Year 1 – Thursday’s Home Learning

Choose a fiction book you haven’t read before. (free ebooks available on https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/books/free-ebooks/) Read the first few pages and then STOP! Can you predict what might happen next? Have a think about what has happened already, who the characters are and the setting of the story. Use this information to have a guess about what might happen next. Then write your prediction down (see writing task).

Finally once you have written your prediction down, read the rest of the story to find out if you were correct.

Can you write your prediction down – what do you think will happen next in the story? When they write their sentences 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.

Extension activity – can you predict what the end of the story might be?

Try to write the ending of the story.

Try to create a visual timetable for today or create one about the things you did yesterday. Order the activities for the day using language in the left hand box. It can be drawn or written.

E.g. Morning – First get dressed

                       Next have breakfast 

                       After … etc

       Afternoon – First read a book

                          Next … etc

Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made. 

Identify and name a variety of everyday materials, including wood, plastic, glass, metal, water, and rock 

‘We’re going on a Material Hunt…’ – go on a material hunt either around your house, garden or both and see what objects you can find and what different materials they are made from. If you want to you can write down the objects and their materials.

E.g. tin – metal

Extension activities – you could then sort the objects based upon the materials they are made from.
