Year 1 – Friday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Friday 3rd April

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Apply phonic knowledge and skills as the route to decode words

Write down or print the Phase 5 sounds. Choose one and see if you can think of lots of different words with that sound in. 

Writing Can I spell the days of the week.

Sing the days of the week song. 

‘There’s Sunday and there’s Monday, there’s Tuesday and there’s Wednesday, there’s Thursday and there’s Friday and then there’s Saturday. Days of the week (clap, clap) Days of the week (clap, clap)’ It is sung to ‘The Adams Family’ theme tune. 

Get your child to write down the days of the week. They are not words that are easy to sound out so they need to be practised. You could do theLook, say, cover, write, check’ method that we use to practise spellings. 

There are also some games we have set on Education City that you can do if possible. https://www.educationcity.com/

Maths Count in multiples of twos, fives and tens.

Solve these problems – Use jottings (drawings to help) or write out the calculation to help.

If one bike needs 2 wheels…

How many wheels would two bikes need?

How many wheels would three bikes need?

How many wheels would five bikes need?

If a vase has 5 flowers in…

How many flowers would there be if I had two vases?

How many flowers would there be if I had three vases?

How many flowers would there be if I had four vases? 

Other:  Use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; know where to go for help and support when they have concerns about material on the internet. Remind your child of the schools ‘Keeping safe online’ rules. Get them to explain to why it is important not share personal information. Get them to sort the information below into ‘can share’ and ‘don’t share’. 

  • Name
  • If you can swim
  • Where you live
  • If you have a brother or sister
  • The name of your school
  • How old you are

Remember to email your child’s class teacher to let them know how you’ve got on. We’d love to see examples of what you’ve been up to.
