Year 1 – Wednesday’s Home Learning

Using containers, plastic bottles, or cardboard tubes (a use for all those toilet rolls!) set up a set of skittles/bowling pins. 

On each pin, have a different phase 5 phoneme – see phoneme mat at the end of this document. You could write it directly on or attach a post-it note. 

Roll/Throw a ball at the pins and then see which phonemes you knocked down.   

Say the phoneme, say a word containing that phoneme then use that word in a sentence. Write your sentence down taking extra care to spell your word with the specific phoneme correctly. 

Remember your finger spaces, letter formation and punctuation. 

•  Words containing each 40+ phonemes already taught

     Count to and across 100, forwards and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1, or from any given number 

Count, read and write numbers to 100 in numerals

Create your own ‘Snakes and Ladders’ game board on a piece of paper, counting to 100 and writing the digits as you go. Make sure that the numerals are in the correct order e.g. 32 for thirty-two, not 23. Draw your snakes and ladder onto your game board. Enjoy the game! 

As you play, adults can question the children to extend their learning e.g. “I am on 41 and I have rolled a 6. What will I land on?” , “I’m on 92, how many do I need to get to 100? Is this possible with one roll of the dice?”

·      use the basic principles of a healthy and varied diet to prepare dishes

·  understand where food comes from. 

With the help of a grown up, plan and prepare a healthy meal or snack. As you do, think about where the food comes from. Is it from a plant or an animal? Remember to wash your hands thoroughly before, during and after handling and preparing food. 

As an extension, you may wish to write out the recipe for your creation so that you can remember it for future snack ideas and share it with others.

“I Can Cook” on CBBC has some good ideas if you need a little help in getting started. https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/shows/i-can-cook?imz_s=uh24k005pimc8psg1c2fp10o53
