Year 1 – Monday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Monday 27th April

Can the children start collecting wrappers / collage resources in preparation for Thursday’s learning please?

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Listen to and discuss non-fiction at a level beyond that at which they can read independently

Share a non-fiction text with your child (preferably instructions e.g. recipes, board game instructions, craft instructions such as Mister Maker).  Support your child by reading the text together as this may be beyond their reading level.  Focus on discussion of the text type, purpose and layout i.e. use of title, headings, numbers/bullet points, diagrams/photos and labels etc.

Why is it written like this? (Easy to follow, clear, step by step sequence, short and precise).

Writing

Write sentences by:

-Composing a sentence orally before writing it 

-Sequencing sentences to form short narratives

-Re-reading what they have written to check that it makes sense

Pre-writing task: Carry out a simple activity or task for which you can write some instructions e.g. washing hands, making a snack, making a paper plane/flower, playing a game etc.

Write your own set of instructions for how to do something.  Remember the features that you will need to include e.g. Title (How to…), You will need, Instructions (short, clear and precise).

Challenge: Can an adult follow your instructions? Do they make sense?

Maths Solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations

Draw or print 10 emoji faces onto paper and number them 0-9.  Now use them to create your own addition and subtraction coded number sentences. You can vary the level depending on the ability of your child.

Sheets attached for those with printer access.

Other: 

STEM Challenge

-Select from and use a range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks [for example, cutting, shaping, joining and finishing] 

-Build structures, exploring how they can be made stronger, stiffer and more stable

-Generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through talking and mock-ups.

Whatever Floats your Boat!

Your challenge is to design and make a boat that floats using everyday materials such as paper/plastic cups, tin foil, cling film, tape, straws, food packaging, plastic bag, corks etc.

Explore different shapes and sizes and think about why some designs are better than others.How can you ensure it is waterproof?

Challenge 1: Can you make a boat that holds 20 pennies/lego bricks for 10 seconds without leaking water, tipping over or sinking?

Challenge 2: What is the largest number of coins/lego bricks that your boat can hold before sinking?

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.
