Hello Year 1! Happy Friday! How are you today? I loved seeing your coin pictures yesterday. Well done everyone. You also worked really hard with the 'igh' words because that is a tricky sound! 

Let's see who will be the Dojo winner this week! Keep sending me all your lovely your work. Send it to me via Class Dojo or email (JonesL1104@hwbcymru.net). I will be awarding a Dojo point for each task that you do and extra dojos for trying hard, neat work and other reasons. 

Friday 22nd January

Task 1

The Winter King strolled confidently through the river of ice. This was HIS domain. Here, it was always winter. 

Wherever he went, the cold followed him. Frost flowed from his fingertips, snow formed around his feet and his cold stare turned all life into statues of solid ice.

Summer was trapped under his spell. Would the world ever experience warmth again?

Do you prefer the summer or the winter? Draw and describe your favourite type of weather by drawing a picture and writing words around it to why its your favourite weather.

Task 2

This sentence is sick, can you fix it and make it better? Fix the sentence and copy your new sentence into your book. 

the King walked through the __________ forest as snow fell from the sky onto the ground

What is missing from this sentence? 

What always goes at the beginning of a sentence?

What do we end a sentence with?

How can you describe the forest? Is it icy or large or quiet or frosty?

Task 3

This is the last day I'd like you to record the weather.  I'd like you to look at the weather and write a sentence 'Today the weather is...' and complete the sentence. You can draw a picture to go with your sentence. 

Is it rainy? Is it cloudy? Is it sunny? Is it windy? Is it cold? See if you can use 'and' to make your sentence longer.
