Year 1 – Tuesday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Tuesday 21st April

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Read other words of more than one syllable that contain learnt sounds

Select a book of your choice. On a piece of paper, draw a table with a column for 2 syllables, 3 syllables, 4 syllables, 5 syllables (you may want to only focus on 2 or 3 syllables or challenge yourself to find longer words) 

As you read through the book, spot the words that contain more than one syllable and record them in the correct column (i.e. unbelievable would be in the 5 syllable column).  

Challenge- which column has the fewest words? Can you include some of your own words? 

Writing Begin to punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.  Write a letter to someone that you are missing. Think about what it is that you want to tell them and what questions you would like to ask. Are there any interesting facts or funny events that you can include? Remember to vary the way that you begin your sentences and include a range of punctuation. 
Maths Represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20. 

Using number cards that you already have (or numbers written on paper), shuffle the cards and select one from the pile. How many different ways can you make that number by adding or subtracting? Can you record it in a systematic way? How many different numbers can you complete this for? 

Challenge- play against a partner- both choose a card and the person with the most correct addition and subtraction sentences is the winner! 

Further challenge (if needed) – what links can you make to other numbers? If you know that 3+5= 8, how can you apply this to multiples of ten (30+50=80) or other number sentences? 

Other:  Select from and use a range of tools and equipment to perform practical tasks such as cutting, shaping, joining and finishing Using a resource of your choice (junk modelling, lego, playdough…) Make a farm animal. Where possible, think about the colours and features that you need to include. If this is not possible, you could carefully complete a drawing of a farm animal using an image from the internet. 

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.
