Year 1 - Tuesday's Home Learning - Langstone Infant Academy

Year 1 Home learning for Tuesday 9th June

Subject focus		What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
English	Reading	Read words containing taught GPCs and –s, -es, -ing, -ed, -er and –est endings	Listen to / share the story ‘My Friend Whale’ which can be found online at – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnFXoMdxzVo&t=72s Make a list of the different suffix words you can spot/hear in the story. Remember these are the words that have -ing, -ed, -est etc added to the end of the root word.
English	Writing	Using –ing, -ed, -er and –est where no change is needed in the spelling of root words	Once you have found the suffix words in the story “My Friend Whale” (see Reading activity), can you write a sentence of your own using those suffix words? Read your sentence back to yourself to check it makes sense. Remember to think about your punctuation, handwriting and finger spaces.
Maths		Compare, describe and solve practical problems for: – lengths and heights (e.g. long/short, longer/shorter, tall/short, double/half)	Watch the video on the following website which explains the vocabulary used for comparing measures. Remember to Keep SAFE online on the internet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zf4vbdm Length or height? Lengths are usually measured sideways, like the snakes above. Heights are measured upwards, like the giraffes standing on the ground. Can you find pairs of objects around your home to compare their lengths and see which is the shorter of the two and which is longer? Compare your height with someone in your family. Who is the taller and who is the shorter?
Other: Science		– Asking simple questions and recognising that they can be answered in different ways. – Observing closely, using simple equipment – Performing simple tests	Water World! Today you are going to investigate water with a grown up. You could mix water with different media and substances and then investigate what happens. You could use cold or hot water and see if that makes a difference. E.g. water and paint, water and glitter, water and washing up liquid, water and cornflower, water and oil, water and salt, water and sugar, ice. Then observe closely what happens when they are together or are mixed. Maybe add two or three different things to the water – what happens now? Use the following question starters to support your thinking. What happens when…? Why does…? Where does…? If I…? WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT? – we would love to hear what you have discovered.
