Year 1 - Thursday's Home Learning - Langstone Infant Academy

Year 1 Home learning for Thursday 25th June – Circus Theme

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.	Read the ‘Day of the Circus’ with an adult or older sibling. Talk about words that you don’t know the meaning of and try and spot common exception words. Once you have read it, answer the questions about what you have read. Think about the four different pieces you have read this week, can you say which is your favourite and why? Email your teacher to tell them.
English	Writing	Begin to punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark. Write sentences by: – Saying out loud what they are going to write about – Composing a sentence orally before writing it.	Can you draw a picture of your own circus? What might you have in it? Are there any clowns or acrobats? What might the people be doing in your circus? What colour is your big top tent? When you have finished drawing your circus, now write a few sentences telling us all about it. Remember when you write your sentences, THINK IT, SAY IT, WRITE IT, READ IT and remember capital letters, full stops, other punctuation, spelling and handwriting.
Maths		Solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = __ – 9.	Set a scenario for your child involving money…see the example below. You may choose to do biscuit toppings (like the example), pizza toppings, sandwich fillings or anything that you like. You can alter the value of the toppings or the amount that Minnie has to spend depending on your child’s ability.
Other:		Identify, name, draw and label the basic parts of the human body and say which part of the body is associated with each sense	Can you remember the parts of the body you discussed yesterday? Today you are thinking about the 5 senses, can you remember what they are from the writing task yesterday?: sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch. Which part of your body do you use when you are using your sense of sight? Which part of your body do you use when using your sense of smell? Which part of your body do you use when using your sense of taste? Which part of your body do you use when using your sense of hearing? Our sense of touch is experienced by our whole body through our skin. Have a watch of the following clip to learn more about our 5 senses. Remember to Keep SAFE online. https://youtu.be/q1xNuU7gaAQ Next time you go outside on a walk (adhering to social distancing guidelines), be aware of your senses. What can you see, hear and smell on your walk? Can you see things that have different textures and would feel different? Please do not eat any leaves/plants/flowers/berries you may find on your walk.
