KS1 Science - Ears/Hearing Experiment

Year 1 Science - Hearing/Ears This was a part of our science topic ‘The Senses’. We completed these 3 differentiated worksheets/anticipation grids to activate prior knowledge. Half way through our topic, we completed the ‘expanding statements’ as children had a better understanding of hearing. We then completed the beaker experiement. Children predicted what the beakers would sound like when struck when they were full and empty. We had been learning about low and high pitch.

Recognising capital letters - highlight the letters that they recognise. Easy indicator of what letters to work on. Reading zero to twenty. Tick when children are able to read these key words. I do these assessments at the end of each full term. I then make groups of children to focus on similar sounds/numbers. There is also a differentiated follow up maths worksheet for children to practise reading the numbers zero to twenty.

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
