Year 1 Home learning for Tuesday 31st March
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: | |
| English | Reading |
Become very familiar with key stories, fairy stories and traditional tales, retelling them and considering their particular characteristics |
Ask your child to choose a story to read (preferably a traditional tale). Read together or let them read it to you. After the story, discuss the key features (good/bad characters/happy ending/setting of the story/ Traditional Tale etc) Challenge your child to find other books that have similar features to the ones in the story. |
| Writing | To punctuate sentences using a capital letter and a full stop. To form letters in a cursive style. | This could be an activity to follow on from reading. Challenge your child to take the ending from a known traditional tale and rewrite it with different events (Goldilocks doesn’t get away from the three bears/ The woodcutter forgets his axe when he tries to save Red Riding Hood and her Grandma). Rehearse the sentences together and let your child write them. (Remember to use yesterday’s strategy of THINK IT, SAY IT, WRITE IT, READ IT!) Focus on slow and clear formation of letters as well as capital letters and full stops. | |
| Maths | Read and write numbers in numerals and words. |
Show a number written in digit form (you could use playing cards or numbers written on paper). Have a pile of numbers laid out for your child to choose. As they turn it over, challenge them to read it and write it correctly as a word. (You could encourage them to tell you about the number ie- it is larger than… it has … tens) Repeat with the numbers written in word form and encourage your child to write it as digits. (You could have a mixture of both numbers and words) Work to where your child is comfortable. This could be 0-10, 0-20 or a focus on numbers greater than 20. |

| Other: |
Use the basic principles of a healthy and varied diet to prepare dishes. To understand where food comes from. |
Discuss the range of foods you have in your household. Talk to your child about healthy and unhealthy choices. (They have learnt about this when the Dental Students visited us so they should be able to identify good food choices.) Ask your child where the food comes from (animals, trees, plants) and if they are from the UK or another country. Encourage your child to either plan a healthy meal or take part in making their lunch/ dinner (with supervision). Reinforcing handwashing routines and identifying the different foods that they have used. | |
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.
