Year 1 Home learning for Thursday 7th May 2020
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: | |
| English | Reading | Participate in discussion about what is read to them, taking turns and listening to what others say |
This could be completed either by listening to a parent read/ family member via video call or a story from the school website. Listen carefully to the story. At the end of the story discuss- what did you like/dislike? Who were the main characters? What were the main events? Did they build on each other? Was there a problem? How was it resolved? How would you improve the story if you could? Use this as an opportunity to take turns in speaking and listening. Encourage your child to respond to your discussion points and if possible, model your answers (“I agree with …. and think that the character who was the funniest was…” “It’s interesting that you didn’t like the part when…. that was the bit that I enjoyed the most” |
| Writing | Use a capital letter for names of people, places, the days of the week, and the personal pronoun ‘I’ | Think back to a fun experience in school (Trip to the farm, Space Dome, Guinea Pig visit, Egg Drop, Ducklings coming to stay…) This could be one of the ones listed or could be a fun experience that you had on the playground or in a lesson. Write about it and include as much detail as possible. Your teachers love to hear about the things that you have enjoyed and it will be lovely to remember all the fun that we have had! Remember to include details such as location, day (if you can remember!) who was present and what happened. We can’t wait to read your memories from the year so far. | |
| Maths | Describe position, directions and movements, including half, quarter and three-quarter turns. |
This could be done verbally by giving instructions to a family member or sibling. Hide a toy somewhere in your home and give your partner directions to find it. Or choose your favourite toy and get an adult to move it and describe the turn/ position/ direction. Alternatively, if you need to work independently- on paper, draw a route or a map of your road/local area. Use a small toy or draw and cut a character out of paper. Plan a route for your character to go. For example- go forwards to the end of the road. Quarter turn left. Forwards ten steps. Quarter turn right. Cross the road. Complete a half turn to look at your surroundings…. |

Other: Music |
Use their voices expressively and creatively by singing songs and speaking chants and rhymes | Think about some of your favourite songs. Can you put on a concert for the people in your home/ someone via video call or for your teacher by email? Learn your song or write one of your own if you are feeling extra clever. You could add dance moves if you like! Perform your song to the person of your choice. We would love to see your performances! | |
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.
