Good morning Year 1!

I hope you have had a lovely weekend spending time as a family and you feel refreshed for the week ahead! This week some of our activities are going to be focused on animals! 

On Friday Chester Zoo hosted a virtual day so we could see all of the animals and learn some interesting facts about them! My favourite zoo animal is an elephant. What is yours?

I have attached the link if you didn't manage to see this as this may help with your English activities this week.

Daily PE

Can you write some calculations in your exercise book?

Reading

English

Write a set of questions about animals you would like to find out about.  

Research about your favourite zoo animals to find the answers to your questions. You could use your ipad/computer or find a book and read some facts together. E.g. What do tigers eat? 

Creative time

Create a mask: Using different materials around the house create a mask of their favourite animal. Think about the colours and shape. Can they add different textures to their mask?

Mindfulness

Enjoy your day and keep smiling!
