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

Year 1 Home learning for Tuesday 23rd June – Circus Theme

Subject focus		What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
English	Reading	Read common exception words, noting unusual correspondences between spelling and sound and where these occur in the word.	Just like yesterday, read through the paragraph below ‘The History of Circuses’. Using the Common Exception words table highlight or underline all the common exception words that feature in the paragraph. Read the paragraph with someone and discuss the information included, work with them to answer the questions provided.
English	Writing	Begin to punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.	Think about your 5 senses, can you name them? Now think about the circus. What might you see, hear, feel, smell and taste at the circus. (See photos below for some ideas.) Now write some sentences recording your ideas. E.g. I can see colourful clowns. Remember when you write your sentences, THINK IT, SAY IT, WRITE IT, READ IT and remember capital letters, full stops, other punctuation, spelling and handwriting. Some senses are easier to write about than others, so if you are struggling just do the ones you know.
Maths		Recognise and know the value of different denominations of coins and notes	Write a monetary amount and ask your child to use coins to make that amount e.g. 24p. The amount can be altered to suit your child’s ability i.e. teen numbers, less than a pound or over a pound. Discuss that amounts can be made in different ways. Can you find more than one way to make the same amount? Which method is more efficient?
Other:		Master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and coordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities	Watch the following clip of children walking a tightrope. (Remember Keep SAFE on the internet) https://youtu.be/Qvx7VS1x2_U Make a straight line along the floor – either with tape, string or chalk if possible. Ask a grown up to help with this so you don’t damage or ruin any furniture or flooring! Imagine it is a tightrope at the circus. Can you walk along it without wobbling or falling off? Can you walk across it on your tiptoes? Does putting your arms out to the side help you? What if your hands are behind your back? Can you do it with your eyes closed? Don’t forget to keep practicing your juggling from yesterday too!
