Year 1 – Thursday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Thursday 30th April

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English Reading Read words with contractions and understand that the apostrophe represents the omitted letter.

Read through the words on the attached sheet. Can you read them independently? Can you say what words they represent? (ie- don’t = do not) You could write them on paper or say them aloud. Choose some books that you have in your home (or use the free Oxford Owl website where they have lots of free ebooks https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/) and try to spot as many words in their contracted form as possible.

Challenge- can you write them in a sentence for someone else to read? Can someone write them in sentences for you to read?

Writing Use ‘ing, ed,’where no change is needed to the spelling of root words

Look through the words on the attached page. We can use them in past and present tense.

I walked/ I am walking. She listened/ she is listening.  (Can you think of anymore?)

Can you put the words into interesting sentences using ‘ing/ed’? ie-

‘Kick’ Mrs Blakely kicked the ball as hard as she could and it landed in a very tall tree.

‘play’ Yesterday I had lots of fun playing games with my Dad and I won!

(This could link to your Maths learning so you could combine the two)

Maths Sequence events in chronological order using language such as: before and after, next, first, today, yesterday, tomorrow, morning, afternoon and evening

Plan your dream day or week!  Record what you would making sure that it is in the correct (chronological)  order.

Ie- first I wake up and fly downstairs using my magic cape. Before I have my breakfast I go on a bouncy castle. After breakfast I get to wear anything that I want and we walk to the beach. Next I throw stones in the water and after that I buy a chocolate ice cream with sprinkles and syrup. Later on I get another ice cream!

This could be completed by drawing pictures or writing sentences (or any other way that you wish!) Use the language before, after, next, first, today, yesterday, tomorrow, afternoon and evening as part of your sentence work or underneath your pictures. We look forward to seeing what you would like to do!

This builds on your learning from last week.words for Thursday

Other: Art Develop a wide range of art and design techniques using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form or space.

Using the resources that you have collected this week (crisp wrappers/ biscuit wrappers…) can you make a rainbow? Or can you make a collage of something that interests you? This could be a pet/ a friend/ your family. The choice is yours! If you do not have any collage resources, you could choose an item in your home/ garden and draw it carefully thinking about line, shape and colour.

You could display your art work in your window.

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.
