Year 1 – Tuesday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Tuesday 12th May

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:

Literacy

(Phonics/ writing)

Children write some irregular common words. They write simple sentences which can be read by themselves and others. Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically plausible.

Using the table of words from yesterday.  Give your child a word from the phase they are most comfortable with and ask them to write the word into a short sentence. Remind them to include capital letters, finger spaces and full stops at the end of the sentence.

Remember it is ok for your child  to write other words in the sentence phonetically.

Maths – Counting They solve problems, including …halving and sharing.

Get two bowls/plates and some sort of snack that can be shared e.g. raisins, crisps, small biscuits, grapes.

Give your child an even number of these objects and ask them to share them equally between the two  plates. Explain that each plate equals one half. Ask your child to tell you what one half of the amount they started with is. Repeat with other even numbers of objects using the correct vocabulary e.g “half of ten is five”

Other: 

Understanding the World

Children know about similarities and differences in relation to …objects

They make observations… and explain why some things occur.

Floating and sinking

Collect a range of objects that will float or sink. Using a bowl or bucket of water, ask your child to predict which objects will float and which will sink, giving a simple reason for their prediction.  Test which objects float and sink and sort them into two groups.  

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.
