ear 1 Home learning for Monday 30th March
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: | |
| English | Reading |
Develop pleasure in reading, motivation to read, vocabulary and understanding by: Listening to and discussing a wide range of poems, stories and non-fiction at a level beyond that at which they can read independently |
Give your child a selection of books. Choose ones that are a little too difficult for them to read independently. Read the book (or some of it) to them. Once you have read a page ask your child if there are any words they don’t understand the meaning of and either explain them or look the meaning up together. You could create your own book or poster and every time you encounter a word you don’t know the meaning of you could add it on. |
| Writing | To punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop. | At the beginning of the day (after your optional Joe Wicks workout) get your child to write 1 sentence about something they would like to do that day. You may want to give them a choice of 2 things so they don’t write a sentence that is impossible to achieve. When they write their sentence get them to THINK IT, SAY IT, WRITE IT, READ IT! Get them to check they have remembered a capital letter and a full stop. | |
| Maths | Given a number, identify one more and one less. | Write a number on a piece of paper and ask your child to write the numbers that are one more and one less than that number. You could practise this skill in lots of different ways. For instance, lay several number cards (write numbers on post-its or small pieces of paper) in front of your child. Say a number and the child needs to find the number card that shows one more or less than that number. e.g you say 13 they pick up 14. | |
| Other: Art and Design | Use drawing, painting or sculpture to develop and share ideas, experiences and imagination. |
Draw or paint a picture – anything they want. Try to set them a target e.g. try to fill the whole page or include an element of weather in your picture. Once your child has drawn or painted their picture, get them to tell you what they have drawn, ask them questions like ‘What is your favourite part?’ or ‘Is there anything you might change?’ You could use this as a stimulus for writing the next day e.g. ask them to write about their picture. |

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.
