Year 1 Home learning for Monday 20th April
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: | |
| English | Reading | Recognise and read common exception words in and out of context (house, school, friend, once, where, were, said, here, they, there). |
Write each common exception word (house, school, friend, once, where, were, said, here, they, there) on a cut up piece of paper or card. It is useful to have two sets. Use these to play games that help your child to recognise and read the words by sight e.g. Corners – spread the word cards out around the room. Child runs to the word you say. Ready, Aim, Fire! – spread the cards out on the floor or a wall. Use an object to hit the appropriate card i.e. nerf gun, wooden spoon Pairs – Place two sets of words face down in a random order to form 4 rows of 5 cards. Child turns 2 over at a time. Can they find the matching pairs? |
| Writing | To spell common exception words correctly. | Choose 5 of the common exception words and write a sentence for each. Encourage your child to picture the word as they write it or think about the tricky parts e.g. the ‘i’ in friend. Remember to say the sentence out loud and think about capital letters and full stops. | |
| Maths |
Identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations. Add and subtract one digit and two digit numbers to 20. |
Choose a 2 digit number between 10 and 30. Write the number in your home learning book and find different ways to represent it using actual objects, pictorial representations and number sentences e.g. 12 =
6 + 6 = 12 20 – 8 = 12 10 + 2 = 12 14 – 2 = 12 |
|
| Other: | Build a structure and explore how it can be made stronger, stiffer and more stable. |
Use objects from around your house to build a bridge that spans a gap (newspaper, card, tubes, cups, tins,building bricks etc). What can it hold? How will you test it? Think about ways you can make it stronger so that it can support more weight. Discuss different structures and strengthening techniques. |

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.
