Year 1 – Thursday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Thursday 2nd July – Sport Theme

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Read aloud accurately books that are consistent with their developing phonic knowledge and that do not require them to use other strategies to work out words.

Choose a book, any book you have at home. It can be one you have read before or one you haven’t, but you do need to be able to read it by yourself. (Free colour banded ebooks available on https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/books/free-ebooks/REMEMBER KEEP SAFE ONLINE.

Once you have chosen a book then read it independently using your reading skills and phonic knowledge. Once you have read it, think about what happened in the book. Can you tell someone else what happened?

Writing Read aloud their writing clearly enough to be heard by their peers and the teacher.

Can you write an acrostic poem for the word ‘SPORTS’?  Remember to write the word ‘SPORTS’ down the side of the page and then start each line with that letter.

Think about your word choices as they should be linked to the word you are writing about.  Once completed you should perform your poem out loud.  Perhaps share it with a grown up or make a video to send to us.

Maths Read and write numbers from 1 to 20 in numerals and words

Find your number cards for the numbers 1 – 20. 

On the reverse of each, have a go at writing the word for that number name. 

Extension: 

Have a go at the game “Fluffy Clouds” on Education City where you can practice matching the word to the numeral.

Other:  Perform dances using simple movement patterns.

Choose a favourite song and try to create your own short dance routine for at least 32 beats of it. That is 4 sets of 8 counts. 

Here is an example below: 

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8  (4 walks forward, step turn, step clap)

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8  (4 walks backward, step turn the other way, step clap)

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8  (right arm up, left arm up, clap clap, right arm down, left arm down, jump jump)

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (roll your arms on your right side for counts 1-2, roll your arms on the left side for 3-4, crouch down to the floor for 5-6, pause for count 7, jump up as high as you can for count 8)

See if you can get people at home to join in with you. We’d love to see film clips of your dances! (Feel free to use the example to some music if you’re a bit stuck!)

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.
