Year 1 – Monday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Monday 6th July – Seasons and Weather Theme

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Explain clearly their understanding of what is read to them.

Share the story of Elmer.   If you don’t have this book there is an online version being read by the author at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFrD18XLmlM

Discuss the story with your child and ask them to explain their understanding of what happened.

Writing Composing a sentence orally before writing it. Re-reading what they have written to check that it makes sense.

Link to Geography activity below, read first. 

Having explained your reasons verbally for sorting your weather, now write your sentence down. You can use the sentence frame below: 

I think _______ is good weather because __________. 

I think _______ is bad weather because ___________.

Remember to read your sentences back to check they make sense.

Maths

To consolidate learning and show understanding of number.

This year you have worked so hard during maths activities at school and also while you’ve been learning at home. This week we are going to look at a mixture of skills, activities and challenges, to see what you can do. Are you ready for the challenge?

1) Write down 3 numbers between 10 and 20. Show them to a grown up to check.

2) Below you will find a maths mat. If you can print it, you can fill in the answers. If you don’t print it, write your answers on paper.

Don’t forget to send a picture of your finished work to your class teacher!

3) If you want to, have a look at a maths activity on Education City.

Other: Geography Identify seasonal and daily weather patterns in the United  Kingdom.

What is weather? Can you think of different types of weather?

Look at the weather forecast symbols at the bottom of this document.

Can you sort them into good and bad weather?

Can you then explain why you have sorted them that way? E.g. Some people might say rain is bad weather because you can’t go out and play. However some people might say rain is good weather because it helps the plants grow.

Extension activity– Can you think of any other types of weather that weren’t on the bottom of this document? Can you draw a weather forecast symbol for them?

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.
