Year 1 – Thursday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Thursday 18th June

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 Which animal in “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?” did you like best? Why do you like that animal? If you could add another animal, what would you add? You can draw a picture of this and add it to your story and recite the story again, including your additional animal. 
Writing Begin to punctuate sentences using a capital letter, a full stop and a question mark.

Thinking about ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?’ from your reading activity, can you now write another part to the story. Using your ideas from yesterday of new colours and new animals, try to write some new sentences. E.g. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? I see a pink flamingo looking at me. Can you add three more animals to the story?

Remember when you write your sentences, THINK IT, SAY IT, WRITE IT, READ IT and remember capital letters, full stops, question marks, spelling and handwriting.

Maths Can I solve problems involving shape?

Have a look at the NRich Maths Problem at the bottom of the document.

Can you put the shape puzzle back together? Cut out the puzzle pieces and put it back together again.

What shapes can you see? What are their names? How many sides and corners do they have?

If you are unable to print and cut out the pieces, you could choose one piece and then draw what you think the next piece might be.

Extension activity – Try to complete the puzzle again, but before you start, remove one piece. Once you have completed it, can you work out which piece is missing?

Can you describe or draw the piece that is missing?

Other: 

Art and Design

To develop a wide range of art and design techniques in using colour, pattern, texture, line, shape, form and space.

To learn about the work of a range of artists, describing the differences and similarities between different practices and disciplines, and making links to their own work. 

Read the information about Wassily Kadinsky and look at some of his artwork.

Today we are going to have a go at creating our own ‘circles’ picture in the style of Wassily Kadinsky.

What do you see when you look at this painting?

How has the painting been made?

What kind of colours does Kadinsky use?

What shapes can you see?

Now try to create your own picture in this style.

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.
