Monday - Friday morning tasks for Week 1 of the Spring 1 half term (W/B 11.01.21 at my school but you can edit the dates) I have created these as a holding activity for children to complete as they arrive during our 30-minute drop off window (to minimise crowding on the playground due to Covid-19). Tasks include Writing, Maths, Handwriting, Phonics. Format is in PowerPoint Presentation. Font is Comic Sans as standard so this is compatible on all devices and can be changed to suit you.

Powerpoint made for a Year 1 Geography topic: “Where in the UK is Barnaby Bear?”. The topic covers lots of basic geography knowledge of the UK such as capital cities and their known landmarks. The Powerpoint is for ‘Barnaby Bear’ to show the pictures he “took” in London to show to the class. N.B. I created this on Microsoft PowerPoint, but the images are all taken from Google Image searches. I do not own any of the photos, but I do own the PowerPoint itself.

Quick task to introduce basic use of speech marks in Year 1. Worksheet includes 3 character speech bubbles which children must then turn into a written sentence with speech marks. Includes grey and red handwriting lines which children may come across in English or Literacy work books.

A week’s worth of lessons and some supporting worksheets aimed at Year 1 to cover counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. Lesson input slides are in the format of Active Inspire Primary flipcharts: There 5 separate flipcharts Monday - Friday.

1 week’s worth of lessons to teach Year 1 multiplication and division. 5 Active Inspire Primary flipcharts to use as whole class input across the week Monday - Friday plus some supporting worksheets and resources. Monday and Tuesday flipcharts focus on multiplication by looking at ‘lots of’ and ‘groups of’ and then introducing the multiplication ‘x’ symbol. Wednesday and Thursday flipcharts focus on division by looking at ‘sharing’ and introducing the division ÷ symbol. Friday flipchart offers some word problems using the skills developed throughout the week. My school follows Focus Maths and this is the Spring 2 Week 2 unit.
