay safe!
