Year 1 - Monday's Home Learning - Langstone Infant Academy

Year 1 Home learning for Monday 22nd June – Circus Theme

Subject focus		What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
English	Reading	Can I discuss word meanings, linking new meanings to those already known.	Read the ‘Clown school letter,’ provided below with a grown up or an older sibling. If you can print it, then print it and underline any words that you don’t know the meaning of, if you can’t print it then write a list of the words you don’t know the meaning of. Talk about those words and find out what they mean. Read the letter together and then answer the comprehension questions provided.
English	Writing	– Naming letters of the alphabet in order – Spell: Words containing each 40+ phonemes already taught	Can you name all the letters of the alphabet? How many are there? Can you name them in a random order? Can you think of and then write a circus themed word for every letter of the alphabet? E.g. A – Acrobat You can write them in a list or use the template below. Try to use your phonics to help you spell each word. A – c- r- o- b- a- t, C – l – ow-n
Maths		Recognise and know the value of different denominations of coins and notes	Play a coin matching game by writing out the different coin values onto post-its. Spread them out on the table, face up. The child should take a coin from the pile and match it to the correct label. Talk about the different colours, shapes and sizes of the coins as well as their monetary value. Place the coins in a feely bag or behind your back and describe the coin to a partner. Can they guess the coin? Take it in turns to guess/describe.
Other: PE/Topic		Master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and coordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities	Watch the following clip on the internet, remember to Keep SAFE online. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zfmw2hv Watch/listen/read the instructions for how to juggle scarves then… Have a go yourself!
