A finished Year 1 pupil page. The pupil’s writing is shown in blue and their circles in red. It is also the answer key: Task 1 is A 5, B 6, C 3, D 1, E 4, F 2; in Task 2 the mistake is steps 3 and 4.
Name: Efa Class: Class 1 Date:
Which step is first? Write 1 in its box.
A pot of soil is 1, the finger hole 2, the seed 3, covering it 4, watering 5 and the sunny window 6. Every number is used once. Evidences DCF: recognise and follow instructions in the appropriate order.
Robot Rhys planted his seed like this:
Where is the seed now? Tick.
Steps 3 and 4 are circled: Rhys covered the hole before he dropped the seed in, so the seed is sitting on top of the soil. Evidences DCF: identify errors in a simple set of instructions (algorithm).
Trace the words.
Now write these words. Say the sounds. Write 1 sound in each box.
sun is spelled correctly. soil is written as 3 sounds with the oi digraph in one box. A plausible spelling such as s-oy-l still shows the pupil hearing every sound. Letters are formed left to right and sit on the line. Evidences literacy: write words using knowledge of letters and the sounds they represent.
Your teacher will read 4 steps. Do them in order.
The pot, the soil on top, the seed in the soil and the sun in the corner are all there, so all 4 spoken steps were followed in order. Evidences DCF: follow instructions in the appropriate order.
