Year 1 – Monday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Monday 8th June

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Listening to and discussing a wide range of poems, stories and non-fiction at a level beyond that at which they can read independently

Listen to / share the story of ‘Billy’s Bucket’ – There is a version being read by Mrs Watson on the school website.

Discuss the different things that Billy can see in his bucket.  At the end of the story, why do you think Billy says, ‘I told you not to borrow my bucket?’

Writing Words containing each 40+ phonemes already taught Write a list of the items you would find in your bucket if you had one. (Link to Billy’s Bucket story).  Use your phonics to sound out the words carefully to help you spell them correctly.
Maths

Measure and begin to record the following: 

– lengths and heights 

When measuring we can use non-standard objects as our measure. Choose something that you can use to measure e.g. tin cans, straws, lego bricks etc. You will need quite a few of the same object. 

Use your object to measure the height of a chair in your house. Is it more or less than you expected? 

Using the information you have found, can you estimate how many of your object would be the same height as you? 

Other: 

Geography

Use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to:

– key physical features, including: beach, cliff, coast, forest, hill, mountain, sea, ocean, river, soil, valley, vegetation, season and weather.

– key human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour and shop.

Water, water everywhere! 

Can you think of where you might find or see water?

It may be inside or outside, in this country or around the world. 

It can also be a physical feature (naturally found) or a human feature (man-made).

Can you write down the names or draw all the different types or sources of water that you have thought of? 

Extension activity – Can you sort all your ideas into physical features or human features of water? Or you could label your ideas as physical or human.

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.
