Year 1 Home learning for Tuesday 7th July – Seasons and Weather Theme

Subject focus		What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
English	Reading	Understand both the books they can already read accurately and fluently and those they listen to by: Discussing the significance of a the title and events Making inferences on the basis of what is being said and done	Share the story of Elmer and the Wind. If you don’t have this book there is an online version at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrL8ypwNqGc Ask your child to listen carefully because afterwards you will be asking questions about the story to check their understanding. What is the weather like in this story? How do you know? (not just from the title). What was Elmer up to with Wilbur? Why were the other elephants worried? Why did the bird think it was a silly thing to do? Why did Elmer stop flying?
English	Writing	Spell the days of the week. Using a capital letter for names of people, places, the days of the week, and the personal pronoun ‘I’	Remind yourself of the days of the week – you could sing the days of the week song (to the tune of The Addams family) to help. Then write a list of each of the days of the week. Remember they need to have a capital letter. The rest of this week, next to each day, name, draw the weather symbol to represent that day’s weather.
Maths		To consolidate learning and show understanding of number.	This year you have worked so hard during maths activities at school and also while you’ve been learning at home. This week we are going to look at a mixture of skills, activities and challenges, to see what you can do. Are you ready for the challenge? 1) Write three different addition calculations which all have the answer 10. Get 10 cubes or lego pieces to help, make them into two different piles, count and write out the calculation. a) ____ + ____ = 10 b) ____ + ____ = 10 c) ____ + ____ = 10 2) Below you will find a maths mat. If you can print it, you can fill in the answers. If you don’t print it, write your answers on paper. Don’t forget to send a picture of your finished work to your class teacher! The answers to yesterday’s challenge are also below. 3) If you want to, have a look at a maths activity on Education City.
