Supertato - KS1 (Theme - Superheroes)

(0)
Year 1 - Theme of Superheroes. Read the story Supertato. DT project - design and make a Supertato. We used the TASC wheel to structure the project. Letter from the Evil Pea - I left ‘bad messages’ from the Evil Pea around the school. Whoever read these messages turned bad. My TAs were mixing up all of the toys, and sitting on the tables. The children were in shock at first! Then, someone decided to make posters that had good messages on them to turn everyone back good. We focused on what ‘good’ and ‘bad’ meant.

More and Less - Reception - Early Years Differentiated worksheets. Worksheet 1 Roll the dice. Then count the dots on the dice. Draw the dots in the middle box. Draw 1 more in the right box. Draw 1 less in the left box. Or write the correct numbers. To differentiate, children need to use 2 dice and add them together to find the total value. Then find 1 more and 1 less. Or use a foam dice and add your own numbers (e.g 2 -3 digit numbers). Worksheet 2 Find 1 more and 1 less using a number line.

Guided Reading - KS1

I use these worksheets during my guided reading sessions with Year 1. We make predictions about the front cover, then half way through, and then just before the end. We then reflect on what we predicted. The skimming task is differentiated. The focus is on phase 2 and 3 tricky words. My children highlighted the words in different highlighter pen as it was clearer for them to count the words at the end. Guided Reading Literacy KS1 Year 1
