Year 1 Home learning for Thursday 2nd April
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: | |
| English | Reading |
Develop pleasure in reading, motivation to read, vocabulary and understanding by: Listening to stories and saying what they like or dislike about a text. |
Share a fiction book with your child. Choose one that is a little too difficult for them to read independently. Read the book together for pleasure. Once you have finished the story, ask your child for their opinion on different aspects of the book e.g. story, pictures, characters, layout and language. What did they like or dislike? Can they give reasons? |
| Writing |
To punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop. To begin to use ‘and’ to join two sentences. |
Ask your child to write a book review of the story. They need to say what the book is about, what they liked/disliked about it, what their favourite part was, who they would recommend it to and what ‘star’ rating they would give it. When they write their sentences, encourage them to THINK IT, SAY IT, WRITE IT, READ IT! Get them to check they have remembered a capital letter and a full stop. | |
| Maths | Compare, describe and solve practical problems for length. |
Make some worms of different lengths (using playdoh, wool, ribbon or string). Can the children compare them to find out which is the longest? Ask your child to measure how long the worms are with objects in your house such as lego bricks, paper clips, pennies or hair clips (make sure the objects are the same type and size). Choose one worm and ask your child to find things that are longer or shorter than the worm. Year 1 Education City Maths Game: Long, Tall and Short |

Use drawing, painting or sculpture to develop and share ideas, experiences and imagination. Identify and describe the basic structure of a common flowering plant. |
Ask your child to carefully draw or make a flowering plant (junk model / playdoh) thinking carefully about the different parts. Once they have finished, help them to identify and discuss/label the different parts (stem, petal, leaf, roots etc.) describing the role of each part.

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.
