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

Year 1 Home learning for Thursday 4th June

Subject focus		What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
English	Reading	Learning to appreciate rhymes and poems, and to recite some by heart	Read the story ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ – by Giles Andreae again. (either on yesterday’s document or on this Youtube link).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBi2tsD2iUQ Now choose your favourite part to learn off by heart. Try to break it into smaller parts and maybe add some actions as these ideas may help you learn it better. Now can you recite and perform it to someone else? Maybe you could even record yourself performing it. INTERNET SAFETY: Please remember you should have an adult with you when you go online – Keep SAFE online Extension activity – Can you write your own poem for a jungle or zoo animal?
English	Writing	Sit correctly at a table, holding a pencil comfortably and correctly. Punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark. Leave spaces between words.	Re-read the ’Dear Zoo’ story by Rod Campbell or listen to the online version at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rudDGRQ9QGA Continue to make your own version of the story. Remember to follow the same structure as the book but you can choose the animals you would like to include. Remember to think carefully about ‘perfect sentences’ and what each page will look like. Will you draw your pictures or cut out images? How will you hide them from view? What type of cages would the animals be in? What will your final ‘perfect’ animal be?
Maths		Tell the time to the hour and half past the hour and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times.	Watch the short video on this link to remind you about telling the time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zhk82hv/articles/zcmdwxs INTERNET SAFETY: Please remember you should have an adult with you when you go online – Keep SAFE online Look at the clock faces shown below. What time do they say? Remember to look carefully at the hands. The minute hand is long and the hour hand is short. Look carefully at the position of the hour hand for the half past times. Extension: do you have any analogue clocks in your house? Go on an analogue clock hunt! Throughout the day, look at the clock and tell a grown up if you see it when it becomes an o’clock time or a half past time.
Other: Science		Can I describe and compare the structure of a variety of common animals (birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and invertebrates, and including pets)?	Look at the pictures below of the different animals and the labels that show their body parts. Can you think of other animals that have similar body parts to the ones shown? Some are easier than others. Present your findings in any way you would like.
