Year 1 – Tuesday’s Home Learning

Year 1 Home learning for Tuesday 5th May 2020

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
English  Reading Checking that the text makes sense to them as they read and correcting inaccurate reading. Choose any book or text to read but one you are able to read mostly independently.. It could be fiction, non-fiction, poetry, a newspaper, a magazine or even just your favourite book. Read whatever you have chosen, but as you read make sure the text makes sense! If it doesn’t make sense then re-read the sentence or word, or use the picture clues to help you correct it and make it make sense.
Writing Read aloud their writing clearly enough to be heard by their peers and the teacher.

Today we would like you to write about ANYTHING! It could be any genre of writing; a story, diary, instructions, information text, poem etc. Just write about anything that interests you. Remember when you write, THINK IT, SAY IT, WRITE IT, READ IT and remember capital letters, full stops, other punctuation, spelling and handwriting.

Once you have finished writing, you are now ready for today’s activity which is to read your fabulous piece of writing aloud to someone. It could be your parents, brother and sisters or you could even record yourself reading it aloud to someone else. (You could film it and email it to us?)

Maths Recognise, find and name a half as one of two equal parts of an object, shape or quantity. 

Today we are exploring the fraction a half. A half is one whole shared/split into two equal parts and you look at one of those parts – ½ 

Can you find half of different shapes? – you could draw different shapes and then colour in half of each one. (Please see resources at the bottom of this document for some ideas)

Can you find half of different objects? – you could use playdough to make different objects and then find half of them. – e.g. half an apple, half a biscuit, half a worm etc. (Please see resources at the bottom of this document for some ideas)

Can you find half of a quantity? – can you find half of different amounts e.g. ½ of 12 is ___, ½ of 16 is ___ etc – remember to share equally into two groups. (Please see resources at the bottom of this document for some ideas)

Extension Activity – There are activities on Education City that help support this learning further – Maths – Year 1 – Activities – Half your cake and eat it, Half and Half, Half Baked
