Year 1 Home learning for Monday 4th May 2020
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: | |
| English | Reading | To read words containing taught GPCs and –s, -es, -ing, -ed, -er and –est endings | Play a ‘Connect 4’ reading game – Make a 6×6 grid containing words with the suffixes -ing, -ed, -er and -est e.g. jumped, resting, bigger, quickest (a grid is attached as an example or for those of you with printer access). Take it in turns to read a word and cover it with your counter/object. First to connect 4 words wins. |
| Writing |
To form capital letters and digits 0-9 accurately. To discuss what they have written to check that it makes sense |
Share the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar or watch this animated online version of the story – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75NQK-Sm1YY Discuss the story and the fact that each day the caterpillar eats something new but is still hungry. Write your own sentences using the same structure e.g. On _(Monday)__ I/he ate _(1)_ ___(carrot)__ but I/he was still hungry. You can write them about the caterpillar or make some up about the things you have eaten! Remember to use capital letters correctly and to form your numbers the right way. Then reread your sentence(s) to check it makes sense. You can find a word mat at the end of the document for support with spelling. Challenge: Can you use a different word for ‘ate’? Can you use a word to describe the food? e.g. crunchy carrot. |

| Maths | To recognise and know the value of different denominations of coins and notes |
Begin by looking at the different coins that we have. Discuss names, shape, size, colour and monetary value. Hide a coin in your hand and describe it to your child. Can they guess which coin you are holding? Game: A Handful of Coins! Place a number of coins in a bowl and ask your child to pick up a small handful of coins. How much do they have altogether? Write a number sentence to go with it e.g. 5p+2p+1p=8p You can make this easier or harder by the coins that you use. If your child struggles then stick to all 1ps or just 1ps and 2ps. |

To observe closely, using simple equipment To perform simple tests To experiment with, create, select and combine sounds using the inter-related dimensions of music. |
STEM – Water Music You will need: glass jars, water and a (wooden) spoon Change the note: Partially fill a jar or bottle with water – strike or blow across the top. What happens? How do you think the sound is made? Now fill a second container with a different amount of water. How does the sound change when you add more or less water? Challenge 1: Can you use different containers and water to make an instrument that will play a scale? Challenge 2: Can you use your instrument to play a tune? Challenge 3: Can you name a tuned instrument that is similar to the one you have made? |

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.
