<p>A Year 1 literacy lesson on the seaside. Children describe objects they can see at the seaside and write descriptive sentences using the senses.<br /> Differentiated for HA children with an ambitious vocabulary book. LA children have sentence strips and starters. Plan and resources include a child with a 1:1 LSA.<br /> I used for an observed lesson with mini sensory trays which I put sand, shells and other seaside-related objects in.</p>

<p>A set of 10 SMART Notebook pages for phonics screening practice with a year 1 class.<br /> Each page contains some real and alien phase 5 words to sort as a class.<br /> I use on the carpet as a whiteboard activity and extend children by getting them to draw the sound buttons on.<br /> There is a heavy emphasis on split digraphs as that is what year 1 children tend to struggle with.</p>

<p>A lesson I used in an observation which went well. Plan, resources and SMART Notebook file included.<br /> Children learn to distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made, then classify objects. (You will need sorting hoops and objects for this.)<br /> I’ve also included some odd one out activities to deepen understanding and a powerpoint file with 4 levels of difficulty. I opened the powerpoint on laptops. Children used the file in pairs by dragging different objects into the hoop to make their own collections of objects.</p>

<p>Some plans and revision slides for my class based on their needs in practice screening checks. The plans revisit orally blending 2 and 3 syllable words, as well as discretely teaching some consonant blends from phase 4. There is a lot of emphasis on split digraphs because I don’t think it is possible to practise these too much!<br /> For the “apply” section of the plans I will either handwrite the resources or use sheets from Twinkl, so I have not uploaded anything for that section.</p>

<p>A template for a winter list poem aimed at Yr1.<br /> When I teach this I differentiate like this:<br /> <strong>SEN</strong>: Number and noun<br /> <em>I went walking in a winter wonderland. I saw:</em><br /> <em>One snowman</em><br /> <em>Two robins</em><br /> etc<br /> <strong>LA</strong>: Number, adjective, noun<br /> <em>One white snowman</em><br /> <em>Two feathery robins</em><br /> etc<br /> <strong>MA</strong>: Number, adjective, noun, progressive verb<br /> <em>One white snowman standing<br /> Two feathery robins singing</em><br /> etc<br /> <strong>HA</strong>: Number, adjective, noun, progressive verb, adverb<br /> <em>One white snowman standing peacefully<br /> Two feathery robins singing beautifully</em><br /> etc</p>
