Year 1 Home learning for Tuesday 28th April
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: | |
| English | Reading | Becoming very familiar with key stories, fairy stories and traditional tales, retelling them and considering their particular characteristics |
Choose a traditional tale story e.g. Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk etc (free ebooks available on https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/books/free-ebooks/, also some tales on twinkl too) Read the story either independently or together and discuss how does it begin and end? The setting, the characters and the main plot of the story. Once you have finished the story, try to retell it, you may want to write it down. Extension activity – act out the story, you could dress up as the characters, create puppets and retell it as a puppet show. |
| Writing |
-Using a capital letter for names of people -Form capital letters -Begin to form lower-case letters in the correct direction, starting and finishing in the right place |
Think back to the traditional tale you read earlier and other traditional tale stories you may have read at home or school. Think about all the characters in those stories and whether they are known as a good or bad character. Now make a list of all the good characters and bad characters from traditional tales. Remember a capital letter for their names and try to form all your letters correctly. Extension activity – try to explain why you have put them as a good or bad character. E.g. Goldilocks is a bad character because she breaks Baby Bear’s chair. Also you may want to swap the characters around, make the good characters bad and the bad characters good – what would the traditional tale be like now? |
|
| Maths | – Compare, describe and solve practical problems for: mass or weight (e.g. heavy/light, heavier than, lighter than) |
Find a variety of random objects from your house about 6-8 items e.g. a tin, a pen, play dough, a carrot, a book etc. Then using your hands as bucket scales weigh and compare the items. Then using the language; heavy, light, heavier than and lighter than explain what you have found out. E.g. The book is heavier than the pen. Once you have weighed and compared all the items can you put them in order from lightest to heaviest? Extension activity – If you have some kitchen weighing scales you can then measure each item and find its actual mass and see if you were correct. |
|
| Other: PE | –Master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities |
Create either an exercise routine or an obstacle course in your house or garden. Try to involve the following movements; jumping, throwing, catching, hopping, balancing, running or jogging on the spot. You can use different objects such as hoops, toys, cushions, lego to make it more interesting. Extension activity – time yourself doing the course, can you do it again quicker or slower? Can you beat your time? |
