Hi all,

Here is today's list of suggested activities:

- GoNoodle - 

- Phonics -

Continue with the 'a-e' sound from make a cake. Today, however, can your children write down these words after you have read them out? 
Ask them to use their 'Fred fingers' to sound out.

Try these words: 
late
date
snake
amaze
escape

- English -

Grammar – Uplevelling sentences. Use this presentation to explore improving sentences using grammar that we have covered throughout Y1.

Use the Uplevelling sheet Twinkle twinkle to record evidence of uplevelling in your remote learning books. You don't need to print out the sheets. This activity is differentiated with the first sheet being the easiest and the last the hardest, I'll leave it up to you which one you choose to have a go at!

Extension – Happy Cat uplevelling.

- Break -

- PE -

Throughout the summer term, I would be teaching athletics and tennis to the children. While at home, I am going to leave this open-ended for you and make this a repeated PE 'job' for the coming weeks.

If you have the facilities and space to do tennis, teach your children balance and coordination, by balancing a ball on the racquet while walking and jogging, get them to bounce the ball like a basketball using the racquet, try to encourage good eye to hand coordination by getting the children to drop the ball with their non-dominant hand and hit the ball after a bounce with their dominant hand.

Encourage a good grip of the racquet by showing them either the frying pan grip or the axe grip. Use a swingball if you have one!

After a while, try to feed them throws and ask them to hit back to you with control.

Encourage a forehand style shot and work up to a backhand shot.

Once they have shown understanding have a game where you shout out forehand or backhand and they have to return the ball using the correct shot type. 

Other shot types could be practicing the volley (hitting the ball without it bouncing) or the smash (hitting a ball in an over arm style above head height shot).

Always encourage control over power, as balls in next door's garden will soon halt PE play in these days of social distancing! 

Over the coming weeks, try to get to a level where you could have a rally of five or ten simple shots with your child and incorporate moving to the ball where space allows it.

Where athletics are involved, track and field style events could be replicated at home through the use of jogging and running as track events or the use of makeshift hurdles. Field events could be trying to improve and progress the throwing technique, working on jumping, both high and long. 

This is an open-ended PE task that is open to interpretation and adaption to fit your needs. Most of all, have fun!
